Gemstone Necklace

An uncommon neck armor from The Caves, part of the Gemstone set. Provides +1 Shield and +1 CHA alongside the KineticSpikes passive, which adds Kinetic Spikes — dealing damage to enemies when they hit you through kinetic force.

Kinetic Spikes activates on contact hits, dealing a set amount of damage back to the attacker. This is similar to Thorns but tied specifically to kinetic/physical impact rather than a generic reflect. The +1 CHA benefit is modest but useful for builds that scale off CHA, such as Charming or social-stat classes. The +1 Shield is minimal protection on its own.

A minor but well-rounded piece that supports CHA builds while providing passive retaliation. Pairs with the Gemstone Crown to complete the two-piece Gemstone set. Useful in Cave zones where physical melee enemies are common and retaliation damage adds up over multiple encounters.
