  • Mana Rock is the industry standard name for artifacts that produce mana. But not all Mana Rocks are Mana Rocks, and so that shall be the scale on which these artifacts are judged.

    Counterpoint! People often refer to the gem in an engagement ring as a “rock”. Gems and Crystals should be in B-tier at least.
    My personal ranking would be
    S-tier: actual factual rocks
    A-Tier: objects that are clearly made out of stone, maybe some gems or crystals if they’re lucky
    B-Tier: other gems & crystals
    C-Tier: objects made out of mostly metal
    D-tier: objects made out of organic materials (Heraldic Banner, Black Lotus)

    For the record, some gems are rocks. "Gem" is not really a geologist term unless you are specifically looking to sell them as such. An example would be obsidian, which has been fitted into jewellery before and yet is both a rock and a glass, not a sigular mineral like diamond.

    Literally unwatchable (lmao).
    I would argue that despite not being rocks themselves, the Component pouch can contain rocks, such as those that would be used for the Magic Stone spell in DnD, and while neither are really rocks, they make you touch the best kind of rocks: Dice. The shiny rocks that go click-clack of the TTRPG community.
    (Plus Component pouch is like, pretty good. 45% of the time [Assuming no advantage mechanics] you make about 2 mana every 2 turns, which is about standard, but 55% of the time you make 4 mana every 3 turns. It is about 1.183 mana per turn and that is without dice modifiers. Plus if you have a dice roll deck it is very useful.)
