Lore

In the Stormlight Archive, Stormlight is, unsurprisingly, a vital resource. It is the energy source used to make fabrials work (their equivalent of electronic devices), and is the fuel for Surgebinding. Stormlight is acquired by leaving gemstones out in a Highstorm - when the gems are retrieved after the storm, they glow with this magical light.

Though a few gemstones are acquired by mining, the planet of Roshar is not old enough to have the quantity of gemstones we have on Earth underground. However, most creatures native to Roshar grow Gemhearts inside themselves

In the mod

In this mod, I decided (following Kevyn's advice) to use hunger as the fuel for Surgebinding, since it's much easier to get food than it is to acquire xp, which was my other option. As such, you are now able to store food in gemstones, equivalent to storing Stormlight. To do this, simply right-click with a gemstone in your hand, provided you have eaten enough food for it. The values stored depend on the gemstone:

• Diamond or Sapphire - Your full hunger bar
• Smokestone, Ruby, Emerald, Zircon, Topaz, or Heliodor - Half your hunger bar
• Amethyst Shard or Garnet - A quarter of your hunger bar

In theory, if you are using your powers and your hunger bar reaches zero, it should automatically refill if you have the appropriate infused gemstones in your inventory. If this doesn't work, let me know, cos I may need to add in a few lines of code. Abrasion already likes to misbehave.
