SOCKETS
Syntax: PUT <SOCKET> IN <ITEM>
        GET <SOCKET> FROM <ITEM>
        socket <item>

There are certain items within the realms that are considered to be
socketable items. This basically means that a small clasp has been forged in
a weapon or piece of armor to which a socket can be affixed.

Sockets range from gemstones to spikes, and can be found all over the realms
in varying locations. Certain sockets can only fit in certain items, and
grant that item the properties of that socket. There are also certain sockets
that once affixed, can never be removed.

A jeweler can cut one of those clasps themselves. It has to be a weapon or a
piece of armor; rings will not take a clasp, and neither will anything that
already has one. A gem a jeweler cut has to be imbued before it will sit in
any socket.

Cutting into an item that is rare or unique is risky.
