* FantasticDrug: Played straight ''and'' PlayedForLaughs. The essences of the Diamonds can be combined and diluted in varying proportions to achieve different effects. Some are practical- Jasper has a blend for temporarily sharpening the senses and increasing awareness, and Steven creates a blend that can keep Sten alive in the event he needs to unfuse. And then there's Peridot, who made a [[CaffeineBulletTime "productivity blend"]] that [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin induces a manic state in Gems before eventually causing their forms to dissipate from stress]].
