Clothes of Lord Richard of Hallam

MuAn(He) 16 R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Group Pen 0, 2/day

This spell works just like Remake the Tailor's Craft, except that the effect can only change the target's clothes into those of a specific description: woolen doublet and hose of black with red ornamentation, a white linen shirt, leather riding boots and a riding cape. The outfit comes with a stylish felt hat bearing a red feather, and gloves.

The effect can be canceled at will, but can only be activated twice per day. This effect is triggered when the wearer of the ring rubs it and says either trigger word "vir Hallamus" or "mulier Hallamae."

(Base 2, +1 Touch, +1 Conc, +2 Group; +1 2/day, +5 item maintains concentration)

Body of the Virile Male

MuCo 11 R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Ind Pen 0, 2/day

The target's body assumes male physical characteristics without altering other aspects of appearance. The effect can be canceled at will, but can only be activated twice per day. This effect is triggered when the wearer of the ring rubs it and says the trigger word "mulier Hallamae."

(Base 3, +1 Touch, +1 Conc; +1 2/day, +5 item maintains concentration)

Masking the Odor of Magic

PeVi 34

R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Group

Pen 0, constant effect

Prevents the detection of any of the effects in this item by magic, unless the Intellego Vim spell is greater than 30th level. A character with the Magic Sensitivity Supernatural Ability must have a score of 6 or greater to detect the magic of this item.

(Base effect (5), +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +2 Group; +1 2/day, +3 environmental trigger)

Pigeon Amulet

Named after the bird stamped on its surface, this brass coin-shaped amulet has a hole in the top allowing it to be threaded onto a necklace or leather thong. Each one is made as a pair from the same batch of metal, and are separated at the end of the enchantment process. One half is kept by the maga as an Arcane Connection to the other half; Persephone neatly labels these with the name of the owner of the other half, and hangs them on her wall. These Arcane Connections typically last for years. Persephone distributes these Charged Items to potential agents who she may wish to recruit at a later date, or to skilled operatives to whom she issues personal instructions.

Take Me Home

ReMe 25

Pen 0, charged item

R: Touch, D: Moon, T: Ind

When activated, this amulet causes the person who it is touching to have a nagging desire to travel to a place that is designated when the item is made. The sensation persists throughout the effect's duration, and a week of this is usually sufficient to prompt the target to manufacture a reason to make the journey. The trigger for this effect is typically the buzz of a bee, which can be caused remotely using Persephone's Triggering the Distant Power spell.

(Base 5, +1 Touch, +3 Moon)

Fides Sororis

This Invested Item is physically the twin of Persephone's talisman, made at the same time from the same batch of gold, and bearing seven strands of the maga's hair as a fixed Arcane Connection. The ring was prepared for enchantment with 10 pawns of vis, and has been invested with 5 pawns' worth of effects. Persephone gave this ring to her sister Kore.

Repulse the Unwanted Attention

ReCo 35

R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Ind

Pen 0, 24/day

This spell is identical to the effect in Persephone's talisman, except that it was invented at Range Touch since this item is not a talisman.

(Base 15, +1 Touch, +1 Conc; +5 maintains concentration, +5 24/day)

Adopt the Sister's Face

MuCo(Vi) 25 R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Part Pen 0, 24/day

The target's face is changed to be that of Persephone of Tytalus. The face is always that of Persephone's current appearance due to the presence of the indefinite Arcane Connection wrapped around the ring. The Vim requisite in this effect taints the target with magic, so that she also appears to have The Gift by those who investigate her magically, although the wearer temporarily gains the Magical Air Flaw. The effect is triggered by kissing the ring.

(Base 3, +1 Touch, +1 Conc, +1 Part, +1 requisite; +5 item maintains concentration, +5 24/day)
