Equipment
(Some additional work to convert these from ArM4 stats is still needed.)
Talisman: Sword of Vigilance
Description: When not in use, this sits in an unassuming iron truncheon form, about a two feet long and in a slender sheath at Perditia's belt. To the outsider looking at it, it would be a curiosity. When transformed into a sword, it resembles those carried by the ancient Greek hoplites of yore. The blade is leaf shaped, flaring in at the top 2/3s of the leaf, and slimmer by the hilt. It is short sword sized.
Talisman Bonuses:
+4 Harm human or animal bodies
Invested Powers:
Spirit of the Sword in the Iron Truncheon (MuTe 15), Unlimited uses
Allows Perditia to transform this sword between its sword form and a cubit-long rod which looks little more than a metal wand.
Blade of the Virulent Flame (CrIg 20), Unlimited uses
A brilliant flame ignites along the sword's blade, inflicting an additional +6 damage. It can also start normal fires
(*) Pilum of Fire (CrIg 20), 24 uses/day
By pointing the blade at the target, Perditia can launch a 2 foot long jet of fire, doing +25 damage, -1 damage for every pace between her and the target.
(*) The Wound That Weeps (PeCo 15), 3 uses/day
Pointing the weapon at the victim, a large wound opens on his or her body. Though not deep, it bleeds profusely. Target must make a Stamina stress roll every round. A botch yields two lost Fatigue levels. A 2 or less, one Fatigue Level is lost. A 3 to 8, no Fatigue is lost. On a 9+, the bleeding stops. An active target receives -3 to the stress roll, while a stationary target receives +1. A Chirurgy stress roll of 6+ stops the bleeding.
(*) Hoplite's Smite (PeCo 25), 3 uses/day
Range: Near; Duration: Momentary; Target: Individual
Causes massive damage to the target (3 body levels) in the form of broken bones and tissue damage. The target with clench in pain, as if suddenly crushed.
Hinderance of the Traitorous Magus (PeVi 20)
Reduces the casting total of the targeted magus -10.
Note:
- This sword is attuned for use by Perditia only. In all other hands, it reverts to its truncheon state, and cannot be activated
- Spells marked with the (*) are enchanted to use Perditia's current Arts, and not just the spell level of the item
Silver Ring of Armour
Description: This is another unassuming invested item created for Perditia by her lover, Merriden of Verditius. It is a silver ring with an armour scale motif. Also inscribed on it is the symbol of House Flambeau and the Order's snake triangle sigil. On the inside of the ring are the Verditius runes for Creo and Terram.
Invested Powers:
Silvery Scales of the Hoplite (CrTe(Pe) 30), 2 uses/day This covers Perditia in a silvery armour with Prot 10, Enc 2. An additional effect renders the armor weightless, though it still retains its bulk. It lasts for Sun duration, at which point it may be reactivated when Parma is recast.
