Kinetic Gem

Kinetic Gems can be socketed into cosmetic items to grant a variety of customizations to the hero equipping that item. Kinetic gems are hero-specific.

Acquisition

 * Most Kinetic Gems come default on specific, newly acquired cosmetic items.
 * If the gem is removed, that item loses any customizations bound to the gem.
 * Items sold on the Market are often stripped of gems.

Customizations

 * Model animations
 * Ambient effects
 * Ability effects
 * Ability icons

Priority
Customizations may conflict when two or more Kinetic Gems are equipped. When this occurs, the following priority is followed:


 * Custom autoattack animations from gems stack. The hero will randomly select custom animations from all equipped gems.

* If equipped with any other taunt, character will randomly select a taunt to perform.
