Vortum Jewels are an in-game currency used to cheat the rules of the game. For example, one can be used to revive your character from the dead. These jewels are accumulated by completing Achievements. One can be earned from surviving 10 battles. There are many other Achievements that can earn these jewels but their purposes are vast. They will allow you to alter aspects of the game, some examples are: character revival, high resale value to merchants, recharge shrines that have been drained of their residual powers, remove negative status effects, and many other effects. The game contains no cheat codes, nothing to research or remember - these jewels are used instead. The more accomplished, the more jewels can be earned.
