Kindred
Kindred weapons are identical weapons bound together by
magic so that they share their enhancements with one another.
Kindred weapons usually have identical markings, or give off
a soft, almost imperceptible hum when in close proximity to
one another.

kindred weapon quality may only be placed on two
weapons of the same type and size. When both weapons
are wielded by a character with the Two-Weapon
Fighting Feat, the special qualities (such as
flaming or keen) of one weapon is applied to both.
Example:
A +1 flaming, kindred short sword and its twin
a +2, keen, kindred short sword are treated as
a +1, flaming, keen, kindred short sword and a
+2, flaming, keen, kindred short sword respectively.
A
kindred weapon may only have a total enhancement

or disadvantages to wearing armor of its type,

along previously hidden seams and collapses flat
against the wearer’s arm, resembling a slightly
bulky bracer. In its collapsed form, the shield

in sharp edges that taper down into shallow impressions
lined with polished iron. The center of the stick is thin
enough to wrap one’s hand around.
On
command, the indentations expel planes of force
which create the shape of a long bow and Zai-unga
transforms into a brilliant bow of light which
illuminates a 30ft radius around Zai-unga
with bright light. In this form, Zai-unga
is a +2 longbow of distance. Zai-unga

is placed, a wand of mount may take the form of a set of reigns,
and wand of prestidigitation may take the form of a colorful
handkerchief.

Extra-dimensional
House
Extra-dimensional houses are somewhat of a convenience
item among the continent’s financial elite. While the
extra-dimensional houses contained within aren’t as
impressive as mansions, their portability makes them quite
useful for wealthy travelers.
Placing
the intricate amulet that serves as a key against
a solid surface conjures into being a doorway
leading into an extra-dimensional space that takes
the form of a mid-sized house. This house can
have any floor plan the item’s creator chooses
as long as it does not exceed 120 cubic feet.
The house has running water and is normally 70
degrees, but the owner is able to alter the temperature
between 0 and 100 degrees as a free action.
Activating
the door to an extra-dimensional house takes 1
minute. The doorway created by the key remains
in place as long as the owner of the item wills
it, though it cannot be removed as long as the
door remains open or the owner and the key are
inside the extra-dimensional house. Only one doorway
can be created at a time. The door is protected
by an arcane lock spell.
Upon
creation, the house is unfurnished; the owner
of the key must provide furnishing. A extra-dimensional

Overwand
An overwand is a powerful magic item, typically used as siege
weaponry or as mounted weaponry on vehicles. As such, most
appear as long, thick cylinders with a finely ground crystal
ball at one end and a recessed slot for insertion of wands
in the other. They often feature harnesses and rotating or
tilting mounts to keep crew in place and allow them to easily
choose targets.
To
use an overwand, a character inserts a wand with
at least 1 charge into the recessed slot. While
the wand still has remaining charges, a character
who can use the wand can use the overwand as if
it was the wand, pointing it at targets and activating
it as if it were the inserted wand. The overwand
augments all spells cast from the wand with the
effect listed.
When
a wand’s charges are spent, it is destroyed.
Inserting or removing a wand is a move action
that provokes an attack of opportunity. |
