Few things -

1. Bone crafts sometimes make 'Gems', but they serve no purpose and don't count as gems for the various other reactions.
2. Soul Well's gather from nearby corpses does not appear to work. After the first siege got smacked down hard by the merchant guards, I quickly built a soul well and stacked their bodies around it and set the reaction for repeat. At no point did I ever get souls.

1. impossible, the crafts reaction in the craftsman is hardcoded.
2. never run any dfhack using reactions on repeat, they dont work. Run them once (in that case perfectly fine, because all corpses will be made into souls in one go anyway)

[Boltgun]

What bone craft did you run? The normal craftman one?

I'll recheck the soul well. If repeat prevent it from working, I'll update the manual to remove that advice. In any case, can you try to queue it twice?

[Meph]

I use your soul well reaction for the dwarves, and it works. And there have been no changes on it since.

The Well of Souls works intermittently for me.  And when it does work, it's after a noticeable delay following the completion of the workshop task.  I've been queueing up just one try, and then if that fails (after waiting a few seconds to be sure), then I queue up another, until it works, or until it has failed enough times in a row to convince me that the things sitting by the workshop have no souls left in 'em.

I was unable to tell whether the intermittent result is because of low Alchemist (Witch? Sorcerer? whatever the hell it is) skill, or just random chance, or whether it's a bug or a feature.

It only accepts corpses, not bodyparts. Heads, legs, hands, feet and arms do not give souls, only upper-bodies do.

I was just running standard Craftsman, Bone, Bone Crafts and it made the standard selection of things, scabbards, figurines and ilk, as well as dozens of gems. They were valued much like the other crafts, so I'm not sure their point. Most of them were called spine gems, as if they were made from Spine bones...

[Meph]

That sounds... odd. Not sure what would cause that. Crafts are hardcoded to 7 specific items, and gems are certainly not among them.

[Kiefatar]

I don't think they were really 'gems' in that they didn't function as such. I couldn't use them to store souls from the soul well for example, but they had the name.

[Meph]

Boltgun, say isnt "Stygian Bronze Stygian Pitchfork" a bit odd?

[Arcvasti]

The name so nice, you say it twice!

[Boltgun]

Boltgun, say isnt "Stygian Bronze Stygian Pitchfork" a bit odd?

Not at all, it's perfectly fine. (okay I might rename that)

[Meph]

Styx Pitchfork would be fine.

[draeath]

Hmm, kind of like "Bandit Bandit" bandits!

[Boltgun]

Styx pitchfork it is then. I am adding new summon too for MDF creatures, the hard part there is to think of challenging reagents.
