This is my entry for the crafting ideas contest ~
One thing I think we could see more of in Movoda is jewelry, and this is a somewhat unique idea I've come up with utilizing glass prisms. We have in the game already all of the materials needed to create these, and the precision of the cuts needed to create a light prism would imply the need for a highly skilled artisan. Thus a crafter ;)
*What is a Prism?*
Quite simply, prisms are objects made of glass, cut at specific angles to refract light. A less scientific way to say it is, it is faceted/cut glass that when light shines on it makes pretty shiny rainbow colors. Think low-budget disco ball. :X The point is, they are attractive baubles that can also appear magical ;)
*Application to Movoda*
Crafters make glass, glass bottles, lenses (magnifying glass, etc.)
Crafters could therefore cut/shape glass, it isn't too much of a stretch.
The mathematical precision needed to cut a light prism out of glass implies the need for a highly skilled artisan, and likely this item would have a moderate fail rate because of the precision involved.
Likewise, successfully maintaining a steady hand to create one of these objects would be a good gain of experience for the crafter.
Disclaimer: I am not a crafter, I'm trying to look at other items timers etc. to get an idea of xp rate, these are definitely negotiable
The main purpose of this idea is to make something pretty ^.^ The stats as presented are absolutely negotiable, the glasscutting/orbmaking/prismmaking components are there to give crafters something else to do to make xp ;)
*Items*
Glass Orb
Weight: 2 stones
Class: Component
Can be crafted at crafting level 35 (all)
Jiroka; 100% success, 60 sec base timer
50 xp
Materials Required:
The idea here is an advanced glassmaking to make actual shaped glass using sand(stone), the addition of steel is because you'd be using something to help you 'shape' the glass and to make it more material dependent. In addition this could be used as a kind of inexpensive crafting xp gain much like the creation of regular glass. The success rate on the subsequent items (the actual prisms) should help to balance the influx of orbs.
Was also contemplating the ability to shatter orbs and get regular glass from it.
Light Prism
Weight: 2
Class: Component
Can be crafted at level : 40 (all)
Materials Required: 1 Glass Orb
500 seconds, 1000 xp/S, 350xp/F, very low success rate.
I would say at the lvl required to make it that these items would probably succeed 1 in 10, at most.
More Items / Application
Item: Prismatic Necklace

The idea here is that the refracted light can be distracting to an enemy thus giving you an advantage in agility, the HP/MP bonus cause its a magical sparkly rock? I tried to make this 'not as good as' an Ona tali, certainly up for suggestions of adjustment, just nice to have another neck piece based on char level that isn't invasion only, though obviously without the atk/defense bonuses of that other. Rope for cord, maybe a thin rope ;X

Yay magic stick? Other idea was to equate the MP restore to bloody staff and throw in it needing a handful of expensive gems as well, and remove the other bonuses. Willing to fiddle. Requires a reasonably high magic level, would like to see an upgrade to the voodoo for the people who werent able to get the bloody staffs on theholiday, or an equivalent, which is long overdue. Or it can be just a better voodoo ;X
Other idea was make it a 1handed item to give CB-quality mp restore to the SOMR slot
*Additional Spin-off**
A new type of tool for glass carving could be made by smiths;
(This tool could be used for other crafting recipes later)
Certainly prisms could be added to more items: dreams of prismatic spatula~
