Wrappings of Metaphysical Iron

ReVi Gen R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Individual

This spell wards an object from being touched or manipulated by faeries or faerie magic. Faeries with Might greater than the spell's level are not restrained by this spell, nor are faeries that resist the spell's Penetration.

Lambert's version of this spell was developed from laboratory notes made by a Merinita magus with the virtue of Spell Potency (The Mysteries Revised Edition page 31 or Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults page 6) concerning faeries. Lambert is unable to cast this spell unless he wraps an iron chain around the protected item at the time of the casting. Due to the influence of the iron chain, this spell is cast with a Potency Bonus of +7.

Lambert finds that faeries rarely confront him about his use of this spell when he casts it on goods that he brings into their lands, but they become exceedingly displeased by the spell when it is used upon any item that is native to their home.

This is a large oaken chest with brass hardware of simple design. The chest measures two and a half feet wide, a foot and a half deep, and foot and a half tall.

Pen +0, constant effect

R: Personal, D: Day (constant), T: Room Any item consisting entirely of plant material that is placed completely within the chest is shrunken to the size of a grain of wheat until it is removed from the chest. Linen bags filled with grain, vegetables, or fruit are the items most commonly stored within the chest by Lambert's family. Shrunken materials that are kept within the chest for long periods of time can Warp, often becoming unnaturally shaped. Lambert's family has found it often difficult to find a particular grain-sized item within the chest. They have taken to only placing items stored in colored linen bags into the chest, assigning

certain bag colors to particular contents. This
