Telgar's Artifact Ideas
- back toArtifacts/Telgar Artifacts
In no particular order and no particular stage of construction, these are ideas I've gotten for Artifacts that I haven't bothered to fully flesh out. Feel free to borrow them, but do let me know. Or else.
One Use Artifacts
- A comb that when thrown onto the bare ground sprouts into a small but nasty forest which is very hard to travel across. It takes three days to go around or a day to go through, but going through it requires five Survival rolls of increasing difficulty.
- Exploding thingy that creates a single combat round just for its user. No one else can act in that round without some sort of Perfect Initiative Beating Charm.
- Small carved statues of animals, real or created, which when activated transform into life-sized versions of that animal. They continue to exist for their natural life span, but are treated just as any other animal would be.
- Bowl that when smashed releases a flood of water about as big as a small lake.
Armor

- Police Sword v1
- After 1 successful (HL inflicted) attack, the target must roll WP (diff 1) to resist obeying the wielder
- successive attacks raise the difficulty of the resistance roll by 1 if they inflict at least 1 HL.
- when lowered to -2 HLs the target must roll WP (diff 1) to resist surrendering every time he is wounded.

Transportation
Other
- A cursed mirror that reflects the flaws of anyone who looks into it and inflicts them upon the looker more intensely. mortals age faster, the sick get sicker, the Great Curse is magnified and limit inflicted, crazies get crazier, someone with self-esteem troubles gets worse, etc etc etc. Also possible; the darkest wishes of the person is granted if it is possible. someone who secretly wants to die is killed, someone who wants someone dead gets what they want...a sort of Wishmaster Mirror maybe. Bears thinking and possibly two cursed mirrors, one for inflicting flaws, one for Wishmastering. Another idea might be a mirror that kills people by attacking their reflections, something is trapped in the mirror and if you stand in front of it doing some certain thing, the thing trapped in it will start attacking your reflection and hurt you physically. only way to stop it is to attack the mirror or get away.
