;[[Charms#Demonskin_Charm|Demonskin Charm]] x 3
Damage is halved (rounding down) for each hex from the centre of the explosion.
[[Image:Demon_skin.jpg|right|120px]]
This scrap of parchment weighs ¼ lb and contains three charges of the The Demonskin Charm.  It does not need to be read out, in fact the phrase must be memorised and uttered once a Pulse for 3 Pulses. This will require a Free Act. The parchment itself might be kept in the owner's backpack, or even at home and it may not be uttered again until after the next dawn.<br>
When the charm is spoken aloud for the third time, the number of charges is reduced by 1 wherever they are. The phrase must be spoken by the character's player in a clear voice without hesitation, stumbling or unnecessary pause. The phrase is:<br>
'That is not dead which can eternal lie'<br>
This is a Free Act but cannot be combined with a Cast Action. If it succeeds, the utterer's armour and damage reduction (except for his Natural Armour) fades away. At the same time, his skin (but not his hair) turns black for the duration of the charm, which is 6 Pulses.<br>
While under the charm's effects, the utterer cannot suffer Specific Grievous Injuries, nor may their head and limbs be torn off by creatures with enormous strength.<br>
Damage is not subtracted, however a square root function of each discrete source of damage is taken instead. This means that if 5-9 damage was taken, 3 would be inflicted, from 10-16 damage, 4 inflicted, or from 82-100, 10.


== Weapons ==
== Potions ==
=== Ticker Sticker ===
This slender, needle-like dagger, weighs 7 oz, has an Individual True Name and may be worn in the hair by a woman without attracting particular attention. She has a base Strike Chance of 53%, inflicts D10 + 3 A Class thrusting damage and is not balanced for throwing.<br>
If a possible Specific Grievous injury is generated, 2D10 are rolled and summed. If the result is 11, then it is applied. If it is not, then the percentile result is taken, reading the dice to the wielder's advantage. <br>
;Example
:The wielder has rolled a possible Specific Grievous injury, then rolls 2D10, getting a 1 and a 2 which sums to three not eleven, so instead, the result is read as twelve (not twenty-one) and applied.


=== Ascalon ===
=== Yellow Potion of Health ===
This spear is made of a blade attached to an ebon haft. The Individual True Name of the blade is Ascalon, and it is under the effects of a permanent Rank 20 Weapon of Cold which may be triggered once a day (Base Chance 88%, +21  to Strike Chance, +6 cold damage for 25 minutes. This ability resets at the Hour of the Wolf, each day.<br>
This potion weighs 4 oz and need not be Prepared before it can be used if it is attached to a convenient belt or strap. The potion will break if the DM decides that the owner may have unsuccessfully avoided a powerful blow, and a percentile roll to avoid destruction exceeds 70.<br>
As a Free Act it may be converted to either a lance, broadsword or spear. The base Strike Chance is 67%, the lance inflicting A Class injuries, whereas the broadsword inflicts B Class injuries and the spear inflicts either A or C Class injuries. Base damage is 1 rollup D10 + 6, rising to 3 rollup D10 + 6 when wielded against a dragon, drake, wyvern or other dracoform (but not serpents or lizards). Those entites against which it inflicts greater damage will know that it is a dragonbane weapon once they see it.<br>
This potion can only be used once in a 5 second period of time, cures 2 rollup D10 points of damage, does not require a Pass Action, and in fact can only be taken during the Military Scientist Time Out phase. If there is no Military Scientist to provide a Time Out, the potion does nothing.
If the wielder  is human, then
* the wielder's Rank in broadsword, spear and lance are cumulative
* the spear inflicts A or C Class injuries
* the wielder reduces any fire damage by their Rank in Warrior
* the wielder increases their Magic Resistance versus magic cast by dragons by their Rank in Warrior


=== The Closer of Ways ===
=== Pot of Flesh x 2 ===
[[Image:Khopesh.jpg|right|60px]]
[[Image:Flesh_pot.jpg|right|80px]]
This bronze khopesh weighs 6 lbs. The base Strike Chance is 79 and the Damage  is 2 rollup D10 + 2. It is treated as a hand and a half and it may not be broken as a result of over-strengthing. .<br>
This pot contains a pinkish, oozing mass and weighs 4 oz.<br>
When this weapon is wielded, no magic that Teleports, Banishes, Summons, Gates, Calls or Sends may depart from or terminate in its megahex. This will affect a Rune Portal while it is within the khopesh's area of effect.
When it's contents are applied to a wounded entity, up to 3 Specific Grievous Injuries will be cured. If there is only one such injury, it will be cured at the end of the next Pulse. If there are three, then none of them will be cured until the end of the third Pulse after the mass has been applied. <br>
No particular Skill is required to place the mass, it will slither around the target's body and infiltrate the wounds.<br>
In addition, D10+5 EN damage is cured.


=== Heresiarch ===
=== Staunch Potion of Healing ===
This morningstar flail has an Individual True Name, weighs 6lbs and has three heads, made from the shattered remains of a bronze aspergillum. It has a base Strike Chance of 71%, inflicts 2 rollup D10 + 3 C Class damage. It ignores the Defence benefit of shields.<br>
This phial weighs 4 oz and may be taken without Preparing if it is attached to a belt or bandolier, etc. If the bearer is struck for a massive blow or a Specific Grievous Injury to any part of the torso (including shoulders and hips), then they must roll 30 or less on percentile or be shattered. The potion heals 40 damage and renders the drinker immune to damage for the rest of that Pulse and the next.
The Strike Chance is increased by 1 per Rank of the ITN.<br>
In the event that the wielder inflicts a possible Specific Grievous Injury, three D10 are rolled, any that are 7, 8 or 9 are recorded, and a "1"s D10 rolled for each. These are applied as Specific Grievous Injuries.


=== Vengeance ===
===Potion of Relief===
This heater shield weighs 5 lbs, peanlises MD by 2 and provides 5 Defence per Rank.<br>
This robust phial weighs 7 oz and must be Prepared before it can be used. It contains a potion the colour of headaches and tastes like an overcast morning. Once it has been drunk, an amputated, boneless finger or protuberance will be regrown in a minute
Once a day, the wielder's Defence may be improved by the Rank of its Individual True Name which will last for 30 minutes (+30 minutes per Rank), so long as 3 points of FT are spent. This will not stack with Defence spells.<br>
If the wielder takes damage from a denizen of the Seventh Plane (a diabolic entity), then this is recorded as a Grudge Pool. This damage can be added to a successful melee blow against a denizen of the Seventh Plane (a diabolic entity) at a rate of 1 extra point of damage per Rank in Shield.<br>
If the shield successfully delivers a Shield Charge, then the minimum of the contents of the Grudge Pool or 2 roll up D10, whichever is least, is added to the damage.<br>
The contents of the Grudge Pool dissipate at dawn on the next equinox or solstice.


=== Grimstrike ===
=== The Suspension of Fire upon Water Rk 14 x 2 ===
[[Image:Gauntlet left.JPG |right|120px]]
This phial is robust, weighs quarter of an oz and must be Prepared before it can be used. The oil inside is vividly orange/red in colour. The oil may be poured:
This is a plate gauntlet for the left hand made of truesilvered orichalcum and weighs 1 ½ lbs. It has five fingers and one thumb. All are functional.<br>
* onto the surface of about a pint of water and it will produce a view of a place they know that is within 5 miles + 15 miles per Rank in Alchemy which will last for a minute.
The Individual True Name of this gauntlet is Grimstrike, and it has no Generic True Name. Once a day, resetting at dawn, it is a legal target for the Compelling Obedience spell.  
* into the right eye so that any visual obscurement, illusion or deception will be penetrated. This effect will last for a minute.
* While the spell is active on Grimstrike, then the wielder  may perform one additional Pass Action per Pulse that they could reasonably execute with that hand (and the arm associated with it). As long as duration and Pass Actions remain, these can be executed according to Rank in the Individual True Name:
* into the left eye so that the emotions or spiritual state of an entity can be observed. This may reveal curses, geasa, afflictions of the soul and other obligations (i.e. pacts, bloodthirst, etc). This effect will last for a minute.
{| border = 1 cellspacing = 2|
Whenever the oil is used, a D10 is rolled. If the result is less than the Alchemist's Rank, then it works perfectly. Otherwise, the thing it is poured onto catches on fire and is burnt up within a pulse. Losing an eye reduces MD by 1, PB by 2 and PC by 4.

=== The Consummation of Fire and Water x 2 ===
This phial is robust, weighs quarter of an oz and must be Prepared before it can be used. The fluid is vividly orange/red in colour. When the phial 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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
1 inch of material like wood or bone per pulse.<br>
1 foot of ice per pulse.<br>
It will not burn through orichalcum.<br>
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.<br>

=== Slap x 2 ===
[[Image: Greenpotion.jpg|left|65px]]
This bottle is sturdy and, if it is on a belt or otherwise easily accessible, requires but a Free Action to use. Otherwise, the DM must determine how many Prepare Actions must be spent before it can be used. It encumbers as if it weighed 4 oz.<br>
When the seal is broken beneath someone's nose, they automatically and immediately recover from being Stunned or waken from any effect (magical or otherwise) that causes them to sleep or lose consciousness, except that caused by a Major Curse. This includes Enchanted Sleep, Hypnotism, Mental Attack, Hibernation, Petit Mort, Knockout Gas, Backfire effects and similar magic.<br>
It does not rouse the dead.

=== Phial of Poison Inversion ===
This small phial weighs 3 oz and is as long as a man's index finger. So long as it is worn outside of clothing, it need not be Prepared to use. If the DM deems that harm to the bearer may have broken the phial, it will survive on an unmodified Base Chance of 70%.<br>
When it is taken, the effects of the last poison to effect the imbiber are inverted - Damage is subtracted instead of added, stats are increased rather than decreased, and in general the opposite effect applies than the one intended. However, no more may be added than is subtracted, regardless of the method used to calculate it.<br>
The effects of this potion last for 24 Pulses, at which time both it and the poison inverted will be burnt from the their system.

== Poisons ==
 
=== Bullet Venom x 3 ===
This robust phial weighs 3 oz. Its contents must be Prepared before anointing a lead bullet. The effect of this venom is to cause the bullet to splinter on contact with blood, inflicting D10 damage per Pulse for 3 Pulses. This will stack with other envenomed bullets and is independent of any other damage the bullet may do.<br>
Unless handled by someone who is bleeding, the venom may be anointed by anyone without requiring an MD check, not just Assassins.

* The wielder's PS and MD are raised by 6 for the left hand only.
== Invested Gems ==
* As a cestus,  the base Strike Chance is 67%. It inflicts 1 rollup D10 + 4 damage but if a non-prime number is rolled on the damage die, damage 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. Usually fatal.  
=== Raygun of Cold ===
* Damage that specifically attacks the left 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 + 2 x MD to avoid the effects of a Specific Grievous Injury to the left hand or wrist.
This long, staff-like weapon weighs 3 lbs and has a Base Chance of 60% + the wielder's MA of shooting out a blue-white ray of cold that will inflict D + 15 damage on the first object or entity that intersects its path. A Strike Check in the range of a blow directly to EN inflict double damage, ones in the range of a possible Specific Grievous Injury inflict triple damage.<br>
If, by reason of curse, birth defect or witch mark, the wearer actually has six digits on their left hand, then two other special abilities become available to them.  
The target's Defense is never consulted, although entities are entitled to a Magic Resistance check, which will halve their damage.<br>
* The gauntlet is a legal target for an extra set of Counterspells.
It can fire 3 such rays before becoming depleted, however, when each ray fires, a bulb of liquid, super-cooled ice is created on the stock.<br>
* The wearer may choose to inflict a possible Specific Grievous injury, after having rolled a Strike Check result that is fully divisible by 11. In this case, the result is always "Your gauntlet has driven through your opponent's chest and ripped out their beating heart." Once used, this abilitiy is lost until the living heart of a sentient is burnt on the palm of the gauntlet.<br>
The weapon can be swung like a light war hammer or military pick at the wielder's discretion. It has a base Strike Chance of 55% and the DM is D10 + 1. If a bulb of super cold liquid ice has formed, then the weapon inflicts D100 cold damage + a possible Specific Grievous Injury, any result applying, as the bulb ruptures and eplosively forms spikes of solid ice.<br>

=== Gorgon Feathers x 35 ===
= Metals =
These feathers may be woven into mail or plate armour to fortify it against blows directly to EN. This will require the arts of a Thaumaturge and an Artisan: Weaver of Rank 4 or better, who may be the same person. <br>
One feather is required to fortify by 1, then two more for a second point, then four more for a third point, doubling each time for each bonus. Armour may be fortified to no more than half its base Protection value. Each feather weighs 3 oz.


=== Fur Cloak of Protection ===
=== Itemisable Octohedrite ===
The fur of this cloak is black shot with silver and weighs 5lbs. It has the following properties:
5 lbs of octohedrite blade blanks, which may be made into any weapon with a straight edge or point. The damage is base DM + 1, plus any bonuses from Weaponsmith. <br>
* the first 12 Damage Points the wearer receives are ignored each Pulse. This ability resets at the beginning of the next Pulse. This does not apply to damage caused by poison, disease, Disruption, Putrid Wound, Hand of Death, Necrosis, Torment or similar magic.
Octahedrite has its own Magical Resistance of 70%. If it succeeds in a MR Check against a particular magic, it will always resist it afterwards. If it fails, it will always fail. A record must be kept of which magic it will resist or fail against.<br>
* the wearer subtracts 12 from the result of their Magic Resistance check. This does not increase Magic Resistance.
It may be made into weapons that are a bane to the Hounds of Tyndallos, who may not bend space to avoid an attack, and whose Defence will only be their Agility, unless they have been enchanted in some other way. <br>
* the wearer increases their Defence by 12.
Such weapons must be straight, curved or weapons with angles less than 120 degrees may still be avoided by them.
* the Rank of a Resist Cold spell is increased by 3 when the wearer is the target.


=== Scaled Ephod ===
=== Barbed Mithril ===
This garment is like a tabard, and weighs 10 oz. If it is worn over mail or plate, it provides 1 point of Damage Reduction, which applies to all incoming damage. <br>
1 lb of barbed mithril
Once a day, requiring a Pass Action, the wearer may transform into a mundane scaled creature that they have encountered. The transformation may be ended by also taking a Pass Action. This ability resets at noon.


=== Jewellery ===
=== Barbed Ithildin ===
==== Scarab Ring ====
1 lb of barbed ithildin
This bronze band has a casting of a small beetle with blue enameled wing cases, and weighs 1 10<sup>th</sup> of an ounce. It must be worn on the middle finger of the right hand for its magic to be effective.<br>
While it is worn, the bearer improves their chance of attracting luck by 5 and their luck pool by 3.


== Lore ==
= Balrog Bits =


=== The Furnace of Righteousness ===
=== Balrog Tail ===
A bronze oven has somehow been embedded into Logan-Kai's abdomen. If he knows how, he may burn Sin shrived from someone who has truly repented of it. From this Repentance, he may craft Sweet Regret, Hope or possibly even Remorse.
The cord from the balrog's tail may be extracted to make a whip which extends out fifteen feet and weighs 3 lbs.<br>
The base Strike Chance is 47%, base Damage is 2 rollup D10. If the Strike Check result is a prime '''and''' a successful Strike, the whip cracks for an extra rollup D10 damage.<br>
The hand wielding the whip has its MD increased by 16 and the wielder may extend their sense of touch down its length.<br>
Bonuses to PS do not increase the damage of this weapon.


=== Wind of Heaven ===
=== Balrog Scale ===
This attack requires the performance of a precise, complicated Warrior Form as they Purify at the same tiime holding the Windwhistle spell in mind. This will reduce the Cast Chance of the ritual by 70. This can be increased at a rate of +3 per Rank in Windwhistle. <br>
The cracked and friable hide of this balrog has formed into irregular but horn-like scales. Each is about 2 centimetres thick, are vaguely half-moon shaped, and vary in size from 1 foot by 18 inches to 2 feet by 3.<br>
If the Form is successfully completed, then until the Ritual expires or they attempt they Purify again, they may exchange a Multi-Hex Strike, Demon Smile or similar technique for a Wiind of Heaven attack. <br>
They may be made into bucklers, small round or large round shields of the following properties:
Wind of Heaven draws upon the energies of the Firmament, merging with either the A or B Class properties of the weapon held in the primary hand, inflicting a whirlng storm of sharpness damage. Percentile dice are rolled to determine damage and speed of the wind:

=== Balrog Teeth x 1 ===
These teeth are very hard, and each one weighs half a pound.<br>
They may be thrown to the ground and crushed under heel. This has a chance of 83%, which may double, triple, or backfire. The following Pulse, a Rank 20 Wall of Fire will spring up centred on the crushed tooth, but having the proportions that the user wishes as outlined by the spell (Section 21.6 S-13).

= Weapons =
 
===Pale Crossbow===
This heavy crossbow is made out of the bones of some creature of the earthen deep, weighs 3lbs and is the colour of ash. The base Strike Chance is 67% and base Damage is 2 rollup D10. If the wielder's PS is 40 or more, they may Prepare the weapon with a Free Act, but at a penalty of 20 to Strike Chance.
 
= Armour =
===Spectral Cape===
This cape is light grey in colour and appears to be made from woven shadows. It weighs 11 oz and is a legal target for the Spectral Hand spell, in which case the Adept creates a second primary hand (and arm) which emerges from their upper back. This grey but corporeal limb has the same PS and MD as the Adept's normal primary limb but, obviously, does not benefit from itemry unless subsequently adorned. It lasts for 15 minutes and may be used as a primary hand / arm. The Adept may deliver a dual attack with this limb as if it were another primary arm / hand. At Rank 10, the limb may deliver an attack as a Free Act and as a Reflex Action when the spell is Rank 20. The arm / hand may not deliver more than 1 attack a Pulse.<br>
The arm/hand is not obvious until called upon but its emergence from the Adept's back is not at all calming and will force a Fear check (3 * WP) on people whose WP value is less than 12.
 
===Void Robes of the Qalamari===
These robes are the colour of migraines and nausea. They weigh 2 lbs, provide 5 points of Protection, 7 Spell Armour and may not worn with other armour. The wearer's Magic Resistance to Annihilation or Dark Sphere contact is increased by 10. <br>
If the wearer sleeps in these robes, their dreams are visited by images of twisted things from beyond the void so the first four hours of sleep return no FT. However, in this circumstance, there is a flat 7% chance that they may learn something of the void upon waking, at the DM's whim.
 
= Miscellaneous =
 
== Fabergé Eggs ==
 
=== Egg Timer ===
[[Image: EggTimer.jpg|right|100px]]
This Fabergé egg is red with a green, enameled ribbon motif around it. It is 8 cms long and weighs 10 oz.<br>
Once a season, it can be opened as a Free Act and there is a 30% chance it will give the bearer and his allies an extra Pulse. This may be attempted each Pulse until the extra Pulse has been delivered, whereupon the egg may not be opened again until the next equinox or solstice, whichever comes first.

= Jewellery =
== Rings ==
===Barbed Ring===
This ring weighs 1 oz and may only be worn on a finger or similar protuberance that does not contain a bone.
On the bearer's Initiative, but requiring no Action, the bearer may increase the protuberance to 24 inches in length and tipped with a vicious barb. This may be used to deliver an Unarmed Combat attack with the usual Strike Chance, but the base Damage increases to 1 rollup D10  + 3. If used to parry successfully or if successfully parried, the bearer must Break 100 + 2 x MD to avoid having the protuberance amputated.
 
===Ring of Angles===
This ring is made from a matte black inert substance vaguely similar to fulminite and encumbers as if it weighed 4 oz. The outside of the ring is smooth, the inside shaped like a regular polygon with 36 sides.<br>
When it is worn on the middle finger of the left hand for 7 days, Thursday to Thursday, the bearer is considered to be void of any curves, and the hex they are standing in contains no angle more acute than 170°. <br>
On the occasion of the next full moon, the bearer must Break 100 -> 1 x WP or  dream of damp, soft things who press up against their back while they sleep, whispering. Once the dreaming starts, the Break 100 target climbs by 1 each day until the bearer fails, whereupon they will will feel that something cold and pitiless is watching them from the shadows. becoming more and more estranged from reality and, from time to time, experiencing blackouts where they cannot account for their movements. They may even become distrustful of friends and companions, and obsessed with the idea of destroying their enemies (who they think are “all around”). The bearer will eventually become unhinged and may plot to destroy their friends in the belief that they are “out to get them”  or perhaps provide a critique of  transparent opera-singing flamingos or, indeed, any other bizarre behaviour the DM deems appropriate.<br>
The bearer's sanity may not be restored until the ring is removed. However, removing it while barking mad will halve the bearer's WP value, which will return at 1 point every 3 days. Hypnotism will not help with this, although therapy may.<br>
If the bearer goes mad on adventure, the DM receives 4,000 Experience. If the madness is permanent, they get a round of applause at the Guild Meeting.
 
 
== Amulets ==
 
=== Enhanced Amulet of Amethyst ===
This amethyst may be made into an amulet that, when it is worn openly around the neck or on the forehead, wards against dreams and nightmares. They may not be interrogated by the Ritual of Sending, and are entitled to an extra Magic Resistance roll vs Nightmares (taking the best). If they are not normally entitled to one, this amulet provides one.

=== Enhanced Amulet of Elder Flowers ===
These tiny yellow flowers may be preserved and made into an amulet that, when itis worn openly about the neck or the right wrist makes the wearer' proof from the Evil Eye. In addition, they make an additional Magic Resistance check against any Curse magic. If the Curse magic does not normally allow any, they are entitled to one. If the result of either Magic Resistance check is under half what is needed, the Curse magic reflects onto its caster.

The result may be modified up or down by up to the Rank of the Windwhistle spell.<br>
The area of effect starts from directly in front of the Warrior and has a Range of 5 feet for every even numbered Rank of the spell. It is 3 hexes wide if Multi-Hex Srike is used, 2 hexes for Demon Smile.<br>
This ability cools down for 4 Pulses once it has been used.


==College of Naming Incantations v 2.1==
[[Image:Circle_of_8.jpg|left|70px]]
The College of Naming Incantations is concerned with the essential truths and underlying realities that make up the world and with the knowledge of auras and true names. Naming Incantations is one of the two oldest Colleges of Magic and just as the Entities branch grew out of runic magic so too do the
Thaumaturical Colleges have their roots in Naming. <br>
Adepts of this College are commonly called Namers. The Naming College holds that magic is a form of deception, a manipulation of reality, whereby Mages use mana to impose their will on the world. The College’s abilities include divining the true nature
of things and enforcing those truths by protecting against and preventing magic. Living beings express their true nature and intrinsic essence in their auras and names, and Namers study these in order to understand, protect, restore, and gain control over them. It is said that in the ancient days Namers were capable
of commanding the sea, the wind, and the rocks by their names — but if this is true then that knowledge has long been lost.<br> Namers still learn the names of the plants that grow in the earth, but they have little influence over them. <br>
Given its abilities in neutralising magic, and the low Magical Aptitude requirement, the College attracts considerable interest from individuals engaged in the arts of war. Many Adepts use it as a means to protect themselves against hostile magics, while they operate in a more physical manner.<br>
Traditional Colours: No particular colour has a strong association with the College, as astrologically magic is of all colours, and of none.<br>
Traditional Symbols: Members of this College sometimes wear small symbols made of iron, (insufficient to cause them any inconvenience), symbolising their ability to neutralise magic. Circles or spheres are very common, harkening perhaps to circles of protection.<br>
Magical Aptitude: The MA requirement for this College is 1.
=== 17.1 Restrictions ===
Adepts of the College of Naming Incantations may practise their arts without restriction. Some abilities may require that the Namer know a particular Generic or Individual True Name, or have learned a particular Counterspell.
=== 17.2 Benefits ===
;Language
Due to their knowledge of True Names, Namers may Rank any Language in the Protonic Language Group as if they already know another language in that group at Rank 5. (See Languages §39.7).
;Ranking Names
* Learning a Generic True Name takes a day, while learning an Individual True Name takes one week (see §3.9)
* Further ranking of both Generic and Individual True Names takes 1 week * Rank to be achieved.
* Ranking Names costs no EP.
* The maximum Rank for True Names is 20.
* Ranking of Names may be done in combination with ranking either a magical or non-magical ability.
* Namers may Rank one Name in addition to other forms of ranking.
;Modifications
The following numbers are added to the Base Chance of performing any talent, spell or ritual of the College of Naming Incantations:
Never before encountered target’s generic type
: -15%
Has not learned target’s Generic True Name
: -10%
Each Rank achieved with target’s Generic True Name
: +1%
Each Rank achieved with target’s Individual True Name
: +2%
All modifiers are cumulative.<br>
In addition, each Rank achieved with the target’s Individual True Name reduces the target’s Magic Resistance by 1%.
=== 17.3 Talents ===
'''Detect Aura (T-1)'''<br>
''Experience Multiple:'' 75<br>
''Base Chance:''' 2 * PC ( + 5 / Rank)<br>
''Resist:'' May only be actively resisted<br>
''Target:'' Entity, Object, Area, Volume<br>
''Effects:'' The Base Chance is reduced by 1% for every foot after the first five from the Adept. See the Detect Aura Talent (§9.1) for the results of this talent. In addition to other information gained, the Namer also receives the target’s Generic True Name, if any.<br>


=== 17.4 General Knowledge spells ===
= Lore =
The entire general spell knowledge of the Namer college consists of the ability to cast Counterspells. A Namer may cast a Rank 0 Counterspell against any College of magic with which they are familiar. Counterspells at Rank 0 do not count towards the Namers
== Tome of Abysmal Lore ==
MA limit for spells and rituals.<br>  
Divining this tome will reveal the tragic tale of a nameless Kerberite Chaos Lord who was tortured and tormented by the loss of his woman and children. Eventually, after being promised to be reunited with them, he revealed this secret lore by writing them in this book.<br>
Familiarity with all of the commonly encountered Colleges will be taught to a Namer during their apprenticeship, and beginning Namers will have the ability to cast all of the Counterspells of the four Branches at Rank 0. If a Namer encounters Colleged magic of a form with which they are not familiar they may familiarize themselves with the College by one of the following methods:
It weighs 7 lbs, the covers being made from the hide of an adult Kerberite, the pages made from the skin of infants. <br>
* By using the Ritual of Divination on an Adept of that College.
Anyone carrying the book will reduce their WP by 1 per day for a maximum loss of 7 as nameless grief fills them. This WP will recover 1 point every 3 days. Hypnotism can cure this loss once per day, restoring (D-5) (+1 per 3 or fraction Ranks).<br>
* By Divining a magical effect produced by that College, provided that it is still in effect.
Once a section has been read, it is learnt but the writing vanishes from the pages. No more than 10% of the reader's Experience can be spent on these abilities.  
* By spending a day’s study with a Namer who is already familiar with the College.
Once they have done this they will be able to cast Rank 0 Counterspells against that college.<br>
Namers rank all Counterspells as General Knowledge spells of the Namer College. Once a Namer begins to rank a Counterspell it will count towards the Namers MA limit for spells and rituals as normal.<br>

A double or triple effect cast may increase the area of effect to 25 feet or 35 feet across respectively.

A single Damage Square can be played against damage from one single attack as a Free Action in a Pulse. They may be played before the reader's Initiative or even when they are stunned. They may not usually be played when they are surprised, asleep, unconscious or dead.<br>
All Damage Squares are restored after the reader returns from having spent at least 24 hours in the Abyss.


A target may only be under the effects of the Counterspells of a single Branch. The target may also occupy an area under the effects of another Branch’s Counterspells. Thus the maximum number of Counterspells that an entity or object may gain benefit from is four: the General and Special Counterspells of one Branch cast upon them, and the General and Special Counterspell of another Branch upon the area they occupy. Counterspells of other colleges cast upon them will obey the normal rules for queueing. A target may only benefit from one Counterspell against a particular spell. If there is more than one appropriate Counterspell protecting a target the highest ranked one will have an effect.


=== 17.5 General Knowledge Rituals ===

'''Dissipation (Q-1)'''<br>
''Target:'' Entity, Object, Area, Volume<br>
''Base Chance:'' As per Counterspell + Ritual preparation<br>
''Cast Time:'' 1+ hours, maximum 10<br>
''Actions:'' Concentration<br>
''Concentration Check:'' Standard<br>
''Effects:'' By engaging in Ritual Spell Preparation a Namer may use a Counterspell to dissipate the effects of a spell. The Namer must perform at least one hour of Ritual Spell Preparation at the end of which they must cast the appropriate Counterspell, and specify the name of the spell to be dissipated. Only spells (not rituals) may be dissipated using this technique. It is not possible to achieve Rank with this ability since it is not an independent ritual, but rather a specialized use of Ritual Spell Preparation.

Once a day, requiring a Free Act, Bishop may add his PS to his WP for 12 Pulses, for as long as he is not in 90% or greater darkness.<br>
Once a week, Saturday to Saturday, and requiring a Pass Action, he may drink 10,000 cubic feet of darkness into the pupil of his left eye. This will cause the entire orb to turn black. He may take another Pass Action to release the darkness, which will emanate around him.<br>
Should he be gathered by those capable of such things, his heartblood may be collected for 15 Will.

==== Enchiridion of the Boar's Tusk ====
Only a Rank 4+ Warrior can learn this stance, and it costs 1,000 Experience. <br>
The Warrior takes a stance, holding a pole weapon rated for A or B Class damage, a sword, warhammer or a warpick, pointing it towards the ground on their right. If they take an Action of any kind, including a Reflex Action or a Free Act, the benefit of the stance is lost.<br>
The Warrior gains +15 to Strike Chance with a Charge that is delivered in a straight line, and increases damage by +3.<br>
Once the attack has been completed, the Warrior rolls for Initiative again, the new roll standing.


==== Enchiridion of the Lady on the Left ====
= Incantations =
Only a Rank 4+ Warrior can learn this stance, and it costs 1,000 Experience. <br>
== Mental Attack - Multi-Target ==
The Warrior takes a stance, holding the point of a sword or A Class pole weapon downwards over their left arm (or shield, if they're holding one). If they take an Action of any kind, including a Reflex Action or a Free Act, the benefit of the stance is lost.<br>
''Effects:'' This incantation allows the Adept to assign 1 per 3 or fraction of the spell's Rank with Mental Attack as targets, instead of one. <br>
The Warrior gains +15 to Defence from any attack arising out of their left and front hexes. In addition, the Warrior may increase the Defence of an ally who is standing to their immediate left. This only applies to attacks that are delivered to that ally's right front hex.<br>
'''Cost:''' 2000<br>
If the next attack the Warrior delivers in a Specific Grievous injury, then they may add or subtract a value equal to their Warrior Rank if that would make the injury one to the head.<br>
'''Constraints:''' Unracks the spell, reduces FT value by 3.<br>

=== The Name of the Atlas Gryphon ===
= Allies =
[[Image:Gryphon.jpg|right|280px]]
===Khamsin ===
This is the Individual True Name of a unique entity. There are only 21 Ranks available. In other words, every Rank this Name is raised by one individual, reduces someone else's Rank by the same amount amount.<br>
[[Image:Khamsin.jpg|right|240px]]
However, if the [[This_Quintessence_of_Dust:_Treasure#Spell_of_Name_Change|Spell of Name Change]] is known, and their Rank in the Generic True Names 'Lion' and 'Eagle' are Ranked to 10 or higher, then they may assume this shape:
; Description:  Khamsin is a courser out of the Great Mare Sirroco and the Great Horse Grit. He is a dun buckskin, darkening along his spine, mane, tail and lower legs.
;The Atlas Gryphon
; Talents, Skills, and Magic: Khamsin speaks the Common tongue at Rank 8 and the language of equines, fantastical or otherwise. When he is literate in a language at Rank 8 or higher he may learn any General Knowledge spell as if it were a Special Knowledge magic and walk upon sand, whether it be quicksand or sand borne by wind or storm. Once a week, resetting at dawn on Sunday, he may call a sand storm from the west. Once a season, resetting at noon on the next solstice or equinox, as a Reflex Action, the force of all damage that afflicts him for the remainder of the Pulse are reduced to their square root (i.e. 100 becomes 10, 49 becomes 7)
:This creature has the body, hindlegs and tail of a tawny lion, and the head and foreclaws of a golden eagle. It has a wing span of 5 metres. Its feathers are brown, although the primaries are the colour of bronze.  
; Movement Rates: Running: 600
{{BeastStats|90|15|20|10|45|60|20|15|13|12|Hide reduces Damage by 2}}
; Weapons:
:'''Bite''' BC 25%, [D + 8], Melee & Close, Rank 0. This attack requires but a Free Act
:'''Kick''' BC 45%, [D + 7], Melee Rear, Rank 0. This attack may be delivered as a Reflex Action to a rear hex but in that case no other Kick attack is allowed.
:'''Trample''' BC 25%, [D + 8], Close, Rank 0. This attack is delivered automatically whenever Khamsin first enters Close with an opponent.

;Weapons: The gryphon can batter opponents with each wing in Extended (up to 1 hex away) or Melee Combat
:BC: 45%, D10+2 damage, without penalty.
Wings inflict C Class injuries, and may be Ranked to 10 using the same Experience Point cost as Unarmed Combat
:Every 4 Ranks in this ITN increases PS, MD, AG, EN and PB by 1. This stacks with bonuses for the Generic True Name of 'Lion' and 'Eagle'.
:The Protection value of the gryphon is 2 (+1 per 4 Ranks in the ITN).
:Spell Armour value of the gryphon is 1 (+1 per 5 Ranks in the ITN)
:The shape provides 1 point of Damage Reduction against all known forms of damage + 1 for every 10 Ranks in the ITN.
:The gryphon has a land TMR of 4, and a flying TMR of 6. Land TMR increases by 1 per 5, whereas Flight TMR increases by 1 per 4 Ranks in the ITN. At Rank 20, the flying TMR becomes 12.
:The gryphon has the following flight properties:
* flying requires a clear space of about a hyper-megahex.
* the gryphon must maintain an airspeed equivalent to TMR 4 to avoid stalling and beginning to fall.
* maximum rate of climb is an angle of 45&#176;, and each Pulse climbing like this costs 1 FT. Climbing at a rate of 1 hex per 2 horizontal hexes does not cost FT.
* the gryphon may ride a sky current at altitudes of 15 metres or higher, the current's direction can be determined at will. The movement rate is 880 yards per minute (30 mph), plus 30 yards per minute (+1 mph) for every Rank in the ITN.
;Battleform
A Battleform may also be assumed and changing between this and the gryphon form [[Image:Michael.jpg|right|180px]]requires a Pass Action. Spectral eagle's wings emerge from the Adept's back, passing through clothing and armour. The wings let the Adept fly at their normal TMR +1(+ 1 per 5 Ranks). At Rank 20, the bonus to flying TMR is +10. These wings do not provide the Adept with a flying movement rate.<br>
The Battleform provides 1 point of Damage Reduction (+1 for every 10 Ranks in the ITN) against all known forms of damage.
;The wings have the following flight properties:
* flying requires a clear space around the Adept of about a megahex.
* the Adept must spend 1 FT at the beginning of every Pulse that they intend to fly.
* the Adept must maintain an airspeed equivalent to TMR 4 to avoid stalling and beginning to fall.
* maximum rate of climb is an angle of 45&#176;, and each Pulse climbing like this costs an additional point of FT. Climbing at a rate of 1 hex per 2 horizontal hexes does not cost additional FT.
In addition, wings may be used to batter opponents in Extended (up to 1 hex away) or Melee Combat
:BC: 45%, D10+2 damage. Two wing attacks may be made without penalty unless the Adept is using other weapons, in which case only one wing attack is allowed.<br>
Wings inflict C Class injuries, and may be Ranked to 10 using the same skill  as Unarmed Combat. They may Strike at spectral or insubstantial creatures and will not conduct a draining attack.


Once a copper scroll is read, it crumbles to greenish dust.
=== Orichalcum Escapement ===
;Scroll of Building a House of Life
This escapement weighs 15 lbs, is made from an orichalcum cog a foot in diameter, <span style="vertical-align:super;font-size:x-small">1</span>/<span style="vertical-align:sub;font-size:x-small">4</span> inch in thickness, attached to a rectilinear cuboid frame of 9 inches x 2 feet x 1.5 inches, inside of which a pale grey weighed rod 1 yard in length is attached. <br>
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.<br>
If an Adept casts a spell that causes the rod to vacillate, then they may reduce the force (i.e the weight x movement) or PS value of the spell to as little as <span style="vertical-align:super;font-size:x-small">1</span>/<span style="vertical-align:sub;font-size:x-small"> Rank in Mechanician</span> but multiply the duration by a similar Rank value.
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.<br>
[[Image:Sarcophagus.jpg|right|150px]]
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
;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).


=== Serpent Jewels x 10 ===
These gems are living rubies and sapphires which have been ground to perfect spheres so that they may act as bearings at the point where metal connects to metal and without any requirement for lubrication. <br>
With respect to a clockwork device of a Mechanician's making, this will increase its efficiency and accuracy while reducing friction to a movement. 17 jewels will reduce such a device from about the size of a large mantle clock to a cameo brooch.<br>
An enterprising Mechanician may find other uses for them.<br>
They are of poor gem quality, because, except for the perfect sphericality, they have little ornamental value (700sp each) although they are of substantial interest to Summoners and Mechanicians (2,100sp each).<br>


=== Invocations ===
=== Bridge & Movement x 1 ===
An invocation is an imprecation to an otherworldly Power or Force to alter magic in some way. These invocations are expressed when a spell is being Prepared. For it to be legal, the Adept's player must speak the imprecation in a loud, clear voice, and this reflects how obvious the invocation is to others. Generally speaking, anyone within 10 hexes will hear it, and therefore may be aware of what it does.<br>
Each bridge provides the framework on which each movement sits and is made from living brass, silver and elemental bronze. Each bridge is a semi-circle about a metre across at the base, weighs 18 lbs, the movement being mechanical componentry, also made from living brass, silver and elemental bronze, weighing a further 7 lbs. <br>
Invocations call upon the properties of an artefact of some kind, a demi-power, a power (but not a deity), a place (on an alternate plane, usually) or some other thing, and these are marked in the description. A Philosopher who has the Magical World realm and the appropriate field has a 40% chance (+3 / Rank) of identifying the invocation and what it does. This value is halved if they do not have the appropriate field, and halved again if they do not have the Magical World realm.<br>
Currently, such an automaton might have a PS of 13 and either an MD of 8 or an AG of 9, but not both. The maximum these values may be increased is Rank in Mechanician.<br>
In general, it takes seven half days of meditation (magical training) to learn an invocation, although some may take longer, the Adept must pay the listed Experience Point Cost and they will attract an influence, of which a record must be kept. For each season that the invocation is not used, 20% of the Experience Points are refunded, to a maximum refund of 80%.<br>
Only a Rank 5+ Mechanician can modify or repair the movement, only one of Rank 6+ can modify or repair the bridge.
Once used, the Invocation is lost until is learnt again (i.e. the Experience point cost is paid again).
; Mainspring x 2
This mainspring weighs 2 lbs and may be attached to an automaton to give it a FT reserve of 7. The maximum this value may be raised to is 2 x the Mechanician's Rank. When this reserve is exhausted, the device becomes inactive. The FT reserve may be restored by a Mechanician of Rank 3+, and this will cost 3 FT + the FT value to be transferred. <br>
Only a Mechanician who knows how to make Tempers and is Rank 5 or higher can modify or repair the mainspring.


;"By sky-striding Sarennan!"
=== Cogs & Gears x 17 ===
[[Image:Copper_scroll.jpg|right|150px]]
Cogs and gears increase the PS, MD and AG of an automaton or the FT value of a mainspring. Inevitably, however, they create points of friction in the device where metal grinds against metal. The law of diminishing return applies and the ensuing inefficiency quickly makes a device impractical. Throne jewels may be used to offset this inefficiency. The first point of PS, AG or MD costs 1 cog or gear, mainsprings increasing the first point of FT value by 2. This doubles for each further point of increase. Each cog (and attendant assembly) will increase the weight by 7.5 lbs and the size by 1 cubic foot, similarly doubling for each point of increase. Each throne jewel set into the device will reduce the weight by 7 lbs and the size by 1 cubic foot.
''Spells:'' Bolt of Energy, Illusionary Bolt, Bolt of Starfire, Bolt of Fire.<br>
''Sub-Field:'' Power.<br>
''Experience Cost:'' 750.<br>
''Attracts:''1 Astral.<br>
''Effects:''The Adept's spell becomes a javelin of lightning (or levin bolt) that they cast at a target or object. It will inflict 1 rollup D10 (+1/Rank) Lightning damage on the first entity or object that the bolt encounters unless they Break 100 => AG x 2. Any living entity that does not avoid the levin bolt loses any unused Actions for the rest of the Pulse and suffers a penalty of 20 to any Action until they spend a Pass Action to recover, which requires a Break 100 => WP x 2.<br>
If the target is holding or wearing more than 5 lbs of metal, no Protection, Spell Armour or Damage Reduction may be applied.


;"Regard the discs of the Crimson Harpax!"
=== Serpent's Tongue ===
[[Image:Copper_scroll.jpg|right|150px]]
This grey-pink tongue is 9 inches wide, 2 inches thick and 9 feet long, forking into finer tails for a further 2 <span style="vertical-align:super;font-size:x-small">1</span>/<span style="vertical-align:sub;font-size:x-small"> 2</span> feet. It weighs 13 lbs.<br>
''Spells:'' Bolt of Energy, Illusionary Bolt, Bolt of Starfire, Bolt of Fire.<br>
Surprise me.
''Sub-Field:'' Power.<br>
''Experience Cost:'' 1,000.<br>
''Attracts:''1 Abyss.<br>
''Effects:'' The Adept's spell creates a number of crimson discs equal to 1 (+1 per 3 or fraction Ranks) that will inflict 1 rollup D10 (+ 1 per Rank) B Class damage (for what it's worth). A target of an initial disc takes full damage, but the damage of each subsequent disc is halved, truncating all fractions to a minimum of 1. Discs may be sent one at a time or all at once. So, an Adept has 5 Rank 10 discs, which, having rolled a "5" on the D10, will inflict 15 damage. The Adept chooses to spend them one at a time. The first target fails to Resist so takes the 15 damage modified by Spell Armour. The next disc inflicts 7 damage but the target seems only to take 1 or 2 points. The Adept considers that a disc that inflicts 3 points of damage would be a waste, so switches to someone else, assuming that if they fail to Resist, they will take 15 damage (again, less Spell Armour).<br>
Observe that a target Resists the spell but once. If they fail, then they will fail against all of the discs, if they succeed, they succeed against all of them. Spells that inflict half damage on a successful Resistance check do not benefit from this Invocation.

Primal Grenado

This grenado is striated with blue and orange and weighs 3 lbs. The base Strike Chance is 53% and, on impact, percentile dice are rolled and the following table consulted to find the damage that impacts the target hex:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Damage is halved (rounding down) for each hex from the centre of the explosion.

Potions

Yellow Potion of Health

This potion weighs 4 oz and need not be Prepared before it can be used if it is attached to a convenient belt or strap. The potion will break if the DM decides that the owner may have unsuccessfully avoided a powerful blow, and a percentile roll to avoid destruction exceeds 70.
This potion can only be used once in a 5 second period of time, cures 2 rollup D10 points of damage, does not require a Pass Action, and in fact can only be taken during the Military Scientist Time Out phase. If there is no Military Scientist to provide a Time Out, the potion does nothing.

Pot of Flesh x 2

This pot contains a pinkish, oozing mass and weighs 4 oz.
When it's contents are applied to a wounded entity, up to 3 Specific Grievous Injuries will be cured. If there is only one such injury, it will be cured at the end of the next Pulse. If there are three, then none of them will be cured until the end of the third Pulse after the mass has been applied.
No particular Skill is required to place the mass, it will slither around the target's body and infiltrate the wounds.
In addition, D10+5 EN damage is cured.

Staunch Potion of Healing

This phial weighs 4 oz and may be taken without Preparing if it is attached to a belt or bandolier, etc. If the bearer is struck for a massive blow or a Specific Grievous Injury to any part of the torso (including shoulders and hips), then they must roll 30 or less on percentile or be shattered. The potion heals 40 damage and renders the drinker immune to damage for the rest of that Pulse and the next.

Potion of Relief

This robust phial weighs 7 oz and must be Prepared before it can be used. It contains a potion the colour of headaches and tastes like an overcast morning. Once it has been drunk, an amputated, boneless finger or protuberance will be regrown in a minute

The Suspension of Fire upon Water Rk 14 x 2

This phial is robust, weighs quarter of an oz and must be Prepared before it can be used. The oil inside is vividly orange/red in colour. The oil may be poured:

  • onto the surface of about a pint of water and it will produce a view of a place they know that is within 5 miles + 15 miles per Rank in Alchemy which will last for a minute.
  • into the right eye so that any visual obscurement, illusion or deception will be penetrated. This effect will last for a minute.
  • into the left eye so that the emotions or spiritual state of an entity can be observed. This may reveal curses, geasa, afflictions of the soul and other obligations (i.e. pacts, bloodthirst, etc). This effect will last for a minute.

Whenever the oil is used, a D10 is rolled. If the result is less than the Alchemist's Rank, then it works perfectly. Otherwise, the thing it is poured onto catches on fire and is burnt up within a pulse. Losing an eye reduces MD by 1, PB by 2 and PC by 4.

The Consummation of Fire and Water x 2

This phial is robust, weighs quarter of an oz and must be Prepared before it can be used. The fluid is vividly orange/red in colour. When the phial 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.

This potion weighs 4 oz and need not be Prepared before it can be used if it is attached to a convenient belt or strap. The potion will break if the DM decides that the owner may have unsuccessfully avoided a powerful blow, and a percentile roll to avoid destruction exceeds 70.
This potion can only be used once in a 5 second period of time, cures 2 rollup D10 points of damage, does not require a Pass Action, and in fact can only be taken during the Military Scientist Time Out phase. If there is no Military Scientist to provide a Time Out, the potion does nothing.

Slap x 2

This bottle is sturdy and, if it is on a belt or otherwise easily accessible, requires but a Free Action to use. Otherwise, the DM must determine how many Prepare Actions must be spent before it can be used. It encumbers as if it weighed 4 oz.
When the seal is broken beneath someone's nose, they automatically and immediately recover from being Stunned or waken from any effect (magical or otherwise) that causes them to sleep or lose consciousness, except that caused by a Major Curse. This includes Enchanted Sleep, Hypnotism, Mental Attack, Hibernation, Petit Mort, Knockout Gas, Backfire effects and similar magic.
It does not rouse the dead.

Phial of Poison Inversion

This small phial weighs 3 oz and is as long as a man's index finger. So long as it is worn outside of clothing, it need not be Prepared to use. If the DM deems that harm to the bearer may have broken the phial, it will survive on an unmodified Base Chance of 70%.
When it is taken, the effects of the last poison to effect the imbiber are inverted - Damage is subtracted instead of added, stats are increased rather than decreased, and in general the opposite effect applies than the one intended. However, no more may be added than is subtracted, regardless of the method used to calculate it.
The effects of this potion last for 24 Pulses, at which time both it and the poison inverted will be burnt from the their system.

Poisons

Bullet Venom x 3

This robust phial weighs 3 oz. Its contents must be Prepared before anointing a lead bullet. The effect of this venom is to cause the bullet to splinter on contact with blood, inflicting D10 damage per Pulse for 3 Pulses. This will stack with other envenomed bullets and is independent of any other damage the bullet may do.
Unless handled by someone who is bleeding, the venom may be anointed by anyone without requiring an MD check, not just Assassins.

Invested Gems

Raygun of Cold

This long, staff-like weapon weighs 3 lbs and has a Base Chance of 60% + the wielder's MA of shooting out a blue-white ray of cold that will inflict D + 15 damage on the first object or entity that intersects its path. A Strike Check in the range of a blow directly to EN inflict double damage, ones in the range of a possible Specific Grievous Injury inflict triple damage.
The target's Defense is never consulted, although entities are entitled to a Magic Resistance check, which will halve their damage.
It can fire 3 such rays before becoming depleted, however, when each ray fires, a bulb of liquid, super-cooled ice is created on the stock.
The weapon can be swung like a light war hammer or military pick at the wielder's discretion. It has a base Strike Chance of 55% and the DM is D10 + 1. If a bulb of super cold liquid ice has formed, then the weapon inflicts D100 cold damage + a possible Specific Grievous Injury, any result applying, as the bulb ruptures and eplosively forms spikes of solid ice.
The weapon may be reloaded by using a Pass Action and an Amorphous Water Balloon

Metals

Itemisable Octohedrite

5 lbs of octohedrite blade blanks, which may be made into any weapon with a straight edge or point. The damage is base DM + 1, plus any bonuses from Weaponsmith.
Octahedrite has its own Magical Resistance of 70%. If it succeeds in a MR Check against a particular magic, it will always resist it afterwards. If it fails, it will always fail. A record must be kept of which magic it will resist or fail against.
It may be made into weapons that are a bane to the Hounds of Tyndallos, who may not bend space to avoid an attack, and whose Defence will only be their Agility, unless they have been enchanted in some other way.
Such weapons must be straight, curved or weapons with angles less than 120 degrees may still be avoided by them.

Barbed Mithril

1 lb of barbed mithril

Barbed Ithildin

1 lb of barbed ithildin

Balrog Bits

Balrog Tail

The cord from the balrog's tail may be extracted to make a whip which extends out fifteen feet and weighs 3 lbs.
The base Strike Chance is 47%, base Damage is 2 rollup D10. If the Strike Check result is a prime and a successful Strike, the whip cracks for an extra rollup D10 damage.
The hand wielding the whip has its MD increased by 16 and the wielder may extend their sense of touch down its length.
Bonuses to PS do not increase the damage of this weapon.

Balrog Scale

The cracked and friable hide of this balrog has formed into irregular but horn-like scales. Each is about 2 centimetres thick, are vaguely half-moon shaped, and vary in size from 1 foot by 18 inches to 2 feet by 3.
They may be made into bucklers, small round or large round shields of the following properties:

Shield Weight DEF per Rank MD penalty
Buckler 1.5 lbs 3% 0
Small Round Shield 2.5 lbs 4% -1
Large Round 5 lbs 5% -2


Balrog Teeth x 1

These teeth are very hard, and each one weighs half a pound.
They may be thrown to the ground and crushed under heel. This has a chance of 83%, which may double, triple, or backfire. The following Pulse, a Rank 20 Wall of Fire will spring up centred on the crushed tooth, but having the proportions that the user wishes as outlined by the spell (Section 21.6 S-13).

Weapons

Pale Crossbow

This heavy crossbow is made out of the bones of some creature of the earthen deep, weighs 3lbs and is the colour of ash. The base Strike Chance is 67% and base Damage is 2 rollup D10. If the wielder's PS is 40 or more, they may Prepare the weapon with a Free Act, but at a penalty of 20 to Strike Chance.

Armour

Spectral Cape

This cape is light grey in colour and appears to be made from woven shadows. It weighs 11 oz and is a legal target for the Spectral Hand spell, in which case the Adept creates a second primary hand (and arm) which emerges from their upper back. This grey but corporeal limb has the same PS and MD as the Adept's normal primary limb but, obviously, does not benefit from itemry unless subsequently adorned. It lasts for 15 minutes and may be used as a primary hand / arm. The Adept may deliver a dual attack with this limb as if it were another primary arm / hand. At Rank 10, the limb may deliver an attack as a Free Act and as a Reflex Action when the spell is Rank 20. The arm / hand may not deliver more than 1 attack a Pulse.
The arm/hand is not obvious until called upon but its emergence from the Adept's back is not at all calming and will force a Fear check (3 * WP) on people whose WP value is less than 12.

Void Robes of the Qalamari

These robes are the colour of migraines and nausea. They weigh 2 lbs, provide 5 points of Protection, 7 Spell Armour and may not worn with other armour. The wearer's Magic Resistance to Annihilation or Dark Sphere contact is increased by 10.
If the wearer sleeps in these robes, their dreams are visited by images of twisted things from beyond the void so the first four hours of sleep return no FT. However, in this circumstance, there is a flat 7% chance that they may learn something of the void upon waking, at the DM's whim.

Miscellaneous

Fabergé Eggs

Egg Timer

This Fabergé egg is red with a green, enameled ribbon motif around it. It is 8 cms long and weighs 10 oz.
Once a season, it can be opened as a Free Act and there is a 30% chance it will give the bearer and his allies an extra Pulse. This may be attempted each Pulse until the extra Pulse has been delivered, whereupon the egg may not be opened again until the next equinox or solstice, whichever comes first.

Jewellery

Rings

Barbed Ring

This ring weighs 1 oz and may only be worn on a finger or similar protuberance that does not contain a bone. On the bearer's Initiative, but requiring no Action, the bearer may increase the protuberance to 24 inches in length and tipped with a vicious barb. This may be used to deliver an Unarmed Combat attack with the usual Strike Chance, but the base Damage increases to 1 rollup D10 + 3. If used to parry successfully or if successfully parried, the bearer must Break 100 + 2 x MD to avoid having the protuberance amputated.

Ring of Angles

This ring is made from a matte black inert substance vaguely similar to fulminite and encumbers as if it weighed 4 oz. The outside of the ring is smooth, the inside shaped like a regular polygon with 36 sides.
When it is worn on the middle finger of the left hand for 7 days, Thursday to Thursday, the bearer is considered to be void of any curves, and the hex they are standing in contains no angle more acute than 170°.
On the occasion of the next full moon, the bearer must Break 100 -> 1 x WP or dream of damp, soft things who press up against their back while they sleep, whispering. Once the dreaming starts, the Break 100 target climbs by 1 each day until the bearer fails, whereupon they will will feel that something cold and pitiless is watching them from the shadows. becoming more and more estranged from reality and, from time to time, experiencing blackouts where they cannot account for their movements. They may even become distrustful of friends and companions, and obsessed with the idea of destroying their enemies (who they think are “all around”). The bearer will eventually become unhinged and may plot to destroy their friends in the belief that they are “out to get them” or perhaps provide a critique of transparent opera-singing flamingos or, indeed, any other bizarre behaviour the DM deems appropriate.
The bearer's sanity may not be restored until the ring is removed. However, removing it while barking mad will halve the bearer's WP value, which will return at 1 point every 3 days. Hypnotism will not help with this, although therapy may.
If the bearer goes mad on adventure, the DM receives 4,000 Experience. If the madness is permanent, they get a round of applause at the Guild Meeting.


Amulets

Enhanced Amulet of Amethyst

This amethyst may be made into an amulet that, when it is worn openly around the neck or on the forehead, wards against dreams and nightmares. They may not be interrogated by the Ritual of Sending, and are entitled to an extra Magic Resistance roll vs Nightmares (taking the best). If they are not normally entitled to one, this amulet provides one.

In addition, they make an additional Magic Resistance check against any Curse magic. If the Curse magic does not normally allow any, they are entitled to one. If the result of either Magic Resistance check is under half what is needed, the Curse magic reflects onto its caster.

Lore

Tome of Abysmal Lore

Divining this tome will reveal the tragic tale of a nameless Kerberite Chaos Lord who was tortured and tormented by the loss of his woman and children. Eventually, after being promised to be reunited with them, he revealed this secret lore by writing them in this book.
It weighs 7 lbs, the covers being made from the hide of an adult Kerberite, the pages made from the skin of infants.
Anyone carrying the book will reduce their WP by 1 per day for a maximum loss of 7 as nameless grief fills them. This WP will recover 1 point every 3 days. Hypnotism can cure this loss once per day, restoring (D-5) (+1 per 3 or fraction Ranks).
Once a section has been read, it is learnt but the writing vanishes from the pages. No more than 10% of the reader's Experience can be spent on these abilities.

Damage Squares

Experience Multiple: 1,000
This ability takes no time to train, but the reader must have at least 7 consecutive days in which training might take place. It can be advanced one Rank per season or adventure, whichever is least to a maximum of Rank 10.
The reader acquires the ability to avoid damage according to the following schedule:

Rank Squares
1 1
2 1,4
4 1,4,9
6 1,4,9,16
8 1,4,9,16,25
10 1,4,9,16,25,36

A single Damage Square can be played against damage from one single attack as a Free Action in a Pulse. They may be played before the reader's Initiative or even when they are stunned. They may not usually be played when they are surprised, asleep, unconscious or dead.
All Damage Squares are restored after the reader returns from having spent at least 24 hours in the Abyss.


Special Abilities

A Penetrant, Illumininant Eye

Once a day, requiring a Free Act, Bishop may add his PS to his WP for 12 Pulses, for as long as he is not in 90% or greater darkness.
Once a week, Saturday to Saturday, and requiring a Pass Action, he may drink 10,000 cubic feet of darkness into the pupil of his left eye. This will cause the entire orb to turn black. He may take another Pass Action to release the darkness, which will emanate around him.
Should he be gathered by those capable of such things, his heartblood may be collected for 15 Will.

Khamsin

Description
Khamsin is a courser out of the Great Mare Sirroco and the Great Horse Grit. He is a dun buckskin, darkening along his spine, mane, tail and lower legs.
Talents, Skills, and Magic
Khamsin speaks the Common tongue at Rank 8 and the language of equines, fantastical or otherwise. When he is literate in a language at Rank 8 or higher he may learn any General Knowledge spell as if it were a Special Knowledge magic and walk upon sand, whether it be quicksand or sand borne by wind or storm. Once a week, resetting at dawn on Sunday, he may call a sand storm from the west. Once a season, resetting at noon on the next solstice or equinox, as a Reflex Action, the force of all damage that afflicts him for the remainder of the Pulse are reduced to their square root (i.e. 100 becomes 10, 49 becomes 7)
Movement Rates
Running: 600
PS: 90 MD: 15 AG: 20 MA: 10 EN: 45 FT: 60
WP: 20 PC: 15 PB: 13 TMR: 12 NA: Hide reduces Damage by 2
Weapons
Bite BC 25%, [D + 8], Melee & Close, Rank 0. This attack requires but a Free Act
Kick BC 45%, [D + 7], Melee Rear, Rank 0. This attack may be delivered as a Reflex Action to a rear hex but in that case no other Kick attack is allowed.
Trample BC 25%, [D + 8], Close, Rank 0. This attack is delivered automatically whenever Khamsin first enters Close with an opponent.

Machinery

Orichalcum Escapement

This escapement weighs 15 lbs, is made from an orichalcum cog a foot in diameter, 1/4 inch in thickness, attached to a rectilinear cuboid frame of 9 inches x 2 feet x 1.5 inches, inside of which a pale grey weighed rod 1 yard in length is attached.
If an Adept casts a spell that causes the rod to vacillate, then they may reduce the force (i.e the weight x movement) or PS value of the spell to as little as 1/ Rank in Mechanician but multiply the duration by a similar Rank value.

Serpent Jewels x 10

These gems are living rubies and sapphires which have been ground to perfect spheres so that they may act as bearings at the point where metal connects to metal and without any requirement for lubrication.
With respect to a clockwork device of a Mechanician's making, this will increase its efficiency and accuracy while reducing friction to a movement. 17 jewels will reduce such a device from about the size of a large mantle clock to a cameo brooch.
An enterprising Mechanician may find other uses for them.
They are of poor gem quality, because, except for the perfect sphericality, they have little ornamental value (700sp each) although they are of substantial interest to Summoners and Mechanicians (2,100sp each).

Bridge & Movement x 1

Each bridge provides the framework on which each movement sits and is made from living brass, silver and elemental bronze. Each bridge is a semi-circle about a metre across at the base, weighs 18 lbs, the movement being mechanical componentry, also made from living brass, silver and elemental bronze, weighing a further 7 lbs.
Currently, such an automaton might have a PS of 13 and either an MD of 8 or an AG of 9, but not both. The maximum these values may be increased is Rank in Mechanician.
Only a Rank 5+ Mechanician can modify or repair the movement, only one of Rank 6+ can modify or repair the bridge.

Mainspring x 2

This mainspring weighs 2 lbs and may be attached to an automaton to give it a FT reserve of 7. The maximum this value may be raised to is 2 x the Mechanician's Rank. When this reserve is exhausted, the device becomes inactive. The FT reserve may be restored by a Mechanician of Rank 3+, and this will cost 3 FT + the FT value to be transferred.
Only a Mechanician who knows how to make Tempers and is Rank 5 or higher can modify or repair the mainspring.

Cogs & Gears x 17

Cogs and gears increase the PS, MD and AG of an automaton or the FT value of a mainspring. Inevitably, however, they create points of friction in the device where metal grinds against metal. The law of diminishing return applies and the ensuing inefficiency quickly makes a device impractical. Throne jewels may be used to offset this inefficiency. The first point of PS, AG or MD costs 1 cog or gear, mainsprings increasing the first point of FT value by 2. This doubles for each further point of increase. Each cog (and attendant assembly) will increase the weight by 7.5 lbs and the size by 1 cubic foot, similarly doubling for each point of increase. Each throne jewel set into the device will reduce the weight by 7 lbs and the size by 1 cubic foot.

Serpent's Tongue

This grey-pink tongue is 9 inches wide, 2 inches thick and 9 feet long, forking into finer tails for a further 2 1/ 2 feet. It weighs 13 lbs.
Surprise me.
