In Summer 1014 the magi start serious planning to construct a chapter house in the Oak Circle. I start this thread mainly to record actual decisions and constructions as they are made. Please post the plans you have decided on. Feel free to continue discussions elsewhere, even though I won't ban discussions from the thread, but I won't consider anything final until I see it here ...
The chapter house is part of the covenant at Ungulus
This thread should be given a similar structure as the Ungulus thread.
Descriptors of the Oak Circle Area:
-- 200 paces from Cauldron's Fall.
-- The marsh/swamp area around the grove is 150-200 yards in width
-- The Oak Circle is a near perfect circle of about 50 paces across.
-- The aura within the Circle is 7.

The Hearth of the Covenant (Cath’rinne)
Despite the name, this item is actually a one foot diamater hickory-and-brass carving of a sun, made to be hanged on a wall. If the hearth touches a wall, it produces a warm heat that rapidly spreads through the structure to envelop it. Any laboratory in the structure receives the Magical Heating virtue (Free, +1 Health, +1 Aesthetics, +1 Ignem). If used in a general covenant area, the maximum cost saving is 5 MP per year for consumables. Effect Level 25: CrIg 20 spell (Base 2, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +3 Structure), +3 environmental trigger, +2 three uses per day
Chest of preservation (Sionag)
CrAn(He) 20
This wooden box is designed to preserve the flavor and freshness of any food placed inside. While it won't improve the quality or restore faded food to its original qualities, it does guarantee that any food placed inside will come out in exactly the same condition. It's big enough to store just butchered game, plus a few extra vegetables. (About 3 fts x 2fts x 2 fts)
Note that the effect only lasts within the chest. Any food taken out will expire at its natural rate.
(item lvl 24 : base 2, touch +1, group +2, sun+2, +1 requisite; lvl+4 truly constant)
The Marksman's Bow : Rego Herbam 15 (Base 3, +3 Sight)(+5 levels for 24 uses a day) A beautifully carved and crafted bow of ash and yew, which is enchanted so that arrows fired are unerringly directed by the bowman. When activated by command word arrows can travel as far as the bowman can see, and cannot miss, but are also resisted by MR. When activated the arrows inflict +10 damage. Bow shape grants a lab bonus of +5 for "destroying things at a distance". (Held by Turold. From Thom's Dowry)
Charged items
Wand of Blunting a charge
MuTe 20
R: Voice, D: Diam, T: Group
(Based on Blunting the Iron's Bite, MoH p. 50). This wooden wand (made from Linden wood) is activated with a verbal command word and gesture pointing towards the direction of the target. When activated, the effect warps and blunts the blades of a group hopelessly. The affected weapons has their total damage (including Attack Advantage) reduced to half (round up). The weapons return to their undamaged state once the Duration expires. This enchantment was designed without Penetration, as such, these weapons are unable to penetrate Parma Magica or the might of a creature for the duration of the spell.
(Base 1, +2 voice, +1 Diam, +2 affect metal, +2 group) - 4 charges
