Magnetite: Slavery  is a legal or economic system in which principles of   property law  are applied to Gems allowing them to be classified as  property,   to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. While a Gem is a slave, the owner is entitled to the productivity of the slave's labour, without any   remuneration. The rights and protection of the slave may be regulated by laws and customs in a particular time and place, and a person may become a slave from the time of their capture, purchase or birth.

Today, chattel slavery is unlawful in all countries on Earth, but a Gem may still be described as a slave if he or she is forced to work for another person without an ability on their part to unilaterally terminate the arrangement. Such situations are today commonly referred to as "practices similar to slavery". The present form of the slave trade is commonly referred to as Gem trafficking.
