Well, on a break from my Grail studies I wrote up these little dandies. Enjoy. Candles of the Midnight Vigil ----------------------------- These are 5 talismans created by a Celestial Chorus/Order of Hermes team. They are used in conjunction with circles to strengthen magick against different creatures/spirits. Spirits/Wraiths/Faeries/Demons/Angels Spirit 3 Rating 3 Prime 3 Entropy 2 Vampires Matter 3 Rating 3 Prime 3 Garou Life 3 Rating 3 Spirit 3 Prime 3 Mummies Entropy 4 Rating 5 Prime 3 Spirit 4 Matter 3 Sleepers Life 3 Rating 3 Prime 3 Box of Lead ----------- This box is made of wood with metal corners and coverings, all detailed with intricate metal/woodwork. The box has dimensions of a medium-sized jewelry box (10 cm high/25 cm wide/15 cm long). Anything placed inside (up to three items the size of a two-litre bottle) can be stored there (correspondence effect). The box prevents the sensing of whatever is placed inside of it (including magick items/talismans/fetishes; it is not known whether it will work for artifacts). However, any magickal items placed inside of it must yield one point of Quintessence each, or the mage must provide the point of Quint. If the Quintessence is not provided, then the box is just an ordinary box. Correspondence 3 Rating 3 Mind 3 Prime 3 Book of Dreamer's Delight -------------------------- This book will yield information on a subject of the possesor's wish (Research + Enigmas/2 + Int; Diff. dependent on subject; successes dependent on extent of information). However, the information has a price. The book requires a steady source of Quintessence to continue to be used. Also, the book can only be consulted on a singular subject each day (much like the Dream background). The book can provide 5 study points per week of study. The book possesses all spheres at level 1 (or higher where necessary) Rating 2 Well, I hope you enjoy them and can use them. I am almost ready present my research on the Grail. Hopefully it will include some neat historical tidbits and some hooks for storylines.
