"Y hallo thar, sea bass!" the young woman waves you over. "I'm Maelur and boy have I got a deal for you!" she introduces herself, and gives a wink. "C'mon! You gotta see these!" she turns and goes down an alley, slipping into a doorway.

Will you follow?

Just inside the shop is a bulletin board, "Rules" scrawled across the top, and under it, said rules are written out.

1. All of Gaia's rules and ToS apply.
2. Do not copy, resell, steal or redistribute art.
3. All art, including font, are made by sheepcakes
4. No mules, editing or deleting games or sales posts, or other forms of cheating.
5. Don't be a d**k. Seriously, I don't want to have a billion rules.

RolePlay Rules
1. Keep it PG-13 max.
2. No god characters, except Maelur.
3. Be sure to have permission from all owners involved before handling another's rocks.

Next to the rules is a hastily scrolled note titled "Updates"

March 22, 2017: Valentine's grams all grown, all journals updated (except sheepcakes cus she's lazy)
February 9, 2017: Valentine`s Day grams are here. The last day to order will be on Feb. 14.
February 9, 2017: All Rocks sould be grown, except sheepcakes cuz she's a lazy bum wanted to be sure there was time for Valentine's Day rocks.
December 13, 2016: Hosting will happen on imgur, as photobucket is a butt. All current rocks will grow about 1 week after grams close, along with any gram rocks. The second growth will be about 2 to 3 weeks after that. Save each stage, as certain owner actions (breeding & IC/RP magic use) will regress the rocks 1 to 2 stages. If you lose a stage, send sheepcakes a PM and she will find it for you.
December 4, 2016: Winter grams will close for the year on January 1, 2017. Meaning 1/1/17 is the last day you can order them.
December 4, 2016: Existing and new pet rocks will start to grow after I get image hosting sorted out.
November 3, 2016: Shop created!

This shop is full of magic. It has a central location in Barton Town, but there are shops in Isle de Gambino, Durem and Aekea. All linked to the main shop by a magic door. ((Think Howel's Moving Castle)) So no matter what part of Gaia you live, the shop is never far away.

Here we sell pet rocks. But not just any rocks, nope. These are magic rocks! And they're wonderful for those who can tap into said magic. Or to just sit on your shelf and give a pretty sparkle. Your choice.

The pets, as it were, are the rocks. The player character is any, or all, of your original character/s (OCs). You can RolePlay, or not, as you see fit. Hoard as many rocks as you want, all for one OC or as many OCs as you feel up to using.

The Rocks

Currently, there are 2 types of rock, single color and triple color. More types may be introduced later.
User Image

The speckle/spotted rocks in the Winter grams will be added into regular stock at some point. Right now, though, they'll be gram/event specials. This is likely how it will happen any time a new rock type is added.

Rocks start out as just rocks, nothing too special about them.
After 2 to 3 weeks they sprout one crystal. This means they have stored up a bit of magic energy.
After another 2 to 3 weeks, they have sprouted a second crystal, meaning they have about double the energy as they had before.

If a rock "breeds" it will lose it's stored energy, and therefore, it's crystal/s. Energy may be stored up again after breeding, causing crystals to regrow.

Furthermore, you can tap into the stored energy. If used wisely, no crystal loss will happen. If the spell uses a lot of energy, or perhaps you were careless or are unskilled, the energy usage will fully drain a rock. This will also cause the loss of one or both crystals. Again, the energy can be stored again. The only way crystal growth won't happen again is if a rock is destroyed. Please do not break the rocks. D:

Sales:

Are mostly done by custom. But I will add some premade rocks now and then. Premades will either be mass produced, limited or one of a kind. It depends on what I want to do with them. Pay attention to premade type when ordering.

The energy the rocks store is elemental. There are a few elements, but each element has multiple aspects.

So far, these are the ones that have been discovered. More may be discovered as we work with our rocks. ((Through RP and shop events))

Aspects cannot be mixed and matched between elements. Aspects are locked to their respective element, to show what part of that element you can use.

Element Fire:
Aspects of fire;
Flame - creates fire, very hard to control
Ember - turns an object into an ember, a more reliable way to make fire
Heat - creates only heat
Light - creates only light

Element Water:
Aspects of water;
Liquid - can control a liquid, always binds to a specific liquid, other liquids may be influenced with training
Ice - can turn any liquid into a frozen state
Steam - can turn any liquid into a hot gaseous state
Mist - can turn any liquid into a cold gaseous state

Element Earth:
Aspects of earth;
Soil - can control rich earth, the kind good for farming, has a light influence on growth for plants that use fertile farmland/potting soil
Sand - can control sand, has a light influence on growth for plants that thrive in sandy soil
Stone - can control stone and gems, has a light influence one how fast rocks store energy/grow crystals
Metal - can control metals and gems, has a light influence on how fast rocks form crystals

Element Air:
Aspects of air;
Wind - Can control wind
Lightning - can create/control lightning/electricity
Thunder - can create thunder

Element Life: NOT recommended for any rank lower than master, needs double of same aspect to be most effective.
Aspects of Life;
Growth - can increase growth rates for all living things
Death - can talk to the dead, can travel safely through the underworld
Birth - has influence over life before birth/hatching
Illness - has control over illness

Element Spectral: NOT recommended for any rank lower than master, needs double of same aspect to be most effective.
Aspects of spectral;
Holy - healing magics
Dark - necromancy and stuff >.>
Spirit - can talk to the dead/spirits, can spirit walk through other dimensions

A rock may have a maximum of 2 elements and 2 aspects. Aspects will always match element/s.

The aspects for Life and Spectral need to have double aspects for the best chance to work properly. Example, a rock with a single element of Life plus a double Death aspect will have a better chance to get you safely through Hell than a rock with a double element of Life + Fire and aspects of Death & Ember.
Double aspect rocks are rare, and should only be handled by magic users of the highest experience.

Pedestals are how you display your rocks. Currently, they come in copper, silver and gold. It is unknown at this time if the material used influences the rocks at all. Why not take notes and report back to Maelure? ((Create a journal here and poke sheepcakes to say you're interested in testing for further instruction.))

User Image

You may purchase additional pedestals at 5,000 gaia gold each, but each rock may only be active one 1 pedestal at a time. ((This will recert your rock and put the unused pedestal into your inventory))
Should you find you have more pedestals than rocks, you may purchase more rocks as well.

Other materials Maelur is considering using; mythrill, various stone, various woods, iron, bronze and diamond. They will be added as they are created.

The pedestal base is oak.

Pedestals are crucial to "breeding"

Pedestals from events and grams have no known affects, good or ill. If you want your event or gram rock put onto a normal pedestal, first buy the pedestal, then head over to certing to get it fixed. The cert will not change, just the pedestal.

Baby rocks?!

not really babies, but yes rocks can make more rocks.

Price: 1,000,000g per breeding

To see all breeding information, look at post 3 in this thread.

When two rocks and an empty pedestal are in close proximity of each other, magic happens.

Want a rock but none are for sale? See if Maelur can mine you up a special rock. For custom information, look in post 2 of this thread.

Credits

sheepcakes (aka Mage or Sheep) made all the art, and the font.
Maelur is sheepcakes's mule and OC.

I have no idea who first dreamed up pet rocks. A mod for Minecraft, called Thaumcraft, is partly responsible for my idea of magic pet rocks. My general love for fantasy stories and RolePlay is the other part of that inspiration.

Gaia Online owns Barton, Durem, Aekea and Isle de Gambino and all parts of the map that you may decide to include in RP.

The Pokémon Company owns Pokémon evolution stones.
