Ringed Ruby of Raggadorr

Universe: Marvel (Juggernaut: The Eighth Day).

Description: Mystic gem that transforms its owner into the Stonecutter.

Requirements: None known, though Raggadorr's chosen Exemplar in canon was a somewhat artistically skilled individual with chaotic tendencies.

Powers/function: Much like the Crimson Gem works for the Juggernaut, the Ringed Ruby turns its owner into the Stonecutter, an avatar of the evil extra-dimensional entity Raggadorr. The Stonecutter has class 100 superhuman strength and durability, enough to completely no-sell Spiderman's best blows and send him flying like an annoying bug or to get into an approximately even fistfight with the Juggernaut in his Eighth Day power levels. There is also one (1) feat that seems to suggest that, much like the Juggernaut, the Stonecutter also enjoys a degree of telepathic protection, although it should be noted that later on Bedlam was capable of incapacitating the Stonecutter along the rest of the Exemplars.
More important than the superhuman stats, however, is his power to turn the ground he steps on into sophisticated technological devices made of rock. His creations range from stone platforms for flight to 'imprisonment field' projectors capable of holding the Juggernaut (as well as a full Avengers lineup that included Nova, Thor and Iron Man) going through computers capable of hacking Iron Man's armour despite Stark's counter-measures, energy guns, kinetic weapons capable of staggering the Juggernaut and more.
His greatest creation, other than the God-Machine he built to turn humanity into slaves of the Octessence entities, was a flying stone fortress armed with weapons capable of repelling Thor, Iron Man and Wonder Man in ionic form and auto-compensating energy shields.

Disadvantages: Upon becoming the Stonecutter, there is something of a personality overwrite. Though previous skills and memories remain, the personality changes to better suit Raggadorr's desires.

Comments: It is actually a pretty damn sweet little jewel. Didn't remember Stonecutter being this strong.
