Sagecrafting is another crafting method in Reckoning in which Shards are used to create Gems on Altars. This Kingdoms of Amalur Gem Crafting Recipes guide focuses on such gems.
These gems can then be used on weapons and armor to imbue special qualities and properties. As noticed, the raw materials for sage-crafting are Shards.

Kingdoms of Amalur Gem Crafting Recipes
Sagecrafting Shards are basic crystals that you find and use on Altars to create Gems. Shards have different types of qualities. The three known qualities are:
- Cloudy
- Lambent
- Pristine
Shards are of various types, and their names clearly indicate the properties that they would enhance. Elemental shards create elemental gems which give elemental damage when used with weapons, and elemental defense when used with armor.
Some of the shards are:
- Fire Shard
- Ice Shard
- Lightning Shard
- Magic Shard
- Physical Shard
- Poison Shard
- Protection Shard
Types of Gems and Gem Recipes

Gem Recipes
Like Alchemy, there are set combinations to create certain effects. Unlike Alchemy, you can preview the result of Sagecrafting before performing it, you are never sagecrafting blindly.
There 196 different combinations (7 shard types, 2 shards per gem, 4 categories) with some overlap. For instance, Fire + Protection and Ice + Protection both give + Physical Damage when used as a weapon gem.
An example of the gem recipe is Gem of Sparks – 1x Cloudy Lightning Shard, 1x Cloudy Magic Shard. When used on weapon, it adds +3 Lightning damage and a 10 Lightning Damage duration attack to the weapon.
