Huppudu is the art of using the light of the jewels to blind or stun another with their beauty. There are several ways to do this:

• Focusing light with the jewels
• Improving one's own or another's beauty to a nigh Divine degree
• Fashioning the jewel into a prism, mirror, lantern, or other source of light or reflection
• Exploding the jewels with emotion

Focusing the light with the jewels is a matter of positioning them to catch light and focusing it into a single ray. It takes ten jewels to blind an average human.

Improving beauty requires duqqu or la'u in order to become so beautiful. It takes somewhere between 25 and 40 beauty to blind someone with it.

Using the jewels to make light sources, reflectors, or other light manipulating objects turns those objects into channels of beauty-light which immediately becomes blinding. These objects cannot be used in duqqu or la'u.

Jewels can hold emotion that is channeled into them by a person by simply focusing on the jewel while that emotion is strong within oneself. Too much emotion (around a 30) can cause the jewels to explode. The jewels do not lose emotion funneled into them, so this can be done over time. Once the jewel reaches a 28, it rolls at 25 vs. its emotion score. An exceptional failure causes an explosion.
