Well, the difference between a pendant you can hide underneath your shirt and a rather large, heavy gold chain in respect to the amount of attention you gather is rather more than Vlad desires. That brings up the question; in respect to the 'magic armor/weapons nonexistent' in Dragaera that I brought up, would Phoenix stone armor be considered useful? Especially gold phoenix stone. (An aside: gmail seems to prefer overly long horizontal lines compared to most of your emails. Is there some way I can adjust how far they go before heading to the next line? I dislike doing it manually because I am lazy. I think some of my emails may be cut off.)
