Pocketed-Padding Gem - Increases shield segment capacity, allowing for an extra 2 shield segments to be stocked - Blue, Slot bonus +2 stock capacity, cannot upgrade.


Would be nice to see Summon/Shield/Charge gems appear in game specifically - due to them being easily built around with equipment, but slightly too rare to find reliably in runs.

I do like the idea of having some base shield/charge/summon powers on the gems but I am not sure about shield generating powers, it would definitely need to be carefully tuned cos shield segment(s) on multihit kill focus already seems better than some shield generating powers. On that note, here are some additional ideas that I feel could utilize some underperforming gear/powers, could also be made into future power/skill ideas. though some of these are also kinda stupidly gamebreaking that they might as well not exist

 

Solvent Gem - When an enemy takes Poison damage, deal 50/75/100% Weapon Damage to them. +Slot Bonus: Triggers effect on attacking Poisoned enemies.

Epidemic Gem - Taking Poison damage releases an explosion, damaging nearby enemies for 600/800/1000% of the damage taken. +Slot Bonus : Increased size for Poison pools spawned.

Full House Gem - Knocking enemies into the edges of the room, environments or other enemies inflicts 200/300/400% Weapon Damage to them, stunning them and heavily knocking hit enemies back. +Slot Bonus: Slam damage scales with your Knockback bonus.

Mother's Eyes Gem - Released Paincones targets nearby enemies, and Spikeballs are flung towards them upon spawning. +Slot Bonus: +1 bonus Paincone and doubled Spikeballs spawns. (totally not originally planned for mother treek armor skill)

 

Acidic Gem - Increases healing received while Poisoned by 40/50/60%. +Slot Bonus : Slows Poisoned enemies.
