Seth Caerellius * Magic Items

Gauntlet of Despair

Description:
A steel plate gauntlet of a decorative nature, the tips of the fingers ending in claw-like extensions, their undersides sharpened into blades. The Palms of the gauntlet are leather essentially a glove attached to the inside of the metal gauntlet, steel bands bracing and binding the top portion to the palm. The plates are decorated with vague etchings of Celtic knotwork. On the largest plate, that which covers the over-side of the hand, there is an insignia of an arcane black dragon coiled--perhaps impaled upon--the blade of a great, wicked-looking sword. The finish is untarnished, unblemished in any way, as though it could not become dull or damaged.

Diablerie Decomposition:
LoD: 50-successes-Critical Power-440-Level 35-to break enchantment
Level: 35 (including factors) 35 d6+35/350
Effect: With utterance of the command "vae inimicus," providing the gauntlet is in physical contact with the victim, it causes the victim to rot rapidly and, once they are dead, plunges their soul into the river of souls in hell, which prevents resurrection.
Damage: If effect succeeds, death occurs. The soul of the victim is plunged into the river of souls in hell, if the soul is not captured or prevented from being plunged. The river of souls prevents resurrection, not many mages can bring souls back from the river of souls.

Splintering Bones:
LoD: 39 successes-Critical Power of 309-Level 27-to break enchantment
Level: 27 - 27 d6+27/270
Effect: With the use of the command "ossis poena," (also with physical contact) a searing agony races like quick fire through the bones of the victim, beginning at the point of contact, and spreading through the body. The horrific pain that this causes completely disrupts concentration and may very well land a man of decent pain tolerance on the floor, the feeling as though his bones had splintered like shrapnel in shards of pain into his muscles. The effect will continue until physical contact is removed.
Damage: 54-Normal-270-Critical

Necromantic Seal:
LoD: 51 successes-Critical Power of 431-Level-38-(to break seal. THEN beat the LoD rolls for each enchantment)
Level: 38 - 38 d6+38/380
Effect: Protects the enchantments laid on the gauntlet from being removed. Factored by Seal and protective commands. Combines Power of Seal, Mark and Protective Commands, which includes Immutable Strength-Gauntlet and its enchantments cannot be altered or shattered.

Gauntlet of Desolation

Description:
The right-handed twin of the Gauntlet of Despair.

Summon Ally: The soul of a soldier named Bob is bound to the gauntlet. At the wielder's bidding, Bob will possess any corpse and fight for the wielder. Bob will inhabit the body he possesses until the body is killed or the effect is dispelled. Bob's soul is immune to spirit and mental attack or tampering unless the power of the gauntlet is broken.

Mental Checks:
Willpower: 19 (his will is completely dominated by the gauntlet, however)
Intelligence: 14
Constitution: 18
Wisdom: 13
Charisma: 12
Instincts: 16
Logic: 15

Combat Levels:
Swordsmanship: 21
Archery: 15
Hand to hand Combat: 25

All other stats are determined by the body possessed.

Transducer Shield:
Level: 38
Localised magical shield which emanates from the gauntlet approximately two feet in diameter. Blocks physical weapons and projectile magical attacks. May be extended into a full shield, encompassing wielder, however, when full shield is engaged, any attack made by the wielder will be negated. When force meets this shield, the shield will absorb and convert the energy of the attack, whether kinetic (=damage) or transcendental (=power of spell). Half of the energy converted will be used to fortify the shield (+1/2 level of attack/spell), the other half will be rebounded upon the attacker as a counter attack. Wielder may choose to convert the full power accumulated by the shield into an attack, however, the shield would be spent. Levels are not cumulative and reset when dispelled or spent.

The Phoenix Stone

Info: 35 d6+30. Stone is transluscent and looks as if still flames have been captured inside. Stone imbeds itself in the chest of the one who claims it. Found in the heart of very ancient red dragons. When the stone bearer feels passionately motivated, they shift into the Phoenix Incarnate, which includes flesh armor, feathered wings of fiery colours, clawed talons, and eyes of the flame (fiery looking eyes).
Phoenix Armour: AC: +1 per success, x ten on a crit. Flesh armour with gold scales that are etched like feathers. Shift into armour Once a Day.
Pyrokinetics: when in Phoenix form, incarnate can command these powers with their hands at level of Stone;

Flame Hands: flames erupt from the palms of the hands which can burn or catch fire to whatever they touch. Flames do anything from mild to serious damage (1 d6-Max Level damage) depending on the force with which they are focused.

Fireball: at level of stone, range up to +1 yard per success, x ten on a crit, aggravated damage +1 turn per ace, spreads out in an area of +1 yard radius per success.

Firestream: continuous stream of fire, like a flamethrower, range of up to 5 feet, +1 foot per success, aggravated damage +1 turn per ace, flame disperses when incarnate is distracted or takes another action.

Inferno: flames erupt from hands to form a huge fireball which spreads out rapidly to engulf anything within an enclosed area, or in the open, an area of 25 yards, +1 yard per success, x ten on a crit. These flames can be so hot that they incinerate everything they engulf completely. A dangerous power to weild. Aggravated damage and critical aggravated damage if not deadly. Those on fringes (within six yards) take normal aggravated damage.

Fire and Heat immunity: not affected by fire or heat in this form. Fixed immunity, cannot be negated.

Buckler of Negation

Description: (AC: 80 on blocks) negates all manner of disease and necromancy in an effective radious around the weilder (of up to +10 yards, +1 yard per ace), and the shield also causes telekinetic damage and staggers on impact (with shield bash, -1 additional action, -1 per ace).

Vambraces of Dampening

Description: (AC 150 arm blocks) could be worn with gauntlets because of the thin but exceptionally strong diamthrill cloth they were made of, having more an appearance of gloves than actual vambraces, while protecting the arms as vambraces did. Their power was absorbing energy, thus lowering damage and dampening spells, even wards, (by power of roll). They had to be struck together to activate their power, at what time elaborate black runes appeared on their sleeves, and struck together again, they were deactivated.

Sword of Siaph

Description: (+138 damage, +480 damage on a crit, +1 HB balance, +magic damage, strength of the dragon; 694) An elemental sword with the power of ice, electricity, storm, morphing, and fire. The weilder had only to call out the elemental attack desired and the sword would execute it. The command had to be clear and loud. Sarku had often joked that his sword was deaf. Yes, the weapon was Sarku's creation, but the moment Seth picked it up, the blade and the elements in it bonded to Seth, the spirit of the blade becoming one with him. It was a sentient weapon, infused with three spirits which had been forged into the blade; a spirit of storm, of change and of fire. Seth had to be careful, because if the sword became too highly charged (3 elemental crits in a row) the spirits would flow into Seth to possess him and change him into an elemental spirit of storm, change and fire, as all three spirits joined inside of him as one. Seth would no longer be Seth while possessed, but become Trioress. Trioress would only flow back into the sword when the battle was done and the sword was sheathed, a matter of his will overcoming theirs (which was equal to his). Even when no elemental powers were invoked, the sword delved a lot of damage as the very essence of the elements flowed through the blade to send out damaging vibrations on a hit.

Wraith Cloak

Description: (AC: 150) Black Diamthrill Cloak, Light weight, thin but very strong metal cloth, reflective surface allows wearer to 'blend in' with +5 stealth.

Resist Mental Attacks 95%
