Inspired by a recent community challenge within the Alexandrian community.
6 of each for your convenience, all of them something that could fit a location or a faction in my ongoing sandbox.
Magical Trinkets
Spearhead - Copper, Rusted
- Anything the spearhead can be attached and fastened snugly onto will grow to the perfect length of a spear in relation to it's wielder's height
- Once unfastened, whatever the spearhead was attached to will rust away
Black Lotus Flower - Delicate, Quick to wither, Addictive
- Placing a single petal underneath one's tongue will cause their consciousness to slowly drift out of their body and slip into the space between planes
- Placing two petals underneath one's tongue will make the effect instantaneous
- Any more petals would kill a mortal man, severing the connection between their consciousness and body irreparably
- If dried and ground into powder, will instead forcibly pull the consciousnesses of other beings into one's body which can potentially grant them power comparable to a god for a fleeting moment
Everburning Candle - Otherworldly, Self-sustaining
- As the wick burns from the top, more appears at the bottom of the candle encased in candle-wax
- The bottom of the candle gets progressively wider as this "replacement" of wicker takes place (the candle is cone shaped)
- This can cause candle holders to get encased in wax or things to get crushed under the candle's increasing weight
Yellow Gunpowder - Susceptible to dampness, Exotic, Animalistic smell
- When burnt will explode as normal, but procures a roar like that of a lion instead of the noise of a tearing explosion
- Being caught in an explosion of this substance will leave victims mauled as if assaulted by wild beasts
Hog Bristle Brush - Old, Worn, Slightly oily
- This brush is capable of extracting pigments out of things with it's strokes
- When dipped into oil the stolen pigment will seep out of the brush and onto the liquid
Wicker Effigy - Small, Fragile, Pagan
- Grows increasingly warmer as wild beasts or monsters draw close, hot enough to burn a hole through a pocket or sear flesh when within few metres of such beings
Curious Baubles
- Silver cutlery set, anything eaten with them has a slight metallic aftertaste
- Stuffed and mounted horse head, always in minisculely different pose than when it was last observed
- Small coil of spiderweb the thickness of string, and just as easy to handle without breaking
- Prayer beads that appear always covered in shadows despite any nearby light sources
- Old misshapen glass bottle, covered in barnacles and filled with seawater
- Small travel bible sized book with no title, pages inside are covered in rows upon rows of small holes (braille writing)
