== Potions ==

=== Tincture of Aconite and Passionflower ===

[[Image:Red Potion.JPG|right|50px]] This aromatic tincture is contained in a glass bottle that weighs four ounces. It changes the perceptions of whoever drinks it so that everything they see is more beautiful for Rank hours. Add two times the rank of the Herbalist who prepared the tincture to the PB of anything that they look upon. It can be added to wine or other liquor, thus diluting it's effect. Adding it to a bottle of wine would reduce the effects to about a quarter of the usual bonus and a quarter of the duration. Thus, a Rank 8 Tincture (+16 to PB) diluted in this way would increase PB by 4 for 2 hours. All fractions are truncated. The Rank of this draughts is 8. {{ItemTag Jim|The Middle Way|Spring 812|Pln=City of Brass|Aur=Formerly living|Nat=Beautification|Val=400sp|Crs=No}}

=== Potion of Greater Restoration ===

[[Image:Egg.jpg|right|60px]] Rank 10 Alchemy The potion has one of two possible effects:

*If the imbiber has no deficit to EN or FT, then they will increase their maximum FT by three but not beyond racial maximum, unless their FT cap has been removed.
*If the imbiber is alive but has taken harm, then it will restore ALL deficit to EN and FT, but permanently reduce their maximum FT by three. It will not cure EN lost to Specific Grievous injuries or Afflictions, but will restore FT lost to exhaustion and spell casting.

. The FT may be bought back in the usual way.

=== Healing Potion ===
[[Image:Red Potion.JPG|right|30px]]
This potion weighs 4oz. It may be drunk without Preparing, so long as it is worn somewhere convenient outside armour or clothing (a belt, etc). 
When drunk, the imbiber recovers D+5 EN lost to damage, but does not in anyway cure damage inflicted by Specific Grievous Injuries. 

=== Orange Crush ===
[[Image: OrangePotion.jpg |left|80px]]
This potion weighs 4 oz, it's container is robust, even though it appears fragile, and will never be broken accidentally. It may be drunk without Preparing it, so long as it is worn outside armour (a belt, etc). 
The imbiber reduces C Class damage by half for the next 8 Pulses This may include falling damage at the discretion of the DM. 
Each subsequent potion will last only half as long, resetting at noon. So, the next potion will last only four Pulses, the next 2 and so on to a minimum of 1.

=== Elixir of Sensitivity ===
[[Image: PinkPotion.gif|left|80px]]
This potion weighs 4 oz, and must be Prepared before it is drunk. 
When it is drunk, the imbiber's normal senses become powerfully enhanced for 10 minutes. The effect is to subtract 20 from any die roll where any normal sense is used. This applies to hearing, normal vision (but not Witchsight, Nightvision etc), scent, taste and touch. This supresses the Talent Resist Pain. 
No other penalty is applied, except that if the imbiber is called names, abused verbally or simply given a stern look, they must Break 100 + 2 x WP, and if they fail, will sulk or burst into tears.

=== Elixir of Healing ===
[[Image:Greenpotion.jpg|left|80px]]
This potion weighs 4 oz, and must be Prepared before it is drunk. 
Whoever drinks it gains the Healer Skill at Rank 7 for the next act of therapy. Unfortunately, they begin to see the body they are working on as a canvas and their Healing as a creative work, with consequences at the discretion of the DM, who is encouraged to be diabolical. 
Every time one of these elixirs are taken, the imbiber must Break 100 + 3 x WP, or become permanently afflicted by this obssession. 10 is added to the target number for each elixir taken. If three such potions have been taken, even if years apart, then the imbiber must Break 130 + 3 x WP or become possessed of the desire to work their creative will on the bodies of their allies.

=== Potion of Leviathan Strength ===
[[Image:Red Potion.JPG|right|50px]]
This potion weighs 4 oz, and must be Prepared before it is drunk. 
Whoever drinks this potions makes their PS 65 for the next hour, unless their PS is greater than this, in which case it has no effect.

== Dust ==

=== Dust of Ages ===

[[Image:PileOfDust.jpg|left|80px]] This sachet and its contents weighs 4 oz and contains sufficient dust to fill a volume 2 hexes by 2 hexes by 2 hexes. The dust will spread to fill a volume whilst this is practical. Anyone in the volume of effect must roll under their EN or fall immediately into a coma (reduce EN, PS, MD and AG to 0). Those that make their EN check reduce the value of their physical stats by half or 20, whichever is the least reduction. If those in a coma are not cured of the poison, they will age at a rate such that when they have been in the coma for more than half the value of their Modified EN (before it was reduced by the dust), then they will have aged to death and may no longer be Resurrected. Those that made their EN check age at a rage of 1 month per Pulse (a year a minute) until the poison is cured. If the dust is enchanted by the workings of the Poison Dust Ritual, then the EN check is penalised by the Rank of the Ritual.

=== Stone Dust ===
[[Image:HandfulOfDust.jpg|left|80px]]
This sachet and its contents weighs 4 oz. It can be sprinkled over 6 sizes of entities, who will then be affected by its magic. 
Entities affecte by the dust are entirely unaffected by magical transformations of the stone and earth. Thus, they are unaffected and may walk through areas affected by the following spells: Smoking Magma, Earth Tremor, Wall of Stone, Earth Transformation, Hands of Earth, etc. 
An entity affected by this dust will not fall if the ground is Tunneled out beneath them and may, indeed, appear to walk on air. However, they remain at all times in contact with the earth. Paradoxically, they may walk '''into''' a Tunneled out space if they so desire. 
Additionally, Earth Elementals may not affect them at all, parting around them.

= Weapons =

== Estoc of Spell Penetration ==
[[Image:Estoc.jpg|left|80px]] This estoc weighs 2 lbs, has a base Strike Chance of 67% but does not inflict damage. It inflicts D+7 (which may be enhanced by Weapon Rank, Skill Rank, special abilties and weapon spells) as a penalty to Magic Resistance. If the wielder struck an opponent and rolled 15, which modified down to 5 as a result of Protection and Damage Reduction, then they would experience a penalty to their Magic Resistance of 5. The victim must record this separately. If the victim loses track, then the DM decides, perhaps by rolling percentile dice and applies this as a penalty to their Magic Resistance. The penalty to Magic Resistance can be removed by healing effects which can cure EN or FT, but healing that only repairs damage to EN or only repairs damage to FT has no effect. Therefore Greater Heart Rune, Healer: Cure Endurance Damage, Healer: Transfer Fatigue, Willow Healing or Restoratives will not help relieve this affliction. If the Strike Check is in the range for a hit directly to EN, then the Protection value of armour is ignored. If the Strike Check is in the range for a possible Specific Grievous Injury, then the Protection and Damage Reduction values of armour are ignored.

== Ghoul Khopesh ==

This bronze khopesh is Ranked as if it were a battle axe. It weighs 3 lbs. 
The base Strike Chance is 68% and the Damage Modifier is +6. Blows directly to EN are inflicted on 20% of the modified Strike Chance, and possible Specific Grievous Injuries on 10%.

= Jewellery =

== Eye Glass Amulet ==

[[Image:EyeGlassAmulet.jpg|right|130px]] This eye glass encumbers as if it weighed 4 oz. The effects of a Force Shield spell, create 11 unseeable pentagonal planes of protection that float around the wearer on all sides. This increases their Defence by 5(+1/Rank) against all attacks at any range or from any direction. In addition, the spell deflects the first 1 DP per Rank of the spell, minimum 1, per pulse. This only applies to physical damage and has no effect on magic etc, although it can be applied to damage from spells like Diamond Javelins, Ice Bolt or Ice Projectiles. Nor does it protect against hits directly to EN or Specific Grievous Injuries.

== Carta Arcana-The Key ==

[[Image:Key.jpg|left|100px]] This image is painted on a slim plaque of marble and weighs 4 oz. The card becomes effective if the owner frees someone who is unfairly bound, imprisoned or in chains or if they bind, imprision or chain someone who should be. They must Break 100 + 2 x WP, and if they succeed, they may choose Turnkey or Lock, the choice being irreversible. The card itself will only hold one of these effects at any given time.

;'''Turnkey''' The card may be used to open a lock, portal (window or door), or Maze spell, so that any one may enter or leave without hindrance. It may also be used to set a Runelock on a closable object, equal in Rank to the amount of FT the wielder spends at the time.
;'''Lock''' The card may be played to create 1 Lock. Only 1 Lock may be kept on the trump, so far.

If the holder of the card should be targeted by Death Curse magic, they will not be affected, instead reducing the number of Lock by 1.

== Well of Water ==

[[Image:WellOfWater.jpg|left|80px]] This bluish, glass like disc is a well. It is cold to the touch, flexible and weighs 6lbs. It may be placed on the ground, where it will become bound, and so long as it is undisturbed a year and a day, it may be used in the following way: If 1 EN is sacrificed to the well, then each year, 1 Water may be withdrawn from it. If it is moved, then a year and a day must pass before Water may be harvested from the well. This means that the production of the well for the year and a day is lost.

== Sand Dragon's Eye ==
[[Image:Crystalball.jpg|left|40px]]

The eye weighs about 27 lbs and is 9 inches in diameter. 
It may be enchanted by the Ritual of Creating Crystal of Vision, and it will behave as a normal Crystal of Vision, regardless of any refinements the Enchanter may have. With one exception: The owner may cast a Mind Speech spell through the eye to communicate with people on the other side. The centre of the Mind Speech is considered to be the point of view of the eye at the time of casting.

== Control Person - Dominate Will ==
