Like even if you ‘kill’ one, they just retreat into that gem of theirs. Unless you destroy the rock too, or at least crack it, they’ll just reform again in a new body.
So… imagine if someone swallowed one whole. A person would explode out of another person.
Or if you kept the gem locked up in a tiny box. Would the gem still poof and mutate into something that’d fit the size of that box? Or just instantly die each time and just try and wait it out until someone takes that gem out of the box?
And on another note
Pearl (and Amethyst) seem to be the most prone to ‘death’.
What if they don’t get unlimited poofs? What if gems only have a certain number of ‘lives’ they can have and they’re both running through them all like hot cakes?
What if a gem dies dies, and their rock turns all dull and stoney?
I think if a gem finally dies, their gem would turn to dust.
As for the box one, I think they would just expload the box or be trapped and build their new body around it depending on the material like White Diamond and the pyramid temple or Lapis and the mirror
