<Raising the Level of an Animate>

<If a gem is used for the animation process it will raise the level of the animated creature by +1 for every 400 value of the gem used, maxed at the caster's MAL. This will include the appropriate combat stats for the creature. The gem must be held in hand when casting to obtain this benefit, though the spell can be cast without a gem if desired.>

Just to confirm, this would not have to be an orb gem and any gem will do?
