Potions

The Consummation of Fire and Water x 2

This 8oz phial contains a vividly orange/red fluid. When it is thrown at an object or entity it will rapidly spread to cover a surface of about two square metres, large enough to cover a man. This will make the target as flammable as paper to the point where it can be ignited with Pyrogenesis or like magic. A cantrip would be incapable of generating sufficient heat. A lighted match would do just fine, however.
Usually, entities who catch on fire will burn from the legs up, but obviously if other body parts have been exposed to an open flame, they will start burning from the point of contact. It is extremely unusual for the head not to burn last, unless the victim snorts a lighted candle or something.
This is a curious spectacle to observe, the victim experiencing nothing more than an unusual sensation of warmth and perhaps some alarm. It takes about two pulses for the legs to burn off, about two pulses for the arms, and another three pulses for the torso. Their head will burn up at the end of the pulse. Until that time, the victim can move, attack, cast spells and so on. If the Consummation is somehow stopped short of death, then the victim's body will gradually reappear over a like number of pulses. Items that were subject to the Consummation, i.e. those that were worn on the parts burnt off, have a good chance of being destroyed. They are considered to be made of paper and must save versus normal fire. The chance of the item surviviving is 10% plus any magical bonus inherent to the item, plus the value of the wearer's enchantment. Only items made of orichalcum or those that are bound to the victim's soul are immune to this destruction.
Since the residue of the Consummation does not constitute a torso-sized lump, then dying by this method is likely to be permanent barring unusual defenses of some kind.
If the fluid is applied to an inanimate surface it will quickly spread over an area that would be easily big enough to fit a man. If this area is lighted it will burn for 4 pulses before guttering, burning through

• ¼ inch of metal or stone per pulse.
• 1 inch of material like wood or bone per pulse.
• 1 foot of ice per pulse.

It will not burn through orichalcum.

If the ash and smoke are collected, dissolved into a solution, and all of the corruption filtered from it (requiring an Alchemist of Rank 8 or better), abstract properties may be decanted off (at the G.M.'s discretion). The Alchemist might collect Wood from the remains of a door, for example.

Weapons

A Sea Green Walking Stick of Fashion

This translucent glass walking stick is the colour of a storm-tossed sea and weighs 1 lb. It is about four feet long, half an inch in diameter and may be wielded 1 or 2-handed. It is Ranked as a Quarterstaff at the same time as other weapon or Professional Skills or magic. The stick inflicts 1 rollup D10 + 4 C Class damage, but bonuses from PS and weapon Rank do not increase damage, and it does not accept weapon spells.
Once a bonding cost of 1 EN has been paid, the staff has these functions:

• The wielder increases their Defence by 2 (+2 per Rank in quarterstaff). This will not stack with Defence from other weapons or shields.
• The wielder reduces damage by 1 at Rank 4 in quarterstaff and by another 2 at Rank 8 (thus reducing damage by 3). This applies to all incoming damage, but excludes damage caused by curses, poison, disease, Putrid Wound, Disruption, Necrosis, Hand of Death or the like.
• The wielder subtracts their Rank in quarterstaff from the die roll when making MR check
• The counterspells of one extra college may be cast on the staff, to the benefit of the wielder.
• The stick modifies

the Mage Current spell so that it is durational although it may be ended with a Free Act.

the Storm Calling spell so that the FT cost and onset time are halved

• Certain spells may be invested in the staff at half the normal cost, each charge taking 8 hours to store. Only 20 spells may be invested in the staff, but any combination is allowed. The following spells or types of magic are allowed:

Counterspells	Walking Unseen	Conjuring Mist	Scry Shield
Wall of Thorns	Lightning	Telekinesis	Fireball
True Seeing	Flash of Light	Air Blast	Witchsight

• The wielder releases the spells stored by using a Cast Action. They are not Triggered.

Weapon spells may be cast upon the stick but do not provide any benefit except that a Spectral Weapon will allow it to strike insubstantial creatures, etc.

Miscellaneous

Cyprian Mirror of Seeming

This gilded frame is 100 cms high x 70 cms across and weighs 35lbs. If water is Bound onto its surface it will serve as a mirror.
To activate the mirror's special function, 1 point of EN must be sacrificed to it (which may be bought back in the usual way). From then on, once per season, the Adept can Purify while gazing into the mirror to store spells of the Colleges of Illusions (with the exception of Audile Illusion). General Knowledge spells count as 1, while Special Knowledge spells count as 2, the total number not to exceed their free MA. The Rank of the General Knowledge spells are the same as their General Knowledge Counterspell, the Rank of the Special Knowledge spells are the same as their Special Knowledge Counterspell.
Once each spell is successfully Cast, it is lost and may not be recovered until the Adept Purifies while contemplating the mirror after the next Equinox or Solstice.

Phylactery of Divining Enchantment

This is a scroll that appears to be itemised so as to form a brooch. The Caster of Bones has invested his Divination spell in the phylactery. The phylactery can be read as a scroll (taking two full pulses), but instead of being used up, the spell will become reinvested on the following dawn.
The cast chance of the invested spell is the Base Chance plus three times the Rank. * Bonuses from Enchantment and College modifiers are only applied when the cast check is made, the investor's Enchantment or situational modifiers have no effect. No bonus (or penalty) for Magical Aptitude is ever considered.
If the roll of the Cast Check should ever fall on a number fully divisible by 10 (e.g. 10, 20, 30, etc), then whoever is reading the phylactery must resist versus a Backfire, or the phylactery will be destroyed. If that number would be a success, then the spell is cast even if the MR versus Backfire fails destroying the phylactery.

Cast Chance: 64%+* Range: 13' Duration: Immediate Rank: 8 Effects: As per Runes of Sight: Divining Enchantment.

Lore

Plans for a House of Life

This building contains a resurrection chambers. Although those who are Death-aspected can build such a chamber, they may never return to life by means of one, their spirit being drawn off to the Valley of Death.
The House itself is octagonal in shape, and must have a diameter equal to 10 feet per chamber and cost 500sp per ft of radius. It will take two weeks per chamber to construct. The time to build the House is reduced by one week per Rank of the most advanced Artisan: Mason and one week per Rank of the most advanced Artisan: Carpenter. The minimum time may be no less than a month.

Each chamber must be built by the hand of the intended user, and no particular Skill is required, the process happening magically to some degree (although still requiring the time and hard work of the user). It will take a month to build the chamber itself and cost 10,000sp in materials. Counter-intuitively, the more money spent on the appointments of the chamber, the faster it will be built. If an extra 1,000sp is spent on decorating it, the chamber will be completed in one less day. The time taken, however, can never be less than a week, although, of course, it can be made ever more beautiful.
Once completed, then the user may prepare the chamber to receive their spirit and regenerate their form should they be so unfortunate as to require it. The following conditions apply:

• The user must sacrifice 3 EN to the chamber. Once sacrificed, the EN are converted to points of their Aspect (the most unusual part, otherwise it will be the Element part).
• Subsequently, if they die, then their spirit will travel back to the House of Life, resurrecting uninjured a year and a day later unless they are resurrected earlier by other means.
• Obviously, the resurrectee's itemry will be lost unless other means supervene.
• In the event that the resurrectee has succumbed to a Dark Sphere (not a Light Sphere), then a number between 1 and 10 is nominated by the player, and a D10 is rolled. If the number is equal to a 1, 2, 3 or the one nominated, then they will be resurrected. Otherwise not.
• The place of death must be proximate to a plane that is proximate to a plane that is proximate to the location of the House of Life for the spirit to be able to find its way to the resurrection chamber.

For example

if the resurrectee dies on Tanuel, which is adjacent to the Astral, which is adjacent to the Abyss, which is adjacent to Alusia, then they are close enough to resurrect.

If this special resurrection is used, the House of Life and the chamber itself remains. However, until 1 EN is sacrificed it is simply magical architecture.

Note

Upon Resurrection, a point of EN is not lost, since the House will not work unless it is charged with the appropriate life energy (1 EN).

Medusine Eye

Range: 30 feet
A woman who has agreed to protect girls as the priestess, Medusa, served Athena, may see the sins of men against maidens. Men who murder or rape them will be revealed as the blackest sinners, while those who beat them will clearly have sinned seriously, and those who have preyed upon their innocence will vary from serious to minor in the judgement of the DM. This does not take into consideration any extenuating circumstances, and context is ignored. If the maiden is a psychotic, high-ranked Assassin, bent on the destruction of anyone wearing plaid, the eye only sees the sin, it cannot make this finer distinction.
A small snake with black and virulent green stripes can lunge from the right eye as a Free Act. Any man within 4 hexes, who meets the woman's eye when the snake manifests must Break 100 -> 2 x WP or roll on the Fright Table.The snake may strike when in close and benefits from the woman's Unarmed Combat Rank. This requires but a Reflex Action and does not count as an Action or Free Act. However, only 1 Reflex Action is allowed per Pulse, so any others that the wearer may have access to become unavailable until the next Pulse. All other things being equal, the snake always attacks first in the Pulse, inflicts 1 D10 penetration damage, and if this would penetrate armour, inflicts 3 DP per Pulse for D10 Pulses Over that period, the victim also suffers a 30 point penalty to Strike Chances and Defence, but not Magic Resistance.

This incantation is not teachable.

Dehydrate - Drain

Constraints: Unracks the spell, reduces FT value by 2.
This incantation is not teachable.

This incantation is not teachable.

Rainstorm - Lightning Storm

Duration: Immediate (during Pulse)
Effects: A storm cloud appears above the ground within range of the Adept. rapidly expanding to the full Area of Effect, every hex being assailed by a stroke of Lightning.

Any who Resist entirely ignore these effects, but they must add the Rank of the spell to the result of their Magic Resistance check, making it harder.
Cost: 750 Experience.

This incantation is not teachable.

Rainstorm - Acid Rain

Uses: 1 (+ 1 per 3 or Fraction Ranks)
Materiel: 7 Iris blooms
Effects: This incantation of the Water Creation spell creates a screen 5 contiguous hex facings long and 9 feet high which is made out of iridescent bubbles. These do not impair vision on either side with respect to Melee attacks, although Extended and Ranged attacks suffer a penalty equal to the Rank of the spell. It may be Cast without Preparation since it is a Reflex Action and does not count as an Action or Free Act. However, only 1 Reflex Action is allowed per Pulse, so any others that the wearer may have access to become unavailable until the next Pulse.
Each hex facing of the screen will absorb 1 point of Spell Damage per Rank before being ablated entirely away. Until it is worn down, 1 per Rank, minimum 1 is subtracted from the Magic Resistance check versus spell (to their benefit) of anyone sheltered by the screen.
The Adept may redeploy the screen, also as a Reflex Action, and if they choose to focus it on a single entity, it will travel with them but they must stay within the Adept's range. In any case, it will only cover a quarter dome (i.e. it will be a curving wall that will cover their front facing from the ground to just above their head. This will not work for multi-hex creatures).
Cost: 750 Experience.
Constraints: Unracks the spell, reduces FT value by 1.
This incantation is not teachable.
