When Ning mentions that some of the Gems might be able to be easily removed, he thinks to himself how curious it is and decides to flash his detect magic along the walls. Suddenly, many of the gems begin to glow with magic. Some register surpringly strong magic while others, barely a whisper.
"Be careful, Ning," Simon warns. "Some of these are magical."
Knowledge Arcana: [1d20+15] = 6+15 = 21
His eyes slowly scan the entire cave and suddenly realizes that there's more to these gems than he first thought. "Whoa..." Simon whispers as he adjusts his dark spectacles. "It's a web of ley lines emanating from the gems. It's beautiful... I wonder who built this..."
Meanwhile:
Betimi is examining the wands for any clue to their passwords. Some spellcasters would cleverly carve arcane writing or special codes that require a cipher into their wands and disguise them as beautiful designs.
She learns: [I'm assuming you're taking 20 on your spot checks.]

- The ornately carved stick most distinguishing feature is it has a arrow or crossbow bolt carved near the tip of the shaft.
- The enchantment wand is made from Ash wood and has a fairly plain look except for the tip which is encrusted with diamond dust.
- The Illusion wand is made from Cycad Wood the handle seems to be wrapped in some kind gnarled leather with 3 bits of bone protruding from underneath which fit snuggly between the fingers, providing a firmer grip. There's one additional bone on the opposite side of the handle, situated near the top of the grip.
- The Divination wand is made from Larch wood. It has a small crystal ball embedded in the tip. Only with close scrutiny does the fanciful filigree clutching the crystal ball to the of the wand reshape itself until it forms the word, COGNOSCO! Blink and it returns to a normal vine pattern.
- The Conjuration wand is made from Rosewood with Chamomile flower embedded around the shaft. It smells of ginger.
