The Staff of Unfixed Horizons

Image
The Staff of Unfixed Horizons Aura strong conjuration; CL 18th Slot —; Price 162,000 gp; Weight 5 lb. DESCRIPTION This finely balanced staff is carved from pale sweetgum wood, its surface subtly striated with natural grain patterns that seem to shift when viewed from different angles. Faint motes of silvery light drift along its length when its magic is invoked. When agitated, the wood darkens subtly, and distant sounds entirely foreign to the surrounding world may briefly echo nearby - crashing waves beneath alien skies, whispering voices spoken in impossible languages, the groaning of vast unseen structures, or winds carrying scents from worlds no mortal map records. The staff has 50 charges and allows use of the following abilities: • Plane Shift, Greater, 3 charges This effect functions as plane shift (self plus up to eight willing creatures touched), except that the wielder arrives precisely at the intended destination without deviation, as though possessing perfect famil...

Image
The Ring of Saint Mirelle’s Promise Aura moderate abjuration and conjuration; CL 9th Slot ring; Price 18,400 gp; Weight — DESCRIPTION Fashioned from pale silver touched with faint rose-gold veining, this elegant ring bears a central oval moonstone surrounded by tiny seed pearls resembling gathered tears. The interior band is engraved with an ancient phrase in Old Vallonic: “No darkness may claim what love still remembers.” The Ring of Saint Mirelle’s Promise is traditionally gifted during the Hearthmother’s Vigil, a sacred Noirvallon observance honoring mothers, adoptive parents, wet nurses, caretakers, elder siblings, guardians, and all those who endured hardship so another might survive. In many regions of the kingdom, the ring is less a romantic token and more a declaration that the wearer is “one who kept the lantern lit.” While worn, the ring grants the wearer a constant sanctuary effect against summoned creatures only. In addition, once per day as an immediate action, the wearer ...

Wandier’s Wand Wallet

Image
Wandier’s Wand Wallet This thick leather carrying wallet was first popularized by itinerant hedge-wizards, battlefield arcanists, and cautious wandmakers who quickly learned that loose wands carried in packs had an unfortunate tendency to crack, discharge unexpectedly, or vanish into the depths of overstuffed satchels. Though simple in construction, the Wandier’s Wand Wallet is considered indispensable equipment among anyone who regularly carries multiple magical wands. Constructed from hardened leather reinforced with stitched inner lining and riveted supports, the wallet contains six individual wand loops designed to hold standard-sized magical wands securely in place. A broad protective flap folds over the stored wands, shielding them from dust, rain, accidental scratches, and casual theft. The lower pouch section is often padded with wool, felt, or treated cloth to prevent the delicate tips of wands from striking one another during travel. Most examples are worn on a belt or att...

Gnomish Reinforced Potion Vial

Image
Gnomish Reinforced Potion Vial These cylindrical metallic containers were first developed by gnomish battlefield alchemists after repeated losses of valuable concoctions during tunnel collapses, laboratory accidents, and the occasional unfortunate combustion event. Unlike traditional glass vials, reinforced potion vials are designed to endure rough travel, falls, compression, and even minor impacts from weapons or debris without shattering. Constructed primarily from brushed steel, tin-alloy, or lightweight alchemical brass, each vial consists of a seamless metal chamber fitted with a threaded pressure cap lined internally with waxed leather or treated cork. Most examples are intentionally simple in appearance, though gnomish makers frequently engrave serial numbers, warning glyphs, or humorous slogans onto the caps. A reinforced potion vial typically contains enough liquid for a single potion dose. The interior is coated with a thin inert lacquer developed to prevent contamination or ...

DESCRIPTION This slender copper wand measures thirteen and one-quarter inches in length and bears heavy oxidation along most of its body. The upper grip is etched with spiraling channels resembling flowing water or branching lightning. Unlike conventional wands, the Copper Pilgrim's Wand does not contain stored charges of a single spell. Instead, it serves as a resonant magical conduit that strengthens particular forms of magic already known by the wielder. While holding the wand, a spellcaster gains a +1 bonus to caster level for all spells with the electricity descriptor. Three times per day, the wielder may apply the effects of the Empower Spell feat to an electricity spell without increasing casting time or spell level. Any conjuration (healing) spell cast while holding the wand heals an additional +1 point per die rolled. Once per day, the wand may cast call lightn...

Whisperfang & Mercy’s Refrain

Image
Whisperfang & Mercy’s Refrain Aura moderate transmutation and evocation; CL 10th Slot —; Price 38,000 gp; Weight 8 lbs. DESCRIPTION These paired hook swords are forged from pale stormsteel folded so many times that faint ripples move beneath the metal like moonlight beneath disturbed water. Their hooked backs curve inward like predatory talons, while the crescent handguards gleam with a polished silver sheen resembling smiling half-moons. Each blade bears tiny engraved sutras along the fuller written in a forgotten monastic dialect. When held together in stillness, the swords emit a soft chiming hum, as though distant temple bells were echoing through rain-soaked mountains. Whisperfang & Mercy’s Refrain function as a pair of +1 defending ki focus hook swords. These weapons are treated as paired exotic monk weapons and may be used with Flurry of Blows. While wielding both swords simultaneously, the wielder gains the following benefits: • Flowing Chain: Once per round after ...

Sorcerer’s Pulseband

Sorcerer’s Pulseband Aura faint universal; CL 3rd Slot wrists; Price 3,200 gp; Weight 1 lb. DESCRIPTION This elegant silver-and-copper wristband is formed from overlapping rings of thin metallic filaments that subtly shift temperature in response to emotional intensity. Tiny opalescent stones are embedded along the inside of the band, faintly glowing whenever arcane power gathers within the wearer. When viewed in darkness, faint veins of light pulse outward from the gemstones like a heartbeat beneath skin. The Sorcerer’s Pulseband strengthens the instinctive magical control of spontaneous arcane casters. While worn, the user gains a +1 competence bonus to caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance with sorcerer spells. In addition, once per day, the wearer may cast any known 1st-level sorcerer spell without increasing casting time even if affected by metamagic that would normally require a full-round action for spontaneous casting. The spell slot used is still increased...
