Wondrous Item
Basic Rules
While the creation of Wondrous Items does not follow the same rules as most production skills nor the intricacies of Ritual casting, they do have a few similarities. For a character to craft items with this skill they must first have access to a Reliquary. Second for each item that is to be crafted the character must have the Formula Scroll for the item and all the necessary Components. Lastly it takes down time to create items; the time will vary based on the Recipe being used, this time must be spent at a Reliquary where the player must roleplay making the item; by default, the times are 20 minutes for Minor, 40 minutes for Standard, and 60 minutes for Major. Once complete the character must find a marshal in NPC camp and hand them the Scroll and Components, the marshal will verify the character’s skill. They will be issued a temporary Magic Item tag that will expire at the close of the current event, they will need to turn the tag in at the end of the event and will receive the permanent tag no later than the beginning of the next event they attend. Turning this in can be done by taping or stapling the tag to your character sheet when turned into the box at the end of the event.
In addition to creating magical items a player can use this knowledge to research and discover a random Formula Scroll. To do so the player goes to NPC camp and informs the marshal they are going to do Wondrous Item Research and then must NPC a shift equal to the tier of scroll they are attempting to get, 1 hour per tier; and must turn in 1/2/3 Rare Components and use 2/4/6 Knowledge Points (Magic), these are consumed in the creation of the Recipe. At the end of their shift they will receive a random Formula of the appropriate tier. Characters with the Scholar Background, Knowledge (Magic)Rank 5, and Knowledge (Magic) as one of their favored Knowledge (Area) skills can research 2 formulas at one time. A character may also use this time to copy a formula they already have instead or make two copies if they meet all the requirements mentioned for researching 2 recipes at the same time.
Formulas
While all formulas are somewhat unique, they all follow certain guidelines; each scroll will list the tier of skill required to craft, as well as the components required and what the stats of the completed item will be.
Formula Scrolls are one use items and are destroyed in the creation of the item, and there is no way to copy them. The following are the items that can be created with this ability. More will be added as time goes on and a player may use their time to research new ones.
Magic Item Rules
Some magical items will allow the user to emulate a Skill or Spell, this will either be an Always On, while the item is being correctly used, or will have effects that have a (x #) this is the number of times it can be used each reset. Additionally, the use of any magic item is considered Active.
Activates
Items with once ever or per reset uses have to be activated to generate the listed effect. To do so the character must be able to speak In Game and must be able to complete the necessary locomotion to deliver the spell. To use the item, the character must call “Activate Magic <Effect>”.
Magic Item Limits
Magic items that are wearable gear must be done so for their effects to work, such as armors, weapons, rings, necklaces, and so on. This also means there is a limit to the number of certain magic items that can be used at a given time. The following are the items that are limited:
· Armor- Limit 1
· Weapon- Limit 1 in per hand
· Rings- Limit 2
· Necklace or Cloak- Limit 1
