Just found this amazing gem of a page from Jan 15, 2001

GENERAL NOTES ON IMBUED ARMOR:
These are for race specific smithing recipes. The needed spells are available in the shaman or cleric guilds of the home cities of each race. Each race has a limited number of deities worshipped, and the spells for these deities alone are sold. The gem used with the spell and for the armor is specific for a deity, and will define who can wear the armor. It is not clear if gems other than the deities of the home city can be used. There is no discussion of this on any boards, and all imbued recipe lists include only the deities of the home city of the smith. Agnostics cannot wear imbued armor. All this is easy to forget.

No comment on deity restrictions for casting the spell.

Using Imbue spells: The jewel is picked up with the cursor, and then the spell is clicked on with the cursor.

^ usage notes - currently on p99 you do not need to pick up the gem before casting

Imbued ivory: vendor sells for 9pp when they have been sold it, otherwise cost is time camping ivory and payment of shaman. The spell is not expensive, available in shaman guild in Halas. You take plain ivory, hold one on cursor, and click on spell. It is transformed to imbued ivory.
Imbued jade: from gem dealers, closest one to Halas is the Gembox at Iron Forge Estates, North Qeynos, 4 pp, get shaman to imbue it for you.

^ No mention of what a shaman has to worship.
Side note: Northman imbued armor comes with a jade variety for Rallos Zek...???!! I didn't know that!
I also attempted to imbue a diamond on my cleric and succeeded. The deity restrictions are only on the scrolls on live. I just can't find the time this was fixed. My cleric was made August 24, 2001, 19:15:20 (and knowing how slow I level, it would have taken me a long time to reach 29 as well as acquire these three spells), so
there were no deity restrictions during most of Velious, despite what that post from July 2001 I dug up said.

(Yes, diamonds are so plentiful on live that people just sell them to vendors. Regular plains pebbles, on the other hand, I was unable to get.)
(PS: Don't ask me about the muffins. It's just something I do on EQ, okay.)
(PPS: Confession: I love the 'make all' option on the tradeskill containers, even though they're not classic. Muffins for days...mmm...or hot cross buns...well, anyway.)
