Potions

The Consummation of Fire and Water

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.

Jewellery

Fettle

If the bearer takes sufficient damage that they would enter a condition of Stun, they are entitled to an immediate and free Stun Recovery check. If that roll is successful, then they are not Stunned.

Scarab of Protection

This brooch must be worn openly over the heart. It weighs 4 oz, and while it is worn it absorbs the first 3 points of damage per Pulse. While this stacks with similar magic, it is applied after all others have been exhausted. In addition, 10 is subtracted from the die roll when making a Magic Resistance check. If the result of a Magic Resistance check is reduced to 1 or less, the wearer ignores all of the effects of magic, even if secondary effects would normally apply. This effect is personal only and has no effect on the surrounding volume.
The scarab contains 5 charges which may be used to ignore all damage from a single attack, and this requires a Free Act. Once the last charge is used, the scarab crumbles to a greenish dust.

Miscellaneous

Blank Phylactery

This is a scroll that appears to be itemised so as to form a brooch. A spell may be invested in the phylactery at five times the normal cost. From that point on, 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.

Allies

Zygote's Aid

Boris' testicle friend, Zygote, has learnt how to Prepare spells for Boris where the target is "Self". This does not mean that the spell can be Prepared and Cast in the same Pulse, but that while Boris is engaged in some other activity, Zygote can be Preparing the spell on his behalf. In other words, Zygote cannot Prepare such a spell in a Pulse where Boris is executing a Cast, Fire or Strike Action. Nor is it possible when Boris' thighs are thrashing around, like when he's sprinting.
And, he'd just like to point out how hard it is to hear down here, especially in the middle of a fight, and not to put too much of a point on it but it might be a good idea to install some kind of telegraph system. And a periscope.

Special Abilities

Incantations

Spectral Warrior - Spectral Tract

Spell: Spectral Warrior
Range: Rank² x 10 miles (min 10 miles)
Duration: 10 mins x Rank (min 10 mins)
Effects: The Adept summons a gateway to a Bone Circle they know of that is within range The head of a monstrous,scabrous serpent appears and opens its maw 8 feet high and a yard wide. This gateway is fringed with yellowed, cracked fangs and the tongue is a desiccated, withered lump of flesh. It's gaunt body winds in the general direction of the Bone Circle gradually fading away. The Adept must spend a point of FT per Pulse to keep the jaws open. It takes 1 Pulse to swallow 6 sizes of creatures, larger creatures will take longer, obviously. Once the maw snaps shut, the ingested exit in the order they entered, with all but the Adept's FT reduced to 0. There must be space for them to do so, otherwise they and all subsequent ingestee will be instantly returned to their point of origin.
For ease of calculation, the distance is covered at a rate of Rank miles per minute. However, although the travel takes time, the distance is not actually traversed. Nevertheless, the Tract must have an unimpeded path, it cannot pass through barriers which are barred, closed, etc. Nor may it intersect or become adjacent to any ferrous metal.
This incantation may only be cast when the Adept is proximately adjacent to the Astral Plane.
Cost: 3000 Experience.
Constraints: Unracks the spell, reduces FT value by 4.
