Item(s): A0765, A0484, A0434

Classification: Minor Relics, Akenian (3rd Aeon)

Agent: Mucky Paws

 

After assisting the university in unsealing a door to a previously unexplored sub-basement of their primary faculty, the staff allowed us to claim three of the items found within for further study. These are:

• A0765, designated "Mana Visor Helm"
• A0484, designated as "Magi-Gunblade"
• A0434, designated as "Glide Mantle"

The three items have the characteristic visual flourish of Akenian equipment and are in working condition thanks to being primarily made of sungold and other superior materials. While all three are unique in manufacture, they follow a similar styling of equipment connected to Mage Knights, so it can be reasonably concluded they belonged to a retainer of one that was highly skilled and did not have magical capabilities of their own.

Mana Visor Helm

This ornate helm includes a crystal visor that allows the wearer to see the flow of concentrated mana, allowing them to visually confirm spells are present or being cast. Presumably, a skilled combatant can use this increased awareness to their advantage.

• Anyone wearing the Mana Visor Helm is able to see the flow of mana. This should be noted during Exploration.
• In addition, the Helm grants the wearer a +2 (Minor) Bonus on Insight and Deftness Rolls for avoiding a Magical Ability or effect.
• COST: N/A, Slots: 1
  

Magi-Gunblade  

An elegant weapon suitable for both close quarters combat and sniping. The built in spell canister also meant the weapon could be used even if one did not have any physical ammunition on hand.  While kept in good condition, the handle is quite worn, demonstrating this was well used.

• The Magi-Gunblade is a Master/Large Mechanical Missile Combo Weapon made from sungold.
  
• Rather than normal ammunition, the Magi-Gunblade utilizes Spell Canisters, a specialized form of Spell Engine. One of these is placed in a chamber between the blade and grip.
• Spell Canisters come in many variations, but two examples are..
• Infinity Shot: The most common type of Spell Canister. These draw in ambient mana and compress it into a projectile. This process begins again the moment the Magi-Gunblade is fired. This means while the weapon must still be "reloaded" once used, this process happens automatically and the wielder can act normally in the turn while the canister charges.
• Wide Shot: This Canister unleashes a blast of energy that bursts into many deadly fragments. When used, the wielder's attack is made against everyone occupying a targeted Area, hitting anyone whose defense the result matches or exceeds. Once used, this canister must be recharged in the same way as a normal small spell engine.
  
• Spell Canisters take an action to replace in the middle of a fight or perilous situation.
• COST: N/A, 2 Slots 

 

Glide Mantle

A grand cape that billows dramatically when worn, but manages to never get in the way while doing so. This sort of thing was considered very stylish in ancient Akenia. It also grants its bearer the ability to ride the wind.

• The Glide Mantle grants its wearer the sage ability Practical Flight as long as the wind is present. This is generally the case outdoors, though it might also be the case within certain structures (like a cavern an outside breeze carries through) at the GM's discretion. 
• Cost: N/A, 1 Slot
