Forfex Princeps

The "Prince of Shears" is Julia's talisman. These clothier's shears are two feet long and constructed from iron. Inlaid onto the blades are intricate filigrees of gold, copper, and lead. The invested item was initially prepared with ten pawns of Vim vis and currently has no enchantment space remaining.

PeVi 25

Pen 20, 24/day

R: Voice, D: Mom, T: Ind

Weakens a faerie. If the effect penetrates the Faerie's Might then it loses 10 points of Might.

(Base 0, +2 Voice; +10 Pen 30, +5 24/day)

Sever Wood and Bone

PeAn(He) 12 Pen 0, 3/day R: Touch, D: Mom, T: Ind

This effect is rarely used for mundane tasks, since Julia is sufficiently skilled. Instead, she uses it where shears would not normally cut, like through bone or wood.

(Base 4, +1 Touch, +1 requisite; +2 3/day)

Gather the Connection

ReCo(An) 30 Pen 10, 1/day

R: Voice, D: Mom, T: Ind

When triggered, this effect snips a lock of hair from the target (either human or animal) and delivers it to the wielder's hand. If done in a surreptitious fashion, the target must make a Perception + Awareness roll against an Ease Factor of 9 to realize that some of his hair has been stolen. Naturally Julia uses this effect to gain Arcane Connections, but uses it with caution for there is the real risk she could take hair from a magus unknowingly. This spell duplicates the mundane action of cutting hair, and does not need a Perdo requisite.

(Base 15, +2 Voice; +5 Pen 10)

Sunder Stone

PeTe 12

Pen 0, 3/day

R: Touch, D: Mom, T: Ind

The shears can cut through any mineral substance that they can close around — metal, glass, or stone.

(Base 3, +1 Touch, +2 affect metal; +2 3/day)
