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.

The Sublimation of Water into Fire x 1

Rank 8 Alchemy
This potion is the colour of a blue flame and is contained in a fragile glass bottle for quick use. It weighs 4oz.
When drunk, the imbiber's body is transformed into an explosive ball of fire inflicting 4 roll up D10 damage on everything in the same hex, minus 10 for every 5 feet distant. The imbiber will find themselves transformed into smoke covering the volume of a megahex and may be behave as if Gaseous Form has been cast on them (at the creator's Rank in Alchemy). They will smell strongly of burning wherever they drift.

Water Curse x 1

This phial weighs 2 oz and looks especially innocuous.
If it is odourless, tasteless and easily insinuated into food or water. Whoever partakes of it will become a great deal more casual and generally unsuspicious. This will make it hard for them to be alert for things like (but not limited to) attempts to poison food and so on.
Whenever there is a chance that they might become alert to a possible threat, they will automatically fail the die roll. This does not prevent them from noticing obvious threats like a green and smelly discharge on food, etc, where, perhaps, no die roll would normally be required.
If the water curse is fed to someone who actually is paranoid, it will cure them of that affliction

Weapons

Crimson

Crimson is an axe head of a strange crimson metal who weighs 2 lbs, requires 14 PS and 14 MD to wield. It has a base Strike Chance of 67, nflicts 2 rollup D10 damage and is treated as a battle axe with respect to Ranking. It may only be wielded 1-handed, although the wielder is entitled to deliver multi-hex strikes at the usual penalty.. In addition, it does not attract range penalties when it is thrown, and returns to the wielder the following Pulse.
It may only be wielded by the wearer of the Beckoning Gauntlet, which will manifest an unseeable spectral haft that can only bee seen by those who know the Spectral Weapon or Spectral Warrior spells at Rank 16 or higher. Preparing this weapon is a Free Act so long as Crimson is attached to a belt or other obvious strap on the wielder's armour.
It does not conduct drain, so any attack with this weapon does not expose the wielder to further drain attacks.
Bonus damage as a function of great strength may be applied in addition to other bonuses without risk of breaking the weapon, and is stackable with bonuses from Skill and weapon spells.

Beckoning Gauntlet

This is a mail gauntlet for the right hand made of truesilvered orichalcum and weighs 1 ½ lbs and is sized for an elf or similar. It has five fingers and one thumb. All are functional.

  • The wielder's PS and MD are raised by 6 for the right hand only.
  • As a cestus, the base Strike Chance is 67%. It inflicts D10 + 4 damage but if a non-prime number is rolled on the damage die, it is doubled. The gauntlet inflicts C Class wounds, but if the Specific Grievous Injury check falls on a number fully divisible by 11 (i.e. 11, 22...99), the gauntlet has plunged through the chest of their opponent and ripped out their beating heart. This is usually fatal.
  • Damage that specifically attacks the right wrist or hand is always reduced by 6 points or the value of the wearer's other armour, whichever is greater. In addition, the wearer may Break 100 + 3 x MD to avoid the effects of a Specific Grievous Injury to the right hand or wrist.

If, by reason of curse, birth defect or witch mark, the wearer actually has six digits on their right hand, then three other special abilities become available to them.

  • The wearer may see and interact with Phantasms, Spectral Warriors or Nightmares that are in their line of sight so long as they Break 100 + MD + PC + MA + Rank in Cestus.
  • The wearer may Beckon forth a phantasm which is not inconvenienced by counterspells and acts on their Engaged Initial Value which will travel at TMR 13 to a target and permanently reduce their EN value by D10 - 4, minimum 1 and then dissipate. The phantasm may not be Beckoned forth again until midnight has struck.
  • The phantasm may be used to visit a pall of despair upon a population within sight up to the size of a small town which will reduce the inhabitant's WP & EN value by D10 - 4, minimum of 1. This loss will recover at a rate of 1 every 3 days, Once used, this abilitiy is lost until the living heart of a sentient is burnt on the palm of the gauntlet.
A distant bell will toll on these occasions.

Throwing Daggers x 6

These hardened silver daggers weigh 4 oz, require 7 PS and 10 MD to wield but are too light to wield in melee or close. The base Strike Chance is 57% and the base Damage is 1 rollup D10 + 1.
Three of them may be thrown in a single Pulse and have a range of 12 hexes. The magic of the daggers allows their damage to accumulate on a target so that Protection, Damage Reduction or EN Armour only count once. Thus, if all three are thrown at a single target and achieve Blows to FT, then the damage of each dagger is summed and applied to the target thus: 3 rollup D10 (+3 if Ranked below 4, +6 if Ranked 4 - 7, +9 if Ranked 8 or higher).
If any one of the darts inflicts a blow directly to EN, then it is as if they all do, if one inflicts a Possible Specific Grievous, then it is they all do. If several Specific Grievous Injuries are rolled, then each is rolled for but the wielder may only apply 1 such injury (i.e. if the wielder scores 2 Specific Grievous injuries, 04 and 18, they may only choose a bleeder in the target's primary arm or a wound to the solid viscera, but not both).
If the Nature of Magic or Plane of Origin of these blades is detected, then the bearer may find themselves invited to a witch burning as the guest of honour.

Imp Dagger

This hardened silver dagger weighs 10 oz, require 7 PS and 10 MD to wield but the hilt is a spiral groove carved into onyx, set with a large, red carbuncle on the pommel and may only be wielded with a thin, prehensile tail or tentacle. The base Strike Chance is 57% and the base Damage is D10 + 1.
The weapon may be further enchanted with a weapon spell, with bonuses from PS, Rank in Dagger and Rank in Assassin all stacking. Rank in Warrior, however, is always ignored. If the blade is envenomed, the base Damage becomes 1 rollup D10 + 1.
The wielder may deliver an attack with the dagger using a Free Act into their rear or front hex without penalty.
If the Nature of Magic or Plane of Origin of these blades is detected, then the bearer may find themselves invited to a witch burning as the guest of honour.
