Wood HearthStones

These are the Stones of Wood and life, almost always green or brown in color and unrefined in form. Their powers are vast and tied to life or to death, often involving plants or animals.

• back to HearthStones/Telgar

Level 1

Weed Comb

 Manse •
 Trigger: Contact with hair

The Weed Comb draws its name from two things: first it looks much like a comb roughly shaped from brown stone and second it causes hair to grow with the speed of the most horrible weeds. When the stone or any item it is set in is touched to living hair the Comb can encourage its growth to an astounding pace. For every minute of contact the hair grows by two inches. If its master wishes to do so, he may spend 1 mote when activating the Comb's power. Doing so increases the rate of hair growth to six inches for every second of contact. The Weed Comb does not work on magical hair such as that of a Wyld unicorn with hair of spun gold or any such thing.

Bloodstaining Seed

 Manse •
 Trigger: Contact with a seed

Touching this small ruby teardrop to any living seed will cause the seed to quickly turn bright red and swell into a juicy, ripe pomegranate over the course of five minutes. This ability functions even when the Bloodstaining Seed is not socketed into an Artifact. When it is socketed, it gives the ability for the Artifact to transform any seeds it touches as well. Pomegranates produced by this seed are normal in every possible way.

Level 2

Neverlone Gem

 Manse ••
 Trigger: Sexual desire

Shaped roughly like a small stone face, this lump of banded tan-and-clear stone means the owner never need worry about spending the night alone unwillingly. When spending the night in a populated area the stone gives the bearer an aura that attracts at least one willing partner for the night so long as this is not utterly outside the realm of probability. Note that this stone's effects do not create love, simply desire. Anything beyond that is up to the social skills of either party.

Level 3

Bent Twig

 Manse •••
 Trigger: Crafting wood

Taking the form of a simple brown rod with a slight kink in the middle, this Hearthstone gives its owner immense power over wood both living and unliving. In the owner’s hands wood is as malleable as soft clay, effectively adding 5 dice to all attempts to work with wood. This can also be used to manipulate leaves and flowers and such wood-based foliage.

Level 4

Flowerbody Gem

 Manse ••••
 Trigger: Concentration

One of only a few Hearthstones that can be used without an Artifact to facilitate attunement, the Flowerbody Gem takes the form of a small green jade blossom. It is swallowed and rests in the belly of its owner until such time as the owner wishes to cough it back up. As long as the stone is within the owner, his bodily fluids can be transmuted at will into the products of any flower or fruit that he has ingested since swallowing the stone. Coughing the stone up purges the “library” of flora. No floral poison or parasite can harm the owner of this stone.

Level 5

Comments

You know, I was looking at the Neverlone stone, and was just having this image of a person who keeps attracting people who are interested, but who the holder would never be interested in. (Like the straight guy who keeps getting hit on by gay men.) ^_^ - haren
