ALL OF BILLY'S STUFF
- Rowling The Familiar
Description: A barred owl imbued with higher intelligence and a comprehensive understanding of the magics and arcane lore that Billy himself is aware of. This owl serves as Billy's Familiar
- Scoob the Dog
Keyword(s): Fear/Mutation
Description: A cute young mutt with a limp.
Effect: Scoob the Dog has a personal Cinder pool of 5d6 that can only be used for creating a Fear effect. Those it is used against can roll Cinder to resist, but if they fail, Scoob will appear to mutate into a frightening dog-beast only they can see.
- Wardstones x0
Keyword(s): Shielding
Description: A smooth stone ideal for skipping across water. A single rune banded on its surface.
Effect: A wardstone can be activated with a successful roll of 4d6 or the user's native Cinder pool, whichever is higher. Upon activation, the wardstone instantly creates a rectangular shield large enough to protect the person using the stone. The shield has 1 Luck; if it is expended, the wardstone is exhausted and reverts to a mundane stone.
The shield is visible as an oily shimmer in the air but is transparent.
With a successful Cinder roll, the wardstone can be deactivated without expending its Luck. Those without a Cinder pool cannot deactivate a wardstone.
With an exceptional success, while performing this ritual (specifically the spell as written by Billy Broder), an arcanist can create up to three wardstones per spell. With a complete success, roll a 1d2 for the number of wardstones created.
- Cloaking Band
Keyword(s): Illusion
Description: A band of metal too big to be a ring and too small to be a bracelet, easy to bend and doesn't fully connect to itself. However it would fit an owl's leg perfectly.
Effect: When worn, the Cloaking Band allows the wearer to blend into the background and escape notice, either with camouflage, or by creating a distraction when spotted. Being a full illusion, this can target any of the five senses but has no effect on True Sight, or Third Eye. Likewise, the band cannot hide from magic-sensing abilities, in whatever way that might manifest.
The effect can be bypassed with a successful Cinder roll, if the character performing the roll knows they are looking for an illusion or other magical trick.
- Billy's Pistol
Keyword(s): Partitioning
Description: A Ruger Standard, runes and markings adorning the barrel and grip. Otherwise appears mundane.
Effect: When fired, the bullets' kinetic force has been split and reduced, hitting their target with less force, reducing the likelihood of an impact penetrating skin and muscle. The partitioned kinetic force is expelled with the bullet casing and when the hammer pops the receiver out when the magazine is empty.
** As the runes and markings are on the outside of the revolver, Billy will need to repeat the ritual as the revolver experiences long-term exposure to sunlight over time, and the magic fades. This can be done without submitting another request.
Billy's Pistol has become inert due to lack of use.
- Seaweed Binding x0
Keyword(s): Mutation, Plants, Growth
Description: A tightly wrapped ball of seaweed. It smells strongly of brine. When thrown, the ball expands into a seaweed net to wrap around its target, trapping it. It is single-use and rots away a while after being thrown.
Effect: On a successful Cinder roll, the Seaweed Bindings can be thrown at a target and expands to envelop and trap them. It will trap them for 3 posts unless they roll a successful Strike roll, which lets the target tear through or unravel the bindings and escape. After being thrown, it cannot be used again, but the ritual makes three of them. The Seaweed Bindings can work on any of the Paths, due to their magical (and salty) nature.
