Gear Friday Overview: Emerald-Powered Gears!

This gear friday, alike last one, only came with two unique gears - neither of them limited. I sure hope this doesn't become a new trend. Much alike two weeks ago, the gears are also clan themed. Anyway, the gears released were Knights of the Seventh Sanctum Spell Book and Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum Staff.

Knights of the Seventh Sanctum Spell Book
Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum Spellbook
"Use the spell contained in this book to help stabilize the warring clans of ROBLOX. Click to summon a protective shield that you can then fire at enemies." -ROBLOX

Mesh: The mesh is alike the usual book meshes, commonly seen in hats. It looks nice, and obviously looks like a spell-book, as it is just a casual book. Although it seems a little lazily done, as there are already tons of book meshes already made. Something like this would look a bit better - 8.5/10.
--------------------------
Texture: The texture really makes the book 'shine.' The book, alike other Knights of the Seventh Sanctum gears, is a glossy  rainbow color with green outlining the book's edges. There is also a Seventh Sanctum logo on the front of the book (the green diamond shape with claw looking things sticking out). It looks nice, and fits well with the other Seventh Sanctum items, so I'm giving it a 9.5/10.
--------------------------
Price: The book is prices at 750 Robux, which is a nice price for something that looks so shiny, and has a nice ability. It does seem a bit overpriced though. I'd probably price it around 500 Robux, but it's current price isn't that bad, 8/10.
--------------------------
Ability: This book's ability is REALLY overpowered. On click, shield of crystals form in front of you that break if they get hit, but protect you from damage. If you click again, all of the remaining gems shoot off in the direction they are facing, and each one to hit another character does 22 damage. It is a really cool ability, and really handy - 10/10.

Overall: 9/10


Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum Staff
Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum Staff
"Use the magical power of Emeralds to immobilize and shock your target!" -ROBLOX

Mesh: The mesh looks fantastic. It is a normal staff that curves around at the top. On the curve sits three nice little rings. The staff also has a grip on it for you to hold, and plenty of other cool features sticking off of it - 9.5/10.
--------------------------
Texture: The texture makes the staff look great, but ruins the Seventh Sanctum themed gears. Usually they are glossy and rainbowy like the book above, but this is just a normal staff with tan rings and a grip. This staff was renamed earlier, as it used to be Wizards of the Astral Isles Staff, as the notification currently calls it. Because of the fact this looks nothing like a Seventh Sanctum item, I'm giving the texture a 7.5/10.
--------------------------
Price: This staff is priced at 500 Robux, which is a bit less than the book, but it's power is much worse than the book. I think that ROBLOX overpriced it by about 100 Robux, so I'm going to give this a 8/10.
--------------------------
Ability: (As the gear does not work in-game while inserted through a machine, I just have the notification and description to rate the ability off of). On click, you summon a floating emerald. The emerald uses magic and channels energy into a shock blast. That blast immobilizes any foes within the area for 10 seconds, and each second they loose 5 health. It seems a little stupid, and there are already plenty of gears like this that are a lot better, so this gets a 7/10.

Overall: 8/10
