These are the Stones of the Heavens.
- back to HearthStones/Telgar
Level 1
Storm’s Eye – Stone of the Heavens
Manse • Trigger: Constant
A marble-sized gem filled with dark thunderclouds and green-blue waves, the Storm’s Eye is simple in function as well as form. It allows its owner to predict the weather around him with perfect accuracy, barring supernatural intervention.
Level 2
Golden River Token - Stone of the Heavens
Manse •• Trigger: Concentration
A small golden teardrop often worn as an earring or necklace charm, the Golden River Token is only useful in the confines of Yu-Shan. When traveling upon the quicksilver canals the stone doubles the speed at which the bearer travels. When in the silver channel, the water around the bearer's boat turns golden. If using a golden channel, the water around the boat becomes pure white radiance. This stone is considered perfectly legal by the Heavenly Bureaucracy and many young and absent minded Sidereals try to encourage growth of similar gems at their Manses.
Level 3
Level 4
Stone of the Piercing Eye - Stone of the Heavens
Manse •••• Trigger: Concentration
A small eye-sized orb of opalescent crystal, the Piercing Eye reveals to its owner the true colors of another person, exaggerating visual clues that show their inner nature and true intentions. A nosy person's face will be marred with an inhumanly large olfactory organ, a stubborn man's jaw becomes a block of granite and a coward's stomach will glow yellow. The effects of this stone's power are activated at whim and last for a minute unless shut off with a simple thought. Even magical qualities or magically disguised qualities of the person come to light under the gaze of the Piercing Eye.
Level 5
Wizard's Heart - Stone of the Heavens
Manse ••••• Trigger: Special
A large transparent icosahedron, the Wizard's Heart is a vessel for sorcery. The inner core of the stone can contain a single sorcerous spell of any Circle, even Solar Circle. The level of the spell within dictates the current color of the Heart. Terrestrial spells turn it green, Celestial spells turn it blue and it remains clear when filled with a Solar spell. The Wizard's Heart can not contain Necromancy, though an Underworld version of this stone is rumored to exist that does hold Necromanctic spells. In order to release the spell within the stone, the owner of the Heart must simply pay the full cost of the spell while holding the stone. The same process repeated on the empty stone will fill it with any spell the owner knows. Casting the spell held within the Heart is a normal Simple action no matter what circle the spell belongs to.
Special
Vision Stone - Stone of the Heavens
Manse: Special Trigger: Concentration
These stones are unique and an interesting mystery. They all, supposedly, derive from a single Sidereal Manse, the Citadel of Stars. However instead of a single Hearthstone, nine formed when the Manse was finished. Each Stone has the same power and appearance. They are large blue-purple pearls about the size of two human fists. One remains in the Citadel of Stars, but others have been scattered to Manses across Creation. If placed in a newly formed Sidereal Manse, the Vision Stone becomes that Manse's Hearthstone and no unique stone will form. The single power of a Vision Stone is that it allows the user to peer into it and see any events occurring within one mile of any of the other eight stones.
Comments
Does the Wizard's Heart allow an instant cast? I would assume it does (probably as a simple action) but you havn't stated what type of action it is or how long it takes.
-- Darloth wasn't actually looking for that, but likes finding and commenting on interesting things on the way for looking for something else.
Yes, it allows for instant casting of the spell within it as a simple action. I have modified the stone text. Also, feel free to randomly comment on my stuff any time. I love me some commentation. - Telgar
Indeed. It's why wiki are so great. -- Darloth
