A Covenant's collection of Enchanted Items by Type/Location (Updated!)

[InfinityzeN (Troy)]

Travel Gear (Minor Update)

This is a collection of enchanted items that the Covenant can issue to groups which are traveling and on expedition through the wilderness. The enchanted items are rarely given to groups consisting of just Grogs, being reserved for when a more important person such as a Magus and their support personnel is out and about.

In addition to the enchanted items, the Covenant keeps a stockpile of mundane equipment of the varies types for outfitting expeditions. These range from tents and bedrolls to equipment needed to setup a field kitchen, for environments ranging from the frozen north to the scorching deserts of Africa. Since the Covenant recently engaged in a few decades conducting field research and spent freely, much of it is good quality (Superior).

Camping & Base Camp

These are items primarily used in setting up a camp site, whether over night or a long term base camp for an expedition.

• Traveler's Wilderness Refuge x2
  MuAn, Level 20, P/C/I, Base 5 "Very Unnatural Change", RDT 1, Size 1, MC +5, 1/day +0
  This is a bundle made from an oiled leather cover stuffed with felt and bone slices. Similar to 'Cloak of Wilderness Refuge' (MoH, p 142), it trades off the ease of carry in its non-activated form for a more functional activated form. When the command word is given, the bundle will open up and shift into a large felt wall tent, 10 paces to the side, with oiled leather top cover and bone poles. It will comfortably house ten men with their gear and twenty for just sleeping.

• Traveler's Nighttime Comfort x2
  MuTe(Ig), Level 30, T/C/P, Base 3 "Stone to Earth", RDT 3, Requisite 1, Stone 1, Size 1, MC +5, 1/day +0
  A large felt ground cloth that is sized to fit within an expanded 'Traveler's Wilderness Refuge'. Similar to 'Travelers Cloak' (MoH, p 32), this alters the first few inches of ground under it when activated to be soft and warm to the touch. The effect is powerful enough that it will function even on solid stone.

• Disk of Ready Heat x3
  CrIg, Level 20, P/C/P, Base 4 "Create Heat", RDT 2, MC +5, 24/day +5
  A black iron disk, the size of a mans two hand spread, with folding legs and wood covered handle with brass end cap. When open and activated, the disk will become hot enough to boil water (our group uses ~250 F). In addition to its use for simple cooking, it makes a very effective heater and will ignite tinder.

• Flame Without Striking (though we normally call it the magic tinderbox)
  CrIg, Level 20, T/M/I, Base 5 "Ignite Flammable", RDT 1, U/day +10
  A small brass block, with a piece of basalt inset on one face. When the basalt is touched to an object and the command spoken, the object will catch fire as long as it is something that is at least slightly flammable (leather, damp wood, etc).

• The Vitalizer of Provisions x2
  These are exact copies of the item in Covenants (p 52), made from a purchased Labtext.

Adverse Weather & Conditions

Part of the Covenants stockpile is a collection of clothing designed to protect the wearer in extremely hot or cold environments. Some of the enchanted items expand this to cover operating in locations which there is no readily available equipment for.

• Traveler's Sheltering Cloak x11
  ReAu(Ig), Level 19, P/S/I, Base 4 "Ward against precipitation", RDT 2, Requisite 1, Constant +4
  These are simple and sturdy hooded travelers cloaks made from fine wool (Excellent +1). The cloak is immune to precipitation as the spell 'Ward Against Rain' (AM5, p 128) and prevents heat from moving through it. Since the effect is on the cloak rather than the wearer, to take full advantage of it the cloak must be kept closed with the hood up.
  [Design Notes: The Rego effect is ReIg Base 3~4 "Control Direction of Spread" and only affecting heat (it was borderline between natural and slightly unnatural). This provides great insulation, which can protect the wearer from hot and cold environmental damage. It is ineffective against rapid damage, such as flame, though the cloak itself is unlikely to catch fire.]

• Brooch of Watery Breath x3
  MuAq(Au), Level 20, T/C/P, Base 4 "Liquid to Gas", RDT 3, Requisite 0, MC +5, 1/day +0
  A copper brooch with jade setting, these produce an effect as the spell 'Lungs of the Fish' (AM5, p 122) upon the wearer. These allow exploring areas under water, though a more powerful version with more uses per day is advantageous for safety.

• Bottle of Fresh Breezes x3
  CrAu, Level 9, T/C/I, Base 1 "Create Breeze", RDT 2, Unnatural 1, MC +5, 2/day +1
  A small brass flask with a chain linked stopper, bearing Creo and Auram runes. When opened they create a breeze that swirls out around the bottle, filling the area with fresh air. These are very useful when exploring deep caves or other locations in which the air is of poor quality.

Light & Senses

Part of this group is made up of items already stated. Eight 'Magic Lantern' and a 'Lens of the Eagles' have been set aside specifically to equip expeditions.

• The Light Rod x2
  CrIg, Level 20, P/C/I, Base 4 "Create Light", RDT 1, MC +5, U/day +10
  A slim bronze rod with a globe of quartz on the end. When activated, the quartz will glow with light from the dim glow of a single candle to as bright as a cloudy day. While a more powerful effect, these have the advantage of being physically smaller, brighter, and with finer control than a 'Magic Lantern'. They can also be turned completely off, where as a 'Magic Lantern' will generally have some small amount of light spill out even if its shudders are fully closed.

• The Eternal Torch x5
  CrIg, Level 20, T/C/I, Base 4 "Create Fire (Damage +5)", RDT 2, MC +5, 24/day +5
  A sturdy torch made of woven wood, with a brass cup on the end. When activated a flame of the size found on a normal torch will project from the brass cup. While less bright and without the fine control of 'The Light Rod', it is actual fire which can be used to set things alight or as a weapon. These items were found during an expedition into an abandoned Covenant and we do not have the Labtext for them.

• The Gem of Auras
  In(Cr)Vi(Im), Level 29, T/S/I, Base 2 "Detect Aura Power", RDT 3, Complexity 3, Requisite 1, Constant +4
  A silver banded clear quartz stone, about an inch in size. When inside of an Aura, the quartz will glow with a soft light. The intensity and color of the light can be used to determine the type and strength of the Aura (shades of Blue for Magic, Green for Faerie, Red for Infernal, and Gold for Divine).

  [Design Notes: Our group used a level of Complexity for each additional type of Aura. Some groups might instead rather individual items/effects for each type. This would reduce the level of each to 9, since it removes the Complexity and the Requisite becomes Cosmetic.]

• The Vis Hunters Bell
  In(Cr)Vi(Im), Level 20, V/M/G, Base 1 "Detect Vis", RDT 4, Requisite 1, U/day +10
  A fancy brass hand bell without clapper, on a wooden handle stained by Ink of Hermes. When it is rung against a hard surface, all Vis within the range of sound (about 15 paces for a normal ring) will take on a glowing pulsing appearance while the sound last. A single ring will last for a few seconds (roughly a round). While normally stored within The Vault and used during the collection of Vis, this is the item taken on expeditions hunting new Vis sources because it allows multiple people to be involved in the search.

Carrying Loads & Movement

These items are for carrying supplies and allowing faster movement. Already stated items include two 'The Enchanted Porter', used for handling heavy objects.

• The Chest of Weightlessness x2
  PeAn(HeTe), Level 39, T/S/G, Base 4 "Destroy Weight", RDT 5, Requisite 2, Constant +4
  A sturdy wooden chest with brass banding and lock, capable of holding roughly 1 cubic pace of material. Anything within it covered by its Forms is weightless, while the chest itself only weighs about a pound. Normally these are used for carrying heavy equipment, though they can also be used for heavy loot.

• The Motivated Wagon x2
  ReHe, Level 20, P/C/I, Base 3 "Control", RDT 1, Size 2, Speed 1, MC +5, 1/day +0
  This pair of strange wagons are stored in the same warehouse of the Consortium as the "Old Style" Landen Portals. A small piece of amber in a brass setting is located before the front bench seat. The wagon may be controlled while touching the amber and concentrating.

  When activated the wagon will move on the ground under its own power, with a maximum speed of a galloping horse (~40 mph/~64 kph). It will continue the last instruction until commanded differently or the effect expires at sunrise/sunset without a user concentrating to maintain it. Complex maneuvers might require a Per + Finesse roll.

  The wagons can move with a maximum Load of 500. Despite its load capacity, the most people it can carry comfortably is 3 on the bench seat and 4~5 in the bed (any more and they would be cramped, to a maximum of 20 if stacked like cord wood).

Stealth

Only one type of enchanted device is normally used for stealth by expeditions. Issued to any Grogs performing scouting duty, it makes them virtually unnoticeable by beings without MR.

• The Insignificant Pendent x4
  MuIm, Level 20, T/C/I, Base 3 "Sight, Sound, & Smell", RDT 2, MC +5, 24/day +5
  A small opal pendent on a leather cord, when it is activated it will change the sight, sound, and smell species of its wearer to be anamorphic in nature. See HoH:S, p 65 for details of anamorphic illusions. A similar item is in MoH, p 93.

  Everything viewing the wearer while the effect is active will see them as mundane and insignificant, as long as they take no actions which would draw undo attention to themselves. Actions which break the effect for a single subject do not break it for others. If the wearer moves outside of the sensory range of someone it is broken for then it will reestablish itself if later they return to sensory range.

  To consciously detect the wearer while the effect is active requires a Stress Die Roll + viewer's Per + viewer's Alertness - 9 against an Ease Factor of Stress Die Roll + viewer's dominant active Personality Trait + wearer's Per + wearer's Finesse. If they succeed by 0~2, they know something is not quite right though it seems mundane in nature. If they succeed by 3+, they see through the effect as the supernatural thing it is.

  This effect has advantages over invisibility, such as the user being able to still see themselves and people not accidentally walking into them (they subconsciously know the wearer is there, just not important enough to consciously notice). It will defeat most non-magical means to detect an invisible subject, since most results which would reveal the wearer are ignored if the searcher does not roll high enough on their Alertness roll. It will also defeat animals which rely on their sense of smell.

The Roman Baths

With several ongoing constant effect on all the water in the building / rooms, your covenant so deserves a spontaneous water elemental at some point.

[InfinityzeN (Troy)]

The water in the Roman baths is created by magic and only exist for Sun duration at a time, so it really never has a chance to build up warping.

Now if someone build such a baths like that using normal water rather than magically summoned water...

Plants, Crops & Food Production (New!)

Landen has many enchanted items specifically to improve the production of crops and food. This includes one I actually missed in my original post (Bountiful Greenhouse Marker). A couple of items have also been moved from the place they were roughly slotted to this post.

There are no items for controlling the weather (almost always exceptional nice in the Regio) and a yearly ritual uses several Truffles of Virtue to help ensure a bountiful harvest (Mystic Locations, p.117). We didn't realize it until several decades later but there is some spill over from the 'Truffle Ritual' into the mundane level and the upper two tiers of the Regio. Since one of the effects of this ritual is that it causes Truffles of Virtue to spawn, we had a boom year when first discovered and a larger annual harvest since.

Marker Stones to improve harvest

The Covenant has created three varieties of marker stones which improve the growth of plants. Most of these are used outside the area affected by the annual truffle ritual, though the Magi have decided to double up on their vineyard.

• Bountiful Greenhouse Marker x2
  CrHe, Level 19, T/S/S, Base 1 "Grow Well", RDT 6, (+3 Size), Constant
  A carved stone roughly a hand span across, when mounted in a structure it causes all crops to grow healthier, larger, and tastier than they otherwise would be. It can support greenhouses of immense size, capable of affecting 1,000,000 cubic paces of plants (10,000 medium trees or 1,000 large trees!).
  .
  The first made is located in the Walled Garden and has been there for nearly a century. The second is in a similar structure on the 4th tier of the Regio, named the Hermetic Garden, which was built about a decade ago. The Hermetic Garden grows plants for inks, herbs useful to the Magi and Medicus, and spices for use in the Covenant. Each was designed for the garden they are in.

• Bountiful Vineyard Marker (Bountiful Garden Marker) x3
  CrHe, Level 14, T/S/G, Base 1 "Grow Well", RDT 5, (+3 Size), Constant
  A pace high carved standing stone that is setup in a marked section of vineyard, it causes all crops to grow healthier, larger, and tastier than they otherwise would be. Each can support up to 10,000 cubic paces of plants which is enough for roughly 5,000 grape vines, 3 acres of wheat, or 10~100 fruit trees.
  .
  One of these is setup on each wing the vineyard on the 1st tier, which when combined with the annual Truffle Ritual and the environment has resulted in overly large vines producing massive grapes. The vines are about 5 cubic paces each, compared to normal large vines being 2 cubic paces each. The third of this has the variant name and is on the mundane level, in the Landen village community garden.

• Bountiful Field Marker x2
  CrHe, Level 19, T/S/G, Base 1 "Grow Well", RDT 5, +1 Size, (+3 Size), Constant
  A pace and a half tall carved standing stone that is setup in a sectioned field or orchard, it causes all crops to grow healthier, larger, and tastier than they otherwise would be. Each can support up to 100,000 cubic paces of plants which is enough for roughly 30 acres of wheat, or 100~1,000 trees.
  .
  These are setup on the mundane level, one in the orchards north of the Walled Garden and the other in a wheat field south west of the village. These areas don't have the advantages of those in the Regio (though some spill over of the Truffle Ritual affects the orchard) and so these items help ensure that there is enough food to feed the village.

Wands and Staffs to Accelerate Plants

The Covenant has enchanted two wands to rapidly grow plants and make trees/vines ready to harvest. Magus Johon is currently enchanting an Invested Staff ("Staff of the Harvest"?) to accelerate grain production, though the rest of the Magi think this is foolish since it is unneeded in the Covenant and obvious if used in the village fields. There is also a staff to accelerate harvesting.

• Wand of Growth
  CrHe, Level 40, T/S/I, Base 15 "Maturity in a day", RDT 3, U/day +10
  A birch wood wand, engraved with leaves and vines. When used on a seed or sapling it causes it to grow to maturity over the course of a day. The effect must be used within a couple hours of sunrise or sunset for it to have enough time to reach full maturity before the effect expires.
  [Notes: This wand is just as likely to be in use within the Covenant, the shipyard grove, or the orchards surrounding the Walled Garden on any given day. It is normally carried by a Covenfolk who's duty is to see to the trees (Profession: Forestry 8). He is quite elderly now so his apprentice might be carrying out the duty especially in harder to reach areas.]

• Wand of Blooming & Fruiting
  ReHe, Level 50, T/M/G, Base 15 "Bloom" & "Fruit", RDT 3, +1 Complexity, +2 Size, 24/day +5
  An almond wood wand, engraved with vines and grape clusters. When used on a mature tree (or vine) it causes it to bloom and fruit in a few moments. It can affect up to 1,000 cubic paces of plants at once, enough for 200 of our (over large) grape vines or 10~100 trees.
  [Notes: This combines two Base 15 ReHe effects. However since they are closely linked, we have allowed it with only +1 Complexity. Others might require more Complexity or separate effects.

• Reaping Staff
  Pe(Re)He, Level 40, T/M/G, Base 5 "Kill Plant", RDT 3, +1 Complex, +1 Rego, Unlimited/day +10
  [See 'A Spell to Kill Weeds', Covenants p.51]
  A black wooden staff with a basalt end cap. When touched to a grain plant, it and similar plants within a 15 pace range (up to 10 cubic paces) are cut at the base and stacked in bundles. It can cut and bundle up to 6,000 cubic paces of grain plants in a hour, greatly accelerating harvesting.

The Inland Fishery

Setup on the second tier of the Regio a short walk south of the Roman Baths is a cluster of four warehouses, a barrel shack, sun drying racks, and smoke shacks. Three of the warehouses have two rows of five empty pools down the sides and a processing area in the center. The fourth is cold (Freezing Stone), stocked full with sacks and lines of seafood.

The fishery is active at a very low level most days, since it can produce enough that the entire Covenant population could not process it all. It produces smoked & pickled eels, smoked & fresh clams, and dried & fresh prawns. The Bath Wand from the Roman Baths is used to fill the pools when active.

• Rod of the Ecstatic Eels
  ReAn, Level 30, T/M/G, Base 5 "spawn vermin", RDT 3, Unlimited/day +10
  A blended wooden rod with carvings of eels and tipped with magnetite. When used on a Base Individual sized pool of muddy water it will cause 1,000 eels to spawn. The eels are scooped out of the pools with nets and prepared, ending up smoked with alder wood or pickled in barrels. These are consumed locally, traded, or used to stock ships.

• Rod of the Clattering Clams
  ReAn, Level 30, T/M/G, Base 5 "spawn vermin", RDT 3, Unlimited/day +10
  A blended wooden rod with carvings of clams and tipped with magnetite. When used on a Base Individual sized pool of sand bottomed water it will cause 1,000 clams to spawn. The clams are scooped out of the with nets and ether shucked before smoking or sent live to the kitchens. Occasionally barrels will be filled, set to the village and through Portals for sale.

• Rod of the Pattering Prawns
  ReAn, Level 30, T/M/G, Base 5 "spawn vermin", RDT 3, Unlimited/day +10
  A blended wooden rod with carvings of prawns and tipped with magnetite. When used on a Base Individual sized pool of sand bottomed water it will cause 1,000 prawns to spawn. They are scooped out the with nets and ether smoked, laid out to dry, or sent live to the kitchens. Occasionally barrels will be filled, set to the village and through Portals for sale.

The Landen Pond

On the mundane level a small stream flows north from the natural spring surrounded by a dense grove of old growth which is an echo of the core of the Regio and formed the original entry into it. Where this stream meets the beach is where the Consortium and village of Landen were founded. To help feed the steadily growing population (and conceal the new entry into the Covenant) the land between the old grove and the village was taken up by agriculture.

This consist of a walled garden, surrounded by a mixed orchard of fruit and nut trees. Further to the west are the barns and fields which handle most of the community livestock. Just off of the stream to the east a large pond was dug, linked to the stream with buried pipes to keep it at a stable water level. The pond serves as a farm for frogs, crayfish, snails, river crabs, eels and other species. Edible aquatic plants including cattails, watercress, and water chestnuts grow upon it.

As the population continued to raise, a means of increasing the output of the pond was needed as villagers considered much that was grown there a delicacy and over fished it to an extent that it was unable to keep up with. Thus this enchanted item was created to help repopulate it and was so effective at the task that a large proportion of the village diet is supplied by it.

• A Disk to Feed Vermin
  CrAn, Level 38, T/Moon/I, Base 10 "Create Corpse", RDT 4, Complex +1, E. Trigger +3, 1/day +0
  A large curved stone disk bearing a carved symbol of the sun on its very top, mounted upon a submerged hollow cylinder in the middle of the pond. The cylinder is dotted with many small holes, allowing small things to move in and out of it. The disk is mounted at such a height that it is anywhere from half submerged to only having the symbol on its top above the water as long as the pond stays within its normal depth range. The disk and cylinder are made of local stone so they will not attract undue attention unless closely examined.

  When the light of dawn strikes the symbol on top of the disk, it creates a mix of viscera and offal from its bottom side which falls into the cylinder. These are raw and unprocessed, what would be the waste material from a butcher, and are the leftovers from several species of animal (Complex). In the world of Ars Magica, the varies vermin and insect species spawn from rotting flesh. Some spawn from specific types of animal and others from any based on the environment it is in. Thus this item produces about 1 base individual of material from which the varies vermin species farmed in the pond will spawn from every day and last roughly a month so that they can rot.

Since at any given time the pond has 28 base individuals worth of material, an over abundance of crayfish, snails, river crabs, and insects are always spawning. All of them are small enough that they can exit the cylinder through its many holes and spread out through the lake. They serve as an abundant food source for fish, boosting their population as well. There is such a density of animals that fisherman will overloaded a thrown net. Getting only a single type requires specialized traps and a great deal of effort.

Odd Plant Item

• The Ingenious Plant Pot x2
  MuHe(Me), Level 19, T/S/I, Base 4 "Awaken", RDT 3, Constant
  These sturdy clay pots cause a plant planted within them to be awakened as long as it is in the pot. While of little use in the Covenant since all longer lived plants tend to awaken, they have been used to get an awakened plant into other locations. If positioned properly they can serve as a spy (assuming you can talk to plants). The effect is suppressed in a Divine or Infernal Aura. The Covenant has a fixed AC to each pot and can teleport them back with the Ring of Retrieval.

Enchantments for the Covenant Fleet (Update)

This is a collection of items which are used by ships in our trade fleet. Primarily found on our flagship and larger trade ships, while the smaller ships of the fleet make due with their exceptional performance from the form and quality of their crafting.

At the time of writing, the fleet consist of our flagship the Gelkin (a war outfitted Nef) and four other warships in the same style (the Kelpie, Kraken, Leviathan, and Charybdis), six very large trading Nefs (200 tons cargo), eight large trading Nefs (100 tons cargo), 38 medium trading Nefs (40 tons cargo), and 15 river barges (10~20 tons cargo). While not part of the trade fleet, there are ten fishing boats that work out of Landen.

All of the ships in our fleet have been produced or at least modified by our shipyard. They have had all the individual boards and beams of the ship molded into one unit, making it smoother and tougher, before being plated with a thin coating of brass and stone. The ships perform much like modern fiberglass and metal hulled sailing ships. They are one piece, far stronger, completely water proof, require no chalking/taring, and are far less likely to develop hanger-ons (barnacles and worms). Additionally their sails are a solid piece (rather than woven fabric) which makes them more effective at catching the wind and not subject to fraying.

[Ship Notes: All of the ships use "Supernatual Quality" for calculating Damage Levels (C&G, p 77). Other than the warships, the Nefs have a soak of 10 and travel 80~100 Miles Per Day (compared to 60~80 for normal ships). The warships have a soak of 13 and can be considerably faster due to enchantments. All ships have cabins for all the crew and passengers, an oddity for the day. The medium trade ships mount a single giant crossbow and the larger mount two, while the warships carry an array of five springal.]

Medium Trade Ship Items

The enchanted items carried by the medium trade ships have already been stated in prior post, so will just be listed here.

Already Stated (per ship): The Enchanted Porter x1, Magical Lantern x2~3

Large Trade Ship Items

This is a collection of items found upon each of the larger trade ships of the fleet. They have a couple of enchanted items not covered before.

Already Stated (per ship): The Enchanted Porter x2, Magical Lantern x3~4, Mystic Woodworkers Tool x1

• The Freshwater Barrel (1x per ship)
  PeAq, Level 20, T/M/I, Base 15 "Destroy Saltiness", RDT 1, 1/day +0
  These are hogshead (a 1/4 tun, 63 gallons) made from a single piece of wood, though seemingly of different types, with fancy engraved banding. When activated it will destroy all of the saltiness in the water it contains, making it safe to drink. This allows the ships to travel far outside of the sight of land without having to devote cargo space to carrying fresh water.

• Slates of Communication (1x per ship)
  PeAq, Level 20, A/C/I, Base 1 "Manipulate", RDT 5, Precise Control 1, 24/day +5
  Actually a linked pair of items (with one at the Consortium headquarters for each ship), they consist of a bone handle with chalk holder on one end and felt pad on the other, tied to a slate by a woven wool cord. When activated, the motions of the handle in relation to the slate are duplicated by its linked item. This allows course text messages, used for the passing of instructions and important news.

Warship Items

These are items carried by the Warships other than the Gelkin. Many of the items are copies of ones originally found on the Gelkin, before more powerful and refined versions were created. The Leviathan is equipped with the originals of those that were made for the Gelkin rather than copies.

Already Stated (per ship): The Enchanted Porter x2, Magical Lantern x5, Mystic Woodworkers Tool x2, Magic Oven x1, Lens of the Eagles x1, The Freshwater Barrel x2, Slates of Communication x6 [1x to Consortium Headquarters and the other Warships]

• The Wavebreaker (1x per ship)
  ReAq, Level 19, T/S/I, Base 4 "Control", RDT 3, Constant +4
  Enchanted within the large ornate figurehead of each ship. This causes incoming waves to gently break before the ship. It only affects waves to the fore and does not begin to affect them until passing the midpoint between waves (when it can touch the current of the next wave). This allows the ship to sail into rough seas and removes much of the rocking motion traditionally found on a ship which aids the accuracy of its springals in battle.

  [Design Notes: While similar to 'Break the Oncoming Wave' (AM5, p 124), it is not a Ward and works by manipulating the oncoming waves. The spell completely stops the water from interacting with its subject, while this effect merely softens the force. If this effect was used on an individual Magus it would not stop them getting wet or being swept away by the raw volume of water while the spell would.]

• The Water Stone (1x per ship)
  ReAq, Level 23, T/C/I, Base 4 "Control Water", RDT 2, Slightly Unnatural 1, MC +5, 6/day +3
  A small slab of polished crystal containing a piece of blue jade, it produces a modified version of 'Push of the Gentle Wave' (AM5, p 124). Mounted in the deck before the ships helm, when active it produces a forceful current around the ship that flows in the desired direction. The direction of the current can be changed while touching the stone and concentrating, otherwise it will continue to flow in the last set direction.

  [Design Notes: While our group accepted Touch, many others might require Voice. We allow Touch because the item is mounted to the ship and cannot be removed without extensive work, making it part of the ships structure.]

• The Wind Stone (1x per ship)
  CrAu, Level 12, T/C/I, Base 2 "Create Wind", RDT 2, MC +5, 6/day +3
  A small slab of polished quartz containing a fan made of pin feathers. Mounted in the deck before the ships helm, when active it projects a wind traveling in line with the base of the fan. By positioning it at the rear of a ship and directing the wind forward, this ensures that as long as it is active the ship is running before a stiff wind.

• The Rigging Stone (1x per ship)
  ReHe, Level 25, T/M/S, Base 3 "Control", RDT 4, U/day +10
  A small slab of polished quartz containing a piece of amber and magnet. Mounted in the deck before the ships helm, when activated it will shift all of the canvas and rigging to the desired configuration. This is similar to 'Man the Sails' (HP, p 70) and requires the user to make a Per + Finesse or Prof: Sailer Stress Roll against Ease Factor 6 to complete the action successfully.

The Gelkin

[Interesting Note: Naming our flagship the Gelkin is an inside joke of our group going back over 30 years. There has been a ship bearing the name in over a dozen games, though normally it is a spaceship rather than a sailing ship. Every version has been a hybrid merchant/war vessel which has traded capacity for stuffing a small collection of the most advanced weaponry we could find into her. If anyone is interested I have write-ups for multiple versions using CP2020, Traveller, Mindjammer, 40K Free Trader, and several other systems.]

A long gleaming black three masted Nef with crab-claw sails, a crow’s nest and an aft castle. The hull itself is a reinforced laminate of varies woods (primarily cypress with blackwood supports) with a thin outer coating of obsidian and a brass belly plate (obsidian & brass are ~2mm thick). A bulwark wall surrounds the outer edge of the ship, flowing up from the hull in one solid piece. The bulwark, combined with the aft castle and crow’s nest, provide protection and improved firing positions for the crew and Myrmidons. It has a cargo capacity of 200 tons, though much of this is normally used for war materials.

Five springal ring the ship, mounted on rotating platforms. These are now her secondary anti-ship weaponry. A stock of Bolts of Relentless Burning, Bolts of Choking Smoke, and Bolts of Wooden Destruction are carried for more difficult targets. There is also an enchantment that protects the ship from siege weapons. The construction of the hull and its reinforcing ribbing make the ship extremely resistant to any damage not deflected by the enchantment. Additionally, two boarding ramps and two long boats are carried.

Unusual for the time, there is cabin space for the full crew and Myrmidons in addition to the cabins for passengers. She is manned by 30 skilled crewmen and 40 Myrmidons, commanded by our most experienced captain. Each of the crew shares a small cabin with one other, allowing comfort on long voyages. Achilles and the captain have their own personal luxurious cabins. There are two luxurious and ten comfortable passenger cabins (luxurious used by Magus & Redcaps, comfortable used by passengers).

While the entire fleet is known for pirate hunting, the Gelkin has gained an especially strong reputation (Pirate Killer 5). Merchants will often change course to follow a path the Gelkin has cleared (since they can't keep up) and pirates will avoid any waters she is rumored to be in. This has unfortunately began to attract the attention of great navel powers.

Already Stated: Sun Stone x1, Fire Guardian x1, Magic Oven x1, The Enchanted Porter x5, Magical Lantern x4, Mystic Woodworkers Tool x2, Mystic Stoneworkers Tool x1, Mystic Metalworkers Tool x1, Ward Against Rot x1, The Enchanted Crane x1, Lens of the Eagles x1, The Wavebreaker x1, Brooch of Watery Breath x2, The Freshwater Barrel x2, Slates of Communication x6 [1x to Consortium Headquarters and the other Warships]

Additionally the Captain wears one of the Ring of Communication linked to a Sphere of Communication in the Council Hall (described in the 8th post). This allows the Magi to communicate with him directly, rather than going through the convoluted path of messages passed through the Consortium or the Covenant's Spymaster. It also allows tracking the ship when it is beyond the displayed area of The Fleet Master's Table, since The Map of Hermes covers far more area than just the Mediterranean.

Note that the Sun Stone only provides light and temperature control below deck. The Magical Lanterns are used above deck and in the long boats. New members of the crew often use some form of blindfold until they grow accustomed to sleeping in the light.

• The Far Fire Stone
  CrIg, Level 50, V/D/I, Base 5 "Fire, +10", RDT 4, +3 Size, U/day +10
  The Gelkin was found to suffer from a lack of sufficient "firepower" when engaging fleets of Barbary pirates and so Magus Alek of Flambeau spent a season creating a new weapon for them. This brass and basalt plate is mounted in the deck before the ships helm, in line with the other enchanted stones. When activated, a target within sight is struck by a large fire (10 paces across) that burns for the next diameter. This is horrifyingly effective against ships, capable of igniting an entire enemy fleet in one a few minutes. And if one blast isn't enough, just CrIg more.

• The Tide Stone
  ReAq, Level 30, T/C/I, Base 4 "Control Water", RDT 2, Very Unnatural 2, MC +5, 24/day +5
  This is an improved version of The Water Stone. Mounted in the deck before the ships helm, when active it produces a forceful current around the ship that flows in the desired direction. This can include wholly unnatural and complex patterns. Examples include a current flowing one direction at the fore and the opposite at the aft to rapidly spin the ship like a top or a current flowing in one direction that is stronger on one side than the other to let the ship both side slip and turn. The current can be changed while touching the stone and concentrating, otherwise it will continue to flow as it was last directed.

• The Gale Stone
  CrAu, Level 30, T/C/I, Base 3 "Create Wind", RDT 2, Slightly Unnatural 1, Complex 1, MC +5, U/day +10
  This is an improved version of The Wind Stone. Mounted in the deck before the ships helm, when active it projects a wind that raises upwards to about mid sail height and then in a direction desired relative to the ship. Normally this is set to be inline with the ship (which it will track with no matter how the ship turns), though it can instead be directed to the side or rear. This would allow it to push into the sails of nearby ships, slowing and possibly capsizing them. It can vary in force from a light breeze to a gale force wind.

• The Master Rigging Stone
  ReHe, Level 30, T/M/S, Base 3 "Control", RDT 4, Complex 1, U/day +10
  This is an improved version of The Rigging Stone. Mounted in the deck before the ships helm, when activated it will shift all of the canvas and rigging to the desired configuration. This is similar to 'Man the Sails' (HP, p 70) and requires the user to make a Per + Finesse or Prof: Sailer Stress Roll against Ease Factor 3 to complete the action successfully. [Complexity to reduce Ease Factor]

• The Ship's Aegis
  ReHe(Te), Level 39, T/S/S, Base 4 "Deflect Attack", RDT 6, Requisite 1, Constant +4
  A small piece of polished quartz containing a miniature bolt made of wood with a magnet head. It is molded into the ship's spine. Designed to defend against powerful attacks, it will deflect the first siege weapon strike upon the ship each round. It will also prevent a ram attack, though the forces involved will deflect both ships. Smaller attacks such as arrows and crossbow bolts are unaffected. Deflected attacks produce a loud gong sound and forceful rippling in the air radiating out from the point of impact (Cosmetic based on Enchanters Sigil).

• The Anchor Stone
  ReHe(AqAu), Level 43, T/C/S, Base 4 "Control", RDT 5, Requisite 2, MC +5, 6/day +3
  A disk of black iron bearing an anchor in brass with tiny spheres of amber, blue jade, and magnet. It is mounted in the deck between the helm and rear bulwark wall. When activated, the ship is held in place as if anchored fore and aft, even in water too deep to use an anchor. It will reduce the force of all wind and wave upon the ship by creating a countering force to them, making the ship much more likely to survive undamaged. Wind and wave of severe or less are deflected, while very severe is reduced to severe. It is powerful enough to overcome the effect of The Tide Stone and The Gale Stone, able to bring the ship quickly to a stop even while those items are active. However any crew not expecting it or loose items will be tossed about.
  [When created the Magus could only muster a Lab Total of 87. Someone with a Lab Total of 100 or who creates it as part of an invested device could give it Unlimited uses per day for the same Vis cost]

• Sails of Silken Steel x3
  MuHe, Level 19, P/S/I, Base 4 "Highly Unnatural", RDT 2, Size 1, Constant +4
  These are the three mainsails of the Gelkin. The sails are made from one piece of laminated cloth, primarily a silked cotton with linen ribbing and hemp edging. Their rigging ropes seamlessly merge into them, with a search finding that there is no stitching anywhere. The sails are dyed a smokey grey and bear a black crest of a roaring dragon in flight. They are enchanted with an effect that makes them unnaturally strong and tough, as resistant to damage as if they were made of steel while retaining their natural flexibility. Their strength combined with the design and bracing of the masts allows the Gelkin to make use of the full strength of The Gale Stone.

• The Motivated Ships Boat x2
  ReHe, Level 20, P/C/I, Base 3 "Control", RDT 1, Size 2, Speed 1, MC +5, 1/day +0
  This pair of long boats are stored in cradles amidship. They have an enchantment based on The Motivated Wagon, designed to propel them along the surface of the water. A small piece of amber in a brass setting is located before the front bench seat. The boat may be controlled while touching the amber and concentrating.

  When activated the boat will move upon the water under its own power, with a maximum speed of a galloping horse (~40 mph/~64 kph). It will continue the last instruction until commanded differently or the effect expires at sunrise/sunset without a user concentrating to maintain it. Complex maneuvers might require a Per + Finesse roll. The boats can move with a maximum Load of 500. It retains it's oars for use as backup and when subtlety is required.

Odd & Ends

This is a grouping for all the other enchanted items possessed by the Covenant. They mostly consist of one-offs or specific purposes which did not fit in with another group. I will include background for them so that their purpose can be understood.

How to Entertain Cats

Our Covenant had a Hermetic Cat problem. The problem was less the actual presence of the pack of cats and more how to keep them entertained so that they do not cause trouble. Having cats which can create magical effects scattered about the Covenant and bored was distracting our Covenfolk, since they are intelligent and were getting into all sorts of trouble. While mundane toys helped, several simple magical devices which could be enchanted in batches proved more effective.

Over the years a system has formed in which an individual cat will be given an enchanted toy. This has lead to something of a fierce competition to be found worthy. It is a status symbol among the cats to have their own "personal toy" and having earned many is a sign of importance. Occasionally a cat will earn a toy more difficult to produce then the below and this is a sign of great importance. A sure sign of friendship is when a cat lets another play with their toy.

Since the system for earning toys has come into place, most of the cats do not use the older unassigned toys. Even ones who are familiars want to earn any they receive, since just having one given to them by their Master without earning it is seen by the other cats as being unworthy. The older unassigned toys (often rougher for wear) are generally left for distracting any kittens and those cats who have not done something worthy of receiving their own.

• Pounce Toy
  ReAn, Level 7, P/S/I, Base 1 "Control", RDT 2, Constant +4
  Normally enchanted into an animal tail or strip of animal hide. When "smacked" the toy will respond by wiggling and attempting to get away for a round (which can and often does include small leaps). So a cat smacks it to start a game and then attempts to pounce on and pin it. The smacking they cause during the pounce continues to activate it and it continues trying to get away. The force it generates is kept low enough to not risk injury to the cat.

• Chase Toy
  ReAn, Level 8, P/S/I, Base 1 "Control", RDT 2, Complex 1, Constant +4
  A variation on the above, these are also normally enchanted into an animal tail or strip of hide though a few are stuffed animals. When "smacked" the toy will flee for a few rounds, fast enough that a cat will have to work to catch up. The toy will change direction and leap into the air as it flees, causing the cat to have to respond quickly to catch it before it stops. How it flees is the same as the animal used in its construction, though those based on birds (stuffed with feathers) will not actually fly.

• Wrestle Buddy
  ReAn, Level 9, P/S/I, Base 1 "Control", RDT 2, Complex 2, Constant +4
  These are generally the largest of the toys, a stuffed animal roughly the same size as a cat. When the "nose" is "smacked" the toy will respond by "wrestling" with the cat who set it off until a round has passed in which the cat is no longer wrestling. Much like the chase toys, the wrestling is based on the animal which contributed the heart of this toy and those using a tuft of cat hair are the most sought after.

• Snuggle Buddy
  Cr(Re)Ig(An), Level 9, P/S/I, Base 2 "Warm", RDT 2, Requisite 1, Constant +4
  These are mostly a small doll or stuffed animal, though a few are a small blanket or pillow. Mostly they are made of wool (cloth and stuffing) though a few are rabbit pelts. They are warm to the touch and want to wrap gently around anything pressing into them. While the cats who have one of these will normally use it to snuggle with when sleeping, it can do light duty for a little "wrestling".

• Cat Ball
  ReHe, Level 9, P/S/I, Base 3 "Control", RDT 2, Constant +4
  These are a small wooden ball which will roll and bounce away in a random pattern when "smacked". The pattern is not truly random but set when it is enchanted, thus some of the older cats with one of these have developed complex games based on knowing how the ball will respond to the next smack.

While a Vis and time sink without true benefit, these items have proven a fun addition to our Saga. They mostly come into play in games where we play familiars or Hermetic cats. A variation of many of the enchantments could be used to produce magical toys for children. Our Magi have actually produced two batches of the Snuggle Buddy specifically for the younger children of the Covenant.

A Gem to Replace the Sun

For nearly a decade our Covenant suffered under a Faerie Curse which made it extremely expensive to feed our population.

The fay who cursed us inhabits a Faerie Regio containing a temple to the Roman gods, linked to the ruins of that temple dating back to when the island was inhabited by Rome nearly a thousand years before. The faerie and his court had taken on the role of the Roman Gods. They were incredibly weak until we settled upon the island and the pagans among our Covenfolk began to worship at the temple. Having several hundred people worshiping and leaving offerings not only restored them to their previous strength but allowed them to become even more powerful. This lasted for over half a century.

Then our Covenant built our Temple of Hermes. Suddenly that large group of worshipers dried to a trickle. Desperate that they would once again be left starving and weak, the Fey cursed our Covenant so that no plants sown by man could feed upon the light of the sun, so that we might starve as they were. The sun appeared pale and sickly within our Regio, its light only enough to sustain the wild growing plants Overnight all of the crops within our Covenant began to wither and die. While we could import food it was a massive increase in our yearly cost. Something had to be done and breaking the curse was proving tricky.

How could we get our crops to grow when the sun would not nourish them?

The Sun Gem (Invested Device, used 10 of 12 spaces)
This block of gold tinted quartz was a short term solution to the curve our Covenant suffered. It is composed from a raw piece of quartz about skull sized, containing a starburst shaped piece of basalt and a small amount of mercury. [Enchanted as a compound item, using the highest cost as total]

1. Light Like the Sun
   CrIg, Level 58, P/C/I, Base 5 "Create Light", RDT 1, Size 5, Complex 1, LT +3, MC +5, U/Day +10
   When commanded, the stone will glow with light equal to direct sunlight. It can illuminate an area 3,000 paces in diameter, though the actual area on the ground is less depending upon how high above the gem is floating. We found a height of about 750~1,000 paces was sufficient to light the entire first tier of our Regio and high enough to not accidentally blind people by looking directly at it. A point of Complexity was added to ensure that the species of light were the same as that of the sun.

2. To Hang the Sun
   ReTe, Level 17, P/S/I, Base 3 "Control", RDT 2, Stone 1, LT +3, Constant +4
   This effect causes the gem to float in the air. There is little force beyond what is needed to support the stone, so it can be moved about by hand with little effort. It will respond to properly spoken commands to move about, normally used to float it up into the sky or return it to near earth.

3. Listen for the Words
   InIm, Level 19, P/S/H, Base 1 "Hearing", RDT 5, Complex 1, Constant +4
   This effect allows the gem to hear and respond to commands (Linked Triggers). It's hearing is focused in a tight downward cone and so it can hear commands spoken to it far further than would be expected (Complex). As long as someone is under it, a command can be heard at 50 times the distance that it could normally be. Even with this effect, a command must be shouted if the stone is higher than about 750 paces and magically enhanced to be heard higher than about 2,500 paces.

Since the curse has been lifted we do not currently have a use for this item. We have considered trading or selling it to a place swathed in darkness, such as underground or a Regio without natural light.

The Armory (New)

This covers the weapons and armor found in the armories, both in the Turb Barracks and the Vault. As previously noted these are created with a HR which allows the Guidelines in Parma Fabula (4th Edition, p.4~6) to be used. Weapons enchanted in this way are not stopped by Parma Magica/Magic Resistance, except for those using the “Enemy Specific Enchantment”.

Many of our Magi can enchant 4 or 5 of the Level 20 in a season with Labtext, which would allow us to equip most of the force with enchanted gear if we set our mind to it. However just getting higher quality gear is far more efficient and so the enchanted items are limited just to elite personnel.

Forces

The Covenant's Turb consist of a Centurion (Captain), a century of legionaries, two platoons of myrmidons (marines), and a platoon of Custos (warriors, scouts, healers, shield grogs, etc). Additionally all of the able bodied men spend a day practicing spear formations per season. Almost all of the covenfolk have some degree of skill in wrestling and brawling, thanks to the annual festival which has been ongoing for over a century. The actual number of martial personnel has nearly doubled over the last decade and many residents believe the Magi know some trouble is coming. [Prevailing Loyalty +5]

The century is 100 legionaries strong, normally broken down into three platoons for training and guard shifts. Among their number are 60 shield (Long Sword, Heater Shield, Full Mail), 28 archers (Composite Bow, Short Sword or Axe, Partial Mail), and 12 assault (Great Sword or Pole Axe, Full Mail). They additionally have access to other weapons such as spears, long spears, and axes which they will often carry when fulfilling roles those are appropriate to.

The two platoons of myrmidons are each 30 men strong in addition to 6 heros. Among each platoon are 20 warriors (Spear, Short Sword, Reinforced Leather, Infantry Shield), supported by 10 archers (Composite Bow, Short Sword, Reinforced Leather). The heros form a hand selected squad that accompanies Achilles. The platoons rotate between serving on the Gelkin and at home, so only half are available at any given time.

The Custos platoon consist of 15 warriors (6 Shield, 3 Assault, 3 Archer) and 4 scouts, along with nominally all of the Shield Grogs and a collection of support personnel (healers, supply, etc) that normally operate separately.

If fully called up and formed, the militia would consist of roughly 200 spear men (Long Spear, Partial Heavy Leather) and 100 archers (Composite Bow, Partial Heavy Leather). However calling them all up would cripple the Covenant and so would require truly dire circumstances.

Stockpile

All of the Covenant weapons and armor are Superior or Excellent +1 quality thanks to a combination of their own crafting capabilities and a willingness to spend serious silver. There are a couple of handful spares of each item and capacity to acquire more, which allows further expansion if needed though the maintenance cost is getting beyond what we can internally support.
[44.2£ a year, verse 43£ of cost savings. A decade ago the cost was ~35£ and the potential cost savings was 38£. We added a new smith and if we keep expanding will add another armorer.]

Additionally every "adult" in the Covenant has a pattern welded dagger (Superior, Excellent +1 for elites) that they receive as part of their coming of age ceremony. As a sign of adulthood, they are worn everywhere. The Covenant has a stock of several hundred Superior and a score Excellent +1 to give out at the annual ritual to those who have come of age or joined the Covenant.
[Stock is enough for all the children, plus several dozen for outsiders joining us.]

Elite Enchanted Gear

These are the enchanted arms and armor of the Centurion, Custos, and Heros. The Centurion, archers, and scouts also each have a short sword (Excellent +1), with the Centurion also carrying the Rod of Command [stated earlier].

• The Sword Refined x15
  ReTe, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
  This enchantment is designed to use on "swords", enchanted to have exceptional balance and grants +1 Attack, +1 Defense, and +1 Damage. There are 6 Long Swords (Custos Shield), 6 Short Swords (Heros), and 3 Great Swords (Custos Assault), all of Excellent +2 quality.

• The Bulwark Shield x14
  ReHe, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
  This enchantment is designed to be used on "shields", enchanted to support much of their own weight making them light and nimble granting +1 Defense and -2 Load. There are 8 Heater (Shield Custos, Centurion, spare) and 6 Infantry (Heros), all of Excellent +2 quality.

• The Great Bow x8
  ReHe(An), Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
  This enchantment is designed to be used on "composite bows", enchanted to have more power than their draw weight would imply granting +1 Attack and +2 Damage. They are composite bows (4x Scout, 3x Archer Custos, 1x spare) of Excellent +2 quality.

• Leather Like Steel x10
  MuAn, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
  This enchantment is designed to be used on "leather" armor, enchanted to be unnaturally tough, giving +3 Soak. They are all Partial Reinforced Leather armor (4x Scout, 6x Heroes) of Excellent +2 quality.
  [Note: Our Redcaps and the Gelkin Captain were each gifted with a suit of this armor.]

• Mail Refined x15
  MuTe, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
  This enchantment is designed to be used on "mail" armor, enchanted to be unnaturally tough, giving +3 Soak. There are 10 full mail (6x Custos Shield, 3x Custos Assault, 1x Centurion) and 5 partial mail (Custos Archer, spares) of Excellent +2 quality.

Council Enchanted Gear

There is a small collection of items enchanted just for the members of the High Council. Since they have ceremonial importance they are the property of the Covenant and so would have to be left behind if a Magi were to leave.

Robes of Landen x11
MuAn, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
These are the ceremonial garb of the High Council. There are eight robes and three half robes (toga). They are luxurious satin robes made from silk and fine wool, silver white in color with the Landen crest. They are all Excellent quality and provide +3 Soak, though this is more to ensure they are always in pristine condition rather than the protection of the wearer.
[Magi wear robes, Redcaps and Autocrat wear toga]

Dagger of the Magi x8
MuTe, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
This collection of daggers is enchanted to be unnaturally sharp, gaining +3 Damage. There are also three unenchanted versions carried by the Redcaps and Autocrat. All are made from fanciful pattern welded steel with gold fittings and a sapphire in the pommel, Excellent +2 quality.
[Notes: These are carried by members of the High Council as a mark of office, instead of their age dagger. Members of the Low Council carry a similar dagger of fanciful pattern welded steel with silver fittings, Excellent +1. The Autocrat carries both, since she is the only member of both Councils.]

Champion Enchanted Gear

While technically his property, much of Achilles equipment was gifted to him from the Covenant in his role as Champion and so I have included them. He also has the enchantments he would gain as a Redcap, though those actually are his property.

• Sword of Achilles
  ReTe, Level 35, Base 30, PF Constant +5
  A Roman Gladius of fanciful pattern welded silvery steel, with glassy black fittings and a blackwood handle. It was forged from meteoric steel, resulting in the blade having a silvery mirror like finish with fine black patterning. The fittings are obsidian over bronze, polished to a high sheen. It is enchanted to be exceptionally light and well balanced (+1 Attack, +1 Defense, +2 Damage, -1 Load) which combined with its Excellent +2 quality makes it a formidable weapon.

• Spear of Achilles
  ReTe(He), Level 35, Base 30, PF Constant +5
  A spear with a fanciful pattern silvery steel blade, blackwood haft, and glassy black fittings. It uses the same techniques as the sword for the blade and fittings. It is enchanted to be exceptionally light and well balanced (+1 Attack, +1 Defense, +2 Damage, -1 Load) which combined with its Excellent +2 quality makes it a formidable weapon.

• Shield of Achilles
  Re(In)He(Te), Level 30, Base 25, PF Constant +5
  A large Greek (infantry) shield. Made of alternating layers of magically laminated hardwood, the face plated with bronze and coated with a thin layer of obsidian before polishing to a lustrous sheen. It has been enchanted to be exceptionally light and well balanced (+2 Defense, -3 Load) which combined with its Excellent +2 quality makes makes it a powerful defense.

• Achilles Armor
  MuAn, Level 25, Base 20, PF Constant +5
  A suit of ancient Greek style reinforced leather armor, lacquered black and with glossy black trim (obsidian over bronze). It has been enchanted to be exceptionally tough (+4 Soak) and is of Excellent +2 quality.

• Achilles Tunic
  MuAn, Level 20, Base 15, PF Constant +5
  A dark blue Greek style tunic made from silk and wool. It is stitched with complex geometric patterns that glitter in the light. It serves as padding under armor or clothing when combat is possible but not expected. It is enchanted to be tough (+3 Soak) and of Excellent +2 quality.

• Helm of Achilles
  InHe, Level 24, T/S/H, Base 2 "Locate", RDT 6, Constant
  An ancient Greek style full helm, made from obsidian enameled steel with a dark blue mane. It has been enchanted to provide its wearer with an effect identical to 'Shriek of the Impending Shafts' (Core, p.138). This provides a +9 Defense against wooden weapons (including those with wood shafts or hafts), as well as the ability to automatically dodge such weapons fired from more than ten paces away. The helm is of Excellent +2 quality.

• Achilles Cloak
  ReAu(Ig), Level 24, T/S/I, Base 4 "Ward", RDT 3, +1 Ignem, Constant
  A dark blue half cloak, stitched with complex geometric patterns and mid thigh in length. It has been enchanted with the effect 'Traveller's Comfort' (MoH, p.24), protecting Achilles from rain and heat.
