This silver ring has a polished jade stone of palest green and weighs 1/8th of an oz. It must be worn on the little finger of the right hand to be effective. When it has been worn for a year, the bearer's AG is increased by 1. When it has been worn for 2 years, the bearer's gains another +1 to AG. . When it has been worn for 3 years, the bearer gains another +1 to AG. This may exceed personal maximums but not racial ones. The ring may be removed for as long as 1 week per season without losing its special properties. However, if this period is exceeded, all benefits are lost and the bearer must start all over again.

Miscellaneous

Winter Silk

This silk is very fine and is a metallic gold in colour. It has been spun from special spiders who live in the wintry north, and woven into an impermeable fabric. The silk covers 900 square metres and it weighs 35 lbs. It can be folded into a large park. It is, unfortunately, highly flammable, and will burst into flames if it is subjected to a heat of 70° C or higher or denature if exposed to even quite a mild acid or base. It is not warm, but it is water proof and stops wind handily enough.

Lore

Template of Shaping Trident Golem

An Adept who knows this template of the Ritual of Shaping Iron Goelms may create a template for an autonomous trident. The material cost is 1,000sp. The base stats are:

PS:	14 + 1/ Rank	MD:	17 + 1/2 Ranks	AG:	13 + 1/2 Ranks	MA:	None	EN:	8 + 1/ Rank	FT:	8 + 1/2 Ranks
WP:	18	PC:	15	PB:	8	TMR:	Special	NA:	Plating absorbs 8 DP

Trident BC 45% (+2 per Rank), [1 rollup D10 + 2], delivered as a Charge
Once launched, a trident golem will fly towards its target and delivers Charge attack for each tine without penalty. The trident gains +20 to Strike Chance on each attack and each one that hits inflicts 1 rollup D10 + 2 damage. However, Protection, Endurance Armour and Damage Reduction are only counted once, and if any of the attacks inflicts a blow directly to EN, they all do. Only one specific grievous injury is applied, however,. Once one has been inflicted, no other rolls are made.
The template must contain a reservoir for Twilight Oil, which will weigh 1lb. This will provide the motive force for the golem since it is a legal target for the Instilling Flight spell. Durationis 1 Pulse per 2 Ranks, and does not require Concentration. This allows the trident golem to fly at a TMR equal to the Rank of the spell.
A template may be created with optional extras: If special targeting magic is to be used, this is added to the template as if it were a potion, i.e Witchsight, Infravision, Enhanced Vision, Detecting Fumes etc.
If special resistance magic is to be used, this is added to the template as if it were a potion: i.e. Counterspell(s), Resistance to Light, If a warhead is to be included, this is added to the the template as if it were a trap or a stored spell. See Mechanician 40.5 & 40.6 for details.

Once the template has been completed, trident golems may be created by casting the Ritual of Shaping Iron Golems at a cost of 1/10th of the template cost + the cost in Twilight Oil and the cost of the payload, if any. They weigh 6lbs + the weight of the payload, if any. They may be Itemised.

Note

Trident golems may not be upgraded, although the templates can be.
