So I wonder whether all gems come out of the ground perfectly cut in Erfworld, or is that just a side effect of Sizemore's magic in pulling it out of the ground. Either way, gem cutting is apparently one of the many unneeded skills in Erfworld.

Also, I wonder if we are going to see what the pliers can do when they are attuned now.

And we still don't know for sure whether Parson is really a hippiemancer or whether Janis was just protecting him.
