Staff of Ranulf

Ranulf enchanted a staff for his talisman. The staff is made of coiled lengths of ash, hazel, and oak, and it is bound with iron, inset with leaden and silver traceries, and has a tiny ruby mounted in a silver ring just above where it is held. It was originally opened with 15 pawns of vis to fill the ruby.

At age 54, Ranulf has the first four effects given below instilled into the item, filling all fifteen pawns of the item's opened capacity.

Attunements

• +6 to fire related effects
• +4 to control things at a distance
• +2 repel things
• +3 to divination

By the age of 84, Ranulf has opened his talisman further, using 10 more pawns of vis and enchanting Shriek of the Impending Shafts and Defense of the Roaring Furnace into his talisman, with two more corresponding attunements. This leaves four unfilled pawns capacity in the talisman.

Additional Attunements

• +4 destroy things at a distance
• +4 affect dead wood.

Topiary of Flames

ReIg 44

Pen +0, 12/day item maintains concentration

R: Voice D: Conc, T: Ind (+2 size)

This effect re-shapes a single fire into a shape desired by the wielder. The fire may stretch and extend in any direction but it can not be pulled completely away from its source of fuel, nor can the volume of the fire be increased by this effect. Ranulf typically uses this effect to change large fires into walls, bridges, and staircases, often making these features very thin and delicate to stretch the fire as far as possible. No part of the fire's new shape can be further than the range of the caster's voice. A Finesse roll should be used if exceptional precision or targeting is required. This effect can target fires of tremendous size (up to 100 times the size of a standard Ignem individual fire).

(Effect: Base10, +2 Voice, +1 concentration, +2 size; Modifications +5 levels item maintains concentration, +4 levels 12x/day)

Flames of Stone

MuIg(Te) 38

Pen +0, 3/day item maintains concentration

R: Voice, D: Conc, T: Ind (+1 size)

This effect changes the flames of the target fire to be as hard and stable as stone. The flames still have no weight and the target fire still produces both heat and smoke. Ranulf often uses this effect in combination with the Topiary of Flames effect to create temporary structures. The target fire can be no larger

than a small house or large hut (ten times the size of a standard Ignem individual).

(Effect: Base 10 +2 voice, +1 concentration, +1 size; Modifications +5 levels item maintains concentration, +3 levels 6 uses per day)
