 Spells
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None (object)
Spell Resistance: No
You cause the contents of a container to cook according to a recipe
you recite as part of the casting. A simple recipe (“heat three eggs
until cooked, while stirring”) will of course take considerably less
time than a complex one. Regardless of how long it would take
normally, the spell completes the cooking in the length of time it
takes to recite the recipe.
You must put all the relevant ingredients in your container
before you begin to cast the spell. If any ingredients mentioned in
the recipe are not present, the spell fails. It is likewise ineffective if
you attempt to use it to prepare anything but food; you cannot brew
a potion using cook.
Note that the spell functions even if the container you are using
is not suitable for the finished product--you can cook soup in a
porous container, but you may regret it afterwards.
Copy
Universal
Level: Clr 1 (or Clr 0, see text), Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 round/page or see text
Range: Touch
Target: 2 pages/level
Effect: Copies a text
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No
Copy allows you to exactly duplicate as many pages of text as your
level permits. The pages may be no larger than two feet on a side,
and you must provide the blank parchment or paper upon which
you wish to copy. (Objects other than pieces of paper may be used,
but if they are not roughly flat, or are thicker than ½ inch, the
spell fails.) You may also copy illustrations, but the spell produces
a monochrome rendering rather than a full-color picture. Thus,
sketches, line drawings, and other black-and-white images are the
best candidates.
To copy a page, you must lay the original flat, face up, and cover
it with the blank sheet. The triggering word may be spoken as many
times as your level permits, copying onto a fresh sheet each time;
you may also change originals. The extended casting time is a result
of having to move your originals and blanks.
While you may use copy on spells written in spellbooks or on
scrolls, many of the limitations on pp 178-179 of the PH still apply.
The process still costs 100 gp per page, though it takes only half as
long (12 hours, instead of the normal 24). If the pages are disturbed
while the spell is at work, the process is disrupted and must begin
again. Casting copy on a scroll transfers the text from the original to
the new page, leaving the original blank.
Material Component: A pinch of charcoal (or other powdered
pigment) or a drop of ink. The color of the pigment determines the
color of the copy.
Note: Clerics whose god grants the Knowledge domain have
access to this spell as an orison.

Count
Divination
Level: Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium
Area: Up to 100 sq ft/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You specify a type of creature or object, such as “horses” or
“sacks of grain.” Upon casting the spell, you know how many
of that type of thing there are within the target area. The spell
functions only on external appearance, so a dragon under an
illusion that made it appear to be a horse would be counted as
a horse.
Detect Cheating
Divination
Level: Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close
Target or Area: See text
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No
You enchant creatures, areas, or gaming equipment so that
games in which they are involved are harder to cheat at. This
spell comes in several versions, depending on what is to be
enchanted.
Creatures: In this case, the targets are up to 4 creatures
per level. They must all be within 15 feet of each other when
the spell is cast, though they may move apart afterwards.
If any creature resists the effects, the caster will know. Any
of the creatures affected may then begin playing a game. If
any participant performs an action that is not allowed by
the rules, all targeted creatures are immediately aware of
the infraction’s nature and who committed it. This can be
anything from changing the position of a piece in chess to an
illegal blow in trial combat. At least one of the target creatures
must have a thorough knowledge of the rules of the game.
Detect cheating lasts until the game is finished or 1 hour per
level, whichever comes first. The spell also keeps score.
Area: Detect cheating may be cast on a playing field of up
to 100 square feet per caster level. Anyone using the field is
subject to the spell’s effects. Duration and effect are as above.
Object: When cast upon gaming equipment, detect cheating
affects one “set” per level, where a set is enough equipment
to play a standard game, e.g. a chess board and all the pieces,
a ball and goal markers, etc. Though the duration and effect
are standard, the spell’s duration does not take effect until
someone starts playing. This version can be cast at any time;
it remains quiescent until players begin using the equipment.
If the equipment itself is dishonest—weighted dice, for
example—the spell fails, and the caster will know why.

width of a barleycorn, you cannot measure anything smaller
than that.
Alternatively, you may designate a specific point such as
“the center of the next town.” Provided that point is within
ten miles per level, you know how far it is from you. You may
not specify a creature, living or otherwise, as the focus of the

You take one creature’s skill and transfer it to another. For
the duration of the spell, the recipient may act as if he had
as many ranks in the skill as the donor has, ignoring level
restrictions on skill ranks. The recipient uses his own ability
and miscellaneous modifiers, however. For example, a halfling
with a 14 Dex who was borrowing 4 ranks in Move Silently
would have a total of 8: 4 ranks, +2 Dex modifier, and +2
halfling racial bonus. While her skill is being borrowed, the
donor acts as if she were untrained, which may mean she is
unable to use the skill at all. If the skill being transferred is
exclusive to a class in which the recipient has no levels, he
gains only one half of the donor’s ranks. Both the donor and
the recipient may make Will saves to avoid the effects of the
spell; if either succeeds, the spell fails.

The target’s skin changes to whatever color you designate.
This is not limited to natural or solid colors; you may apply a

skin fades back to its natural color over the course of about a

+2 circumstance bonus to Disguise checks, or removes half the

covered in hair or fur are more or less affected depending on
how much of their skin is visible.

The two apprentices of a wizard with severe allergies and a
bad temper developed this spell as a means of distracting him.

When one apprentice was being berated, the other would cast sneeze
on their master, interrupting his train of thought and usually ending
the lecture. Since the wizard often sneezed on his own due to dust
and pollen in the air, he didn’t catch on until after the two had left
him. A spellcaster affected by sneeze while casting a spell with a
verbal component must make a Concentration check to avoid losing
the spell (see the PH). The DM may rule that sneeze has a chance to
spoil the aim of characters using ranged weapons.
Material Component: A pinch of pepper or dust.

The objects you designate are put into order according to the criteria
you desire. The objects must fall into some sort of logical group,
e.g. “the papers on my desk,” “the books in this room,” or even “the
kittens in the box.” All the objects must have whatever quality is
used to order them; any that do not are ignored. For example, if you
want all the books in the room ordered by title, any which do not
have an obvious title are overlooked.
You may use any order that you personally understand:
alphabetical order for any language you can read, level of the
spells on scrolls, age of living beings, etc. You cannot sort based on
information unavailable to you--people whose names you do not
know cannot be put into alphabetical order unless they are wearing
nametags, for example.
If the objects are nonliving and weigh less than half a pound
apiece, they are physically reordered. This takes approximately one
round per 10 objects. Living creatures and heavy objects cause a
different manifestation of the spell’s energies. The first item in the
order glows slightly to your eyes until you touch it, whereupon the
second begins to glow instead, and so forth. This effect lasts until all
the items have been ordered, or for 1 hour per level.

Spell Resistance: Yes
Developed by a hapless court wizard to appease a vain and spoiled
princess, stone nails causes the target’s fingernails to become hard
and strong enough to be considered natural weapons. The target’s
unarmed damage is considered lethal and inflicts an additional point
of damage. Creatures that already have natural weapons (such as
claw attacks) only gain the additional damage. Also, until the nails
grow out (about two weeks), they will not chip, split, or break, and
the target will indeed find it difficult to cut them on purpose.

 Magic Items
Magic Items
Everyone loves a +1 flaming sword, right? Well, at least
everyone whose goal is to risk life and limb in search of
treasure, glory, or whatever excitement the day may bring. For
those of a more homebound persuasion, magic items should
be of a more practical nature. There’s not much use in a sword
that’s been enchanted to +5 versus orcs if the closest an orc
ever comes to your home is the fresco in the town square
recounting ancient deeds of long-dead heroes. It would be far
more useful to have a pot that cooks the evening stew.
There’s also the matter of price. Spellcasters creating items
with little utility to the adventuring crowd often find that
people just aren’t willing to pay their asking prices: it’s much
easier to convince a person to spend thousands of gold pieces
on a sword that may save his life than on a glorified writing
pen, no matter how many substances it can write on.
The following can therefore be deduced: there is a need and
market for simple magic items that do little more than make
daily life a bit easier. None of them require a creator of higher
than 3rd level. Those that are activated by a command word
generally have it written on them somewhere prominently;
otherwise, the seller reveals it at the time of purchase.
Alchemist’s Gloves: Made of thin leather, alchemist’s gloves
look like normal, if highly decorated, hand wear. However,
they have been enchanted to resist the corrosive effects of
the chemicals an alchemist works with. While they are worn,
the user can plunge his hand into a bowl of acid with no ill
effects—as long as the level of the liquid doesn’t go above the
cuff of the glove. Thus, most pairs of alchemist’s gloves extend
to at least the wearer’s mid-forearm. Elemental damage other
than acid damages the gloves normally. They provide no bonus
to AC against such effects as a green dragon’s breath weapon
or acid arrow spells.

Price 18,000 gp/pair; Weight 1 lb/pair.
Amulet of Amplification: More like a collar than a pendant,
the amulet of amplification sits snugly against the base of its
wearer’s throat. While worn, it amplifies the wearer’s voice
enough that he can be heard up to 500 feet away. Everyone
within range hears him at a normal volume; those standing
close are not deafened.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, ventriloquism;
Price 2,000 gp; Weight --.
Amulet of Beauty: This item projects a subtle illusion that
slightly improves the wearer’s appearance. The wearer gains
a +2 effective increase in Charisma when dealing with any
character who finds his or her race and gender attractive. This
is not necessarily an unmixed blessing, as the wearer may also
find it increasingly necessary to fend off unwanted advances
from drunks and lechers.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, alter

Amulet of Commerce: Unscrupulous merchants have been
known to invest in an item called an amulet of commerce. This
unobtrusive pendant improves the final terms of any business
deal by 10% in the wearer’s favor—a seller gets a higher price,
18
a buyer pays a lower one, and so forth. In a shop, a merchant may
either haggle or just set slightly higher prices, which most people
will simply pay. A successful Will save (against the amulet’s creator’s
DC for a spell of that level) allows the opposing party to avoid the
effects. If she rolls a 20, she avoids the effects and may roll again;
if the second roll would have saved successfully, she realizes what
the amulet does. In any case, she may make a new save for every
transaction she conducts with the amulet’s wearer. Two opposed
amulets of commerce cancel out and have no effect whatsoever.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, charm person;

Amulet of Infertility: While worn, this item prevents its user from
being able to sire or bear children. It lasts for a year of continuous
wear before becoming useless. Each time it is donned, the user must
make a Fortitude save or take 1 point of temporary Constitution
damage.

Price 6,000 gp; Weight --.
Amulet of King’s Armor: This unobtrusive amulet renders the
wearer immune to critical hits and the extra damage from a rogue’s
sneak attacks, even when flanked or denied his Dexterity bonus.
This effect does not function if the user is wearing any armor that
provides more than a +1 bonus to AC, but spells that provide an AC
bonus do not affect the function of the amulet.

Animated Laces: Lengths of cord that have been enchanted to tie
themselves, animated laces have many uses. Most commonly they
are found lacing boots or the backs of noble ladies’ dresses. When
commanded to do so by a user holding them, animated laces thread
themselves through eyelets or grommets and tie themselves into firm
knots. They can be unlaced by a similar voice command, but only
from the wearer of the garment they fasten.
If used to bind a creature, animated laces add +10 to the DC of
Escape Artist checks. However, they are only as strong as normal
cord; if they are broken, their magic is ruined.

Arch of Revealing: Intended as a permanent installation, the arch
of revealing is most commonly built into the main door of a temple
or palace. Worked into the stone are the magical forces of one or
more detection spells such as detect undead or detect good. When a
being or item with the relevant attribute passes through the arch,
the stone indicates its presence in some way—usually, it glows, but
audible and mental indicators are also possible. The arch may have
more than one spell, in which case the indicator is usually different
for each; each extra spell adds 2,000 gp to the price.

 Magic Items
Augur Stone: Once per day, the user may consult the augur
stone as to the outcome of an action. See augury in the PH for the
limitations on the stone’s answer. While the most common form of
this item is a small stone that changes color, other, more elaborate
forms may be available at higher prices.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, augury; Price
12,000 gp; Weight --.
Bells of Alarm: This set of four small bells must be placed,
touching the outer wall, at the corners of a rectangular structure,
or equidistantly around the perimeter of a circular one. No
two adjacent bells may be more than 50 feet apart. A set of bells
protects an area of up to 50 feet per side and 50 feet in height,
which covers as much area as they can enclose—this means that
towers and other tall buildings may require more than one set to
be completely protected. To be used for structural purposes, the
bells must be permanently attached to the building in question;
once installed, removing them renders their magic useless. The bells
of alarm function as the alarm spell, save that the creator decides
whether a given set produces a mental or an audible alarm. Bells
that produce an audible alarm can be rendered ineffective if all four
bells comprising a single set are placed within the area of a silence
spell, but can otherwise be heard by anyone within 60 feet of the
structure.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, alarm; Price
2,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs (all four bells).
Belt of Slimness: Donning this belt has no immediately noticeable
effect, but the user begins to lose weight at a rate of 2 lbs per day
until he has lost 10% of his starting weight. If he continues to wear
the belt thereafter, he will not gain any weight, no matter how much
he eats. If he removes it and puts it back on, however, he will lose
another 10%. Any wearer who goes below his minimum racial base
weight (see PH) begins to suffer the effects of starvation.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, reduce; Price
2,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Breakfinder: When touched to an object, the breakfinder begins
to pull gently in the direction of that object’s most significant flaw
or malfunction. It only indicates the most important malfunction,
and will not detect anything that does not actually cause the target
object to cease to work—it does not warn of incipient breakage,
only actual breaks.

Bugball: This small metal sphere glows
with an eerie blue light that attracts
normal insects and kills them when
they touch it. It lasts for about a
month of normal use; throwing
it into a thick concentration
of insects, such as a beehive or
anthill, will burn it out in just a
few minutes. Once created, the
bugball can be recharged by any caster who
knows the correct spell, even if he does not have the

Calcoran’s Calculator: Calcoran’s calculator performs simple
arithmetical functions. Its most common form is a thin
metal plate, about a foot on one side and 8 to 10 inches on
the other. The user “writes” on the plate’s surface, entering
the mathematical equations to be solved, and the calculator
displays the answer—generally in the user’s own handwriting,
which can be disconcerting.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item,
calculation; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Calcoran’s Clever Cleaners: One of the many uses of
prestidigitation is to clean things. The wizard Calcoran knew
this effect could be bound into a small item, which is then
activated either by use or by command word. Pebbles and
small rocks are often used as bases, if only because the caster
can get them for free.
The most common types are Calcoran’s tooth cleaner,
Calcoran’s clothes cleaner, and Calcoran’s room cleaner. A tooth
cleaner brushes the user’s teeth, taking about 30 seconds, upon
being placed in the mouth. A clothes cleaner removes dirt from
a character and his clothing and gear over the course of about
a minute when the stone is held and a command word spoken.
A room cleaner, which also requires a command word, takes
an hour to complete its task in a 30-by-30 room, and only
performs the equivalent of dusting, washing the floor, and so
forth; it will not put anything away or take the dishes back to
the kitchen!
Faint universal; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item,

Carpet of Revealing: This large (5 foot by 10 foot) carpet is
woven in elaborate patterns. When unrolled and laid flat, the
carpet reveals invisible creatures standing on it or flying within
five feet above it. It does nothing but show the locations of
invisible creatures. The carpet does not function unless its
bottom surface is in contact with something fairly flat; it
will not work when carried, even if there is someone at each
corner to hold it taut.
Faint conjuration or evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous

Cheater’s Cards: In some places, the mere possession of a
deck of cheater’s cards can get the owner thrown out, banned,
or even beaten. They look like a normal deck of cards,
but contain an extra, blank card. The possessor
of this extra card can concentrate as a standard
action to change the values of any cards he is
touching. Whatever cards he “discards” in this
manner swap places randomly with the cards
that have the values he desires. He cannot
control where his “discards” go, so he may
inadvertently improve an opponent’s hand as
well as his own. Detect cheating reveals a deck of
cheater’s cards for what they are.

 Magic Items
Cheater’s Dice: Like cheater’s cards, cheater’s dice are severely
frowned upon in almost any gambling establishment. They
come in sets of three. When two of the dice are rolled, the
character possessing the third die may make a Dex check at a
DC of 10. If he succeeds, he can control how the dice land. He
must also make an opposed Bluff check lest his fellow players
notice what he is doing; users of cheater’s dice tend to develop
flamboyant styles as camouflage. If any of the three dice are
lost or destroyed, the magic ceases to function.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, mage

Childfinder: Each childfinder is a pair of metal tokens, one
slightly larger than the other but otherwise identical. The
tokens may be worn as pendants, sewn into clothing, or
simply carried. As a standard action, the possessor of the larger
token can concentrate to discover the location and direction
of movement of the smaller one. A creator who can cast cure
or inflict spells may also add the ability to know the general
state of health of any individual holding or wearing the smaller
token, i.e. healthy, injured, etc. This doubles the price. Neither
property functions if either token is encased in lead.

Circlet of Color: These items vary from simple metal hoops
to elaborate pieces of jewelry in their own right—the price
given is for the simple model. When the circlet is worn and
its command word spoken, it changes the wearer’s hair color
to whatever color is desired. The color is permanent, but the
wearer’s hair grows out in its natural color unless the
circlet is worn continuously. Similar items are
available that incorporate the effects of skin color,
though they are more often amulets or necklaces.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous
Item, hair color; Price 1,800 gp; Weight --.
Circlet of Enemy Detection: The wearer of the
circlet may use the effects of detect friends and enemies
for up to one hour per day. This time may be continuous
or broken into several smaller periods of time that equal one
hour.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, detect
friends and enemies; Price 10,000 gp; Weight --.
Circlet of Intelligent Thought: For up to 10 minutes per
day, the wearer of the circlet of intelligent thought is aware of
the location of any intelligent beings (Int 3 or greater) within
50 feet of him. The circlet’s effect is blocked by 3 feet of earth,
2 feet of wood, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of most metals or a
thin sheet of lead. A creature wearing a lead-coated helmet is
also undetectable. The circlet’s wearer cannot read the beings’
thoughts or intentions.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, detect
thoughts; Price 8,000 gp; Weight --.
Circlet of Sleep: When worn, a circlet of sleep causes its user to
do just that. Before it is donned, the wearer may specify a time
at which she wishes to awaken, or a trigger that will cause her
20
to do so. Such a trigger must be visual or audible. In the absence of
the trigger, she continues to sleep as long as she wears the circlet. The
item is not cursed; it can be removed normally, and may even fall
off if the wearer is a vigorous sleeper. In addition, if the sleeper takes
even 1 hp of damage, she wakes up immediately.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, sleep; Price
2,000 gp; Weight --.
Cloth of Blindness/Cloth of Deafness: A creature wearing a
cloth of blindness over the eyes or cloth of deafness over the ears is
affected as if targeted by a blindness/deafness spell. The creature is
not restrained in any way and may remove the item by whatever
means it would normally use; a character could untie a cloth of
blindness, while an animal might simply shake its head until a cloth
of deafness fell off. Once the item is removed, the creature’s affected
senses return to normal. For double the price, a self-securing hood
of blindness and deafness, that affects both sight and hearing, can be
obtained.
Faint necromancy; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, blindness/
deafness; Price 12,000 gp; Weight --.
Cold Box: This wooden box, two feet on a side, keeps items placed
within it at a temperature just below freezing, regardless of the
outside temperature. The effect functions only on items completely
enclosed in the box; the contents begin to thaw at a normal rate
when the box is open. Living creatures small enough to be enclosed
in the box suffer the normal effects of low temperatures rather than
being instantly frozen stiff.
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, any spell with
the Cold descriptor; Price 1,000 gp; Weight 10 lbs.
Cold Goblets: Popular in hot climates, cold goblets
lower the temperature of liquids placed within them
to just above freezing. There are also hot goblets, which
raise the temperature of their contents. For double the
price, goblets with both spells are available; the user
must specify whether a given liquid is to be kept hot or
cold.
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, chill
water and/or heat water; Price 1,000 gp (just hot or
cold) or 2,000 gp (both hot and cold); Weight ½ lb.
Coldproof Bracelets: Usually made of silver, the coldproof bracelets
allow their wearer manual dexterity in even the coldest weather.
While worn, they protect the wearer’s hands—and only his hands—
from cold. The bracelets provide no protection against cold-based
attacks and do not keep the rest of the wearer’s body warm. The
same creature need not wear both bracelets, but only the hand with
the bracelet is protected.
Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, resist energy;
Price 3,000 gp; Weight --.
Collar of Calming: An animal wearing this collar is affected as if
by a calm animals spell. For twice the price, riding gear is available
which also gives a +2 circumstance bonus to any Ride checks made
by the animal’s rider in circumstances where the animal has been
spooked or frightened.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, calm animals;

Collar of Holding: When placed on an animal, the collar of holding
subjects the creature to the effects of a hold animal spell. The animal
may make a Will save every hour to throw off the effect.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, hold animal;
Price 48,000 gp; Weight ½ lb.
Cooking Pots of Ease: Available in a number of varieties, cook pots
have been enchanted to cook their contents without the usual heat
sources and human intervention. In general, the user must put the
appropriate ingredients into the pot, then speak the command word
and recite the recipe to be prepared. A user who knows how to cook
may also teach the pot recipes by using it as a normal utensil. The
same recipe must be prepared at least once a day for five successive
days in order for the pot to “learn” it and each recipe must be given
a distinctive name, to be spoken along with the command word.
Although the general cooking pot is the most common type
to be enchanted in this way, in larger towns and cities one can
often find specialized cookware, such as pie tins or bread pans. In
addition, some pots are sold having already been taught a few simple
recipes. Each recipe a pot knows adds 5 gp to the market price. The
pot may also have been enchanted with create water, in which case
it provides its own when needed, and purify food and drink. Each of
these options adds 500 gp to the price.
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, cook; Price 1,000

Copying Plate: The copying plate is a flat sheet of metal, about 2 ½
feet on a side, which can be used to duplicate the effects of the copy
spell up to 10 times per day. The sheet to be copied and the blank
must be laid on the plate and the command word spoken.
Faint universal; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, copy; Price 1,800

Crafter’s Tools: These magical tools, of the appropriate type for
the craft in question, add a +4 circumstance bonus to all Craft
checks made using them. Such items are available for most crafts;
the creator of the item must have at least 2 ranks in the appropriate
skill.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, clever hands,

Dinnivun’s Loom: This large floor loom warps itself and weaves cloth
with no intervention, as long as it is provided with yarn or thread.
It can perform a simple weave on command, but complex ones such
as brocades require a pattern for it to follow. It can also be used as a
normal loom (it functions as a masterwork tool), though it performs
its tasks in approximately one-tenth the time it would take a skilled
character. The loom is activated by a simple command word.
Faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, unseen servant,

Dinnivun’s Spindle: When placed upon a pile of raw fiber, Dinnivun’s
spindle can be commanded to spin it. The user may specify the weight
of the finished cord, from fine thread to heavy yarn. Made of exotic
wood and carefully balanced, the spindle counts as a masterwork tool
if used normally, though it spins about 10 times faster than a skilled
character can.

Empty Safe: This large metal box has a built-in lock and
appears to be quite ordinary in every respect. However, an
empty safe seemingly causes all objects placed within it to
vanish so that the safe appears to be totally empty no matter
what is in it. An empty safe can make up to twenty items
disappear in this manner (provided they fit within the volume
of the box). If the safe’s capacity is exceeded, the magic
temporarily fails and its contents are rendered visible until the
excess items are removed.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, empty hat;
Price 1,000 gp plus the cost of the lock; Weight 50 lbs.
Enhanced Jewelry: Jewelry that has been affected by the spell
luster appears to cost more than it does, allowing people to
wear impressive items on a limited budget. Note that the spell
can only affect items that incorporate gems, and does nothing
for shoddy workmanship or poor materials in the setting.
Unscrupulous shopkeepers may attempt to pass off enhanced
items as more valuable than they are, but honest ones charge
the price listed below.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, luster; Price
1,000 gp plus the cost of the jewelry; Weight varies, but is
generally negligible.
Everlight: An item which has had continual flame cast on it
has a permanent glow equivalent to a torch. People fed up
with buying candles and torches might have a small item
enchanted in order to have a light source that never needs
refueling. In a large city, there might even be everlight street
lamps; inns and taverns might provide lighting for their
patrons.
A special case is the adventurer’s light, based on a burnt-out
ioun stone. Circling a character’s head at just above eye level,
the stone provides a hands-free, fuelless light source which
furthermore does not consume oxygen, and which can be
“turned off” by the simple expedient of snatching it out of the
air and putting it in a lightproof container. The DM may rule
that a circling adventurer’s light causes a penalty when a PC
attempts delicate work such as lock picking or the exercise of
Craft skills, and any prolonged attempt to read by the moving
light may necessitate a Fortitude save to avoid a bad headache
(-1 to Will saves and mental skills for 1d6 hours).
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; continual flame; Price 60 gp plus
the cost of the item to be enchanted (torch- or candle-sized
wooden dowel, free; metal rod, 1 gp; ioun stone, 25 gp); Cost

Weight up to 1 lb for a metal rod.
Everwarm Platters: Large, metal serving plates suitable for
banquets, everwarm platters keep food placed upon them at
the proper temperature. A simple command word activates
them for a period of twelve hours, after which the plates
return to room temperature until activated again. One can
also find everchilled platters that keep foods cold and fresh for
the same period of time.

Festival Lights: There are many types of festival lights, from a
length of cord that glows along its length to cascades of beads,
 Magic Items
each with its own differently colored flame. Though not very
bright in themselves—it takes 5 lengths of festival lights to
equal the illumination of a torch—en masse the lights can
produce a very impressive effect. Temples and governmental
buildings use them to decorate for major holidays; a
sufficiently rich private citizen might do the same. The lights
cannot be turned off, and are sometimes used for illumination
in storage areas when they are not in use.
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, continual

Fingernail Hardener: Rather than being meant to be drunk,
fingernail hardener is a salve or oil rubbed on the user’s
fingernails. Until they grow out, the user’s nails become
resistant to breakage and chipping, and she finds it
difficult to cut them. For higher prices, fingernail
hardener is available that also colors the nails. Each
vial contains enough to treat 10 fingernails. If
ingested, the imbiber suffers 1d3 points of
temporary Intelligence damage (no save).

Firestarter: This wooden dowel, about the size and shape of a
pencil, produces upon command a small flame from one end,
equivalent to that of a candle. The flame is completely normal
in all respects save that it will not go out in heavy wind or
even under water. It persists for up to one minute, then goes
out. While a firestarter could be used as a light source, it has
only 50 charges before becoming useless. Attempts to use one
in melee are at the same penalties as any other improvised
weapon. Any spellcaster who can cast a spell with the Fire
descriptor may create a firestarter, provided she has the
Craft Wondrous Item feat. Temples to fire deities often sell
firestarters for minimal profit or even at cost.
While a firestarter costs much more than 50 tindertwigs,
it has a number of advantages: it takes up less room, does not
become useless if wetted, produces a longer-lasting flame, and
will not go out when one is trying to start a fire in the rain.
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, any spell
with the Fire descriptor; Price 750 gp; Weight --.
Fire Ward: Available in many forms, the fire ward is a
small figurine that warns of and guards against unexpected
fires. It ignores fires in protected spots, such as fireplaces or
candleholders, and any flame source a character is touching;
any other fire within 50 feet of it causes the fire ward to emit
a piercing screech that wakes even the deepest sleeper. It
continues to give its alarm until a creature touching it speaks
the command word.
For double price, one can obtain a fire ward that actually

Fireworks: Fireworks come in a number of varieties, but they all
share one common characteristic: when ignited, they produce
colored flames or sparks. The flames last for up to 5 minutes, and
may produce patterns rather than simple bursts of color; the more
complex type is naturally more expensive. Some fireworks have also
been enchanted to float into the air before exploding, which lessens
the risk of setting fire to something on the ground.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, pyrotechnics
(and levitate if desired); Price 300 gp (600 gp for levitating
fireworks); Weight up to ½ lb.
Flask of Acid: Though the most common form of this item is a
glass flask such as acid is usually bought in, other types of container
are possible. The item changes any liquid placed within it
into acid. This process takes one day per pint of liquid
(sixteen ounces in a pint, two pints in a quart, four
quarts in a gallon). If the liquid is poured out before the
transformation is complete, it takes on the approximate
acidity of lemon juice but is otherwise unaffected. Potions,
magical liquids such as holy water, and liquids that do
damage have their properties destroyed by a completed
transformation. The appearance of the liquid changes only
slightly; a character who does not suspect what has happened
requires a Spot check with a DC of 15 to notice the skin of green
iridescence. The creation of a flask of acid consumes alchemical
components worth 100 gp per pint of the container’s capacity, or 10
gp for a one-ounce vial. The container is impervious to the effects of
the acid it produces, allowing waterskins of acid and the like.
Faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, any spell with
the Acid descriptor, two ranks of Craft (alchemy); Price 210 gp
(one-ounce vial), 300 gp (one-pint flask), 400 gp (quart bottle), 600
gp (half-gallon waterskin), 1,000 gp (gallon jug); Weight up to 1 lb
for a jug.
Fleabane Amulet: When worn, a fleabane amulet creates a magical
field that extends about 1 foot from the wearer. Normal vermin
cannot enter this space, and flee if brought within it. A slightly
larger version, the fleabane medallion, is activated by command word
and protects a 10-ft. cube. Both are good for a month of continuous
use before they must be recharged. Any spellcaster knowing the
appropriate spell may recharge a fleabane amulet or medallion,
whether she has the Craft Wondrous Item feat or not.

Price 1,000 gp (amulet); 900 gp (medallion); Weight --.
Freidoc’s Branding Iron: Those who own large numbers of
livestock (or slaves) may also have a Freidoc’s branding iron.
This item, the first of which was created by the infamous slave
lord, Freidoc the Cruel, produces a mark on the skin of a living
creature, which does not fade with time. Paradoxically, for having
been invented by such a foul-tempered and sadistic man, the
branding iron is painless to apply. The mark may be erased, and
may eventually be negated over the course of a month spent in a
non-magical area, such as an antimagic field. The mark is rendered
unrecognizable if the area on which it is branded takes 1 hp
of damage, and can be removed entirely with 2 hp of damage.
However, natural healing leaves scars that clearly indicate that the
mark was there.

 Magic Items
Gag of Muting: These items usually appear as mere strips of cloth,
but any shape that can cover the victim’s mouth when worn is
possible. A gag of muting not only deprives its wearer of the power
of speech, it also inhibits any other vocal sound, including clearing
of the throat or grunting. Those wearing the gag are not necessarily
restrained in any other way; a humanoid whose hands were free
could simply remove it.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, mute; Price
12,000 gp; Weight --.
Gamefinder Amulet: When worn, this amulet grants the wearer
knowledge of the location of the closest game animal of whatever
type he chooses, provided there are any within one mile. He may
change the type of animal it detects by concentrating as a standard
action.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, detect animals or

Gaming Table of Honesty: Made of wood, a gaming table of honesty
is inlaid with thin lines of metal which bind the magical energies of
detect cheating to its surface. The players of any game that uses the
table as a base are subject to that spell’s effect. The game must be
one primarily played on a table, such as a card or dice game.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, detect cheating;
Price 1,000 gp per 100 square feet of surface; Weight 15 lbs and up.
Gloves of Smithing: These thin leather gloves have been
embroidered with magical symbols. The wearer is granted a +2
competence bonus to all smithing-related Craft skill checks (or a +8
competence bonus to a single smithing skill), as well as the ability
to resist extreme heat. When worn, the user can pick up white-hot
metal, smoldering embers, or reach into a fire with no ill effects. The
gloves of smithing provide no protection against any other type of
elemental damage; while the wearer could reach into a forge, cold,
acid, and electricity damage the gloves and their wearer normally.
Gloves of smithing do not increase the wearer’s AC, as they protect
only the hands and forearms from fire.
Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, resist energy;
Price 12,000 gp/pair; Weight 1 lb/pair.
Glowing Book: This is a book enchanted with glowing page, such
that it can be read even in total darkness. The base book may be
on any topic, but it must be finely made and incorporate materials
worth at least 25 gp above and beyond the normal price for a book
of its type. One can occasionally find blank glowing books suitable
for use as wizards’ spellbooks.
Faint evocation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, glowing page;

Grates of Odor Suppression: Large and wealthy cities often have
sewers that run beneath the streets. On hot summer days, the
vile and noxious odors associated with this fact can become both
unavoidable and highly offensive. These magical grates were created
as a solution to the problem, especially in wealthy cities where the
budget could accommodate their creation. Grates of odor suppression
are enchanted to prevent the nauseating smells of the undercity
from rising. The grates allow rainwater and sewage to drain normally,
but still protect the noses of the city’s inhabitants.

Hairdresser’s Comb: Thrice per day as a standard action, the
user of a hairdresser’s comb may command it to untangle and
dress her hair. The untangling of the hair is always painless.
For a similar price, one may also purchase hairdresser’s shears,
which cut hair in the style specified by the user.
Faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, unseen

Harvester’s Scythe: Favored by those with large fields and
few workers, the harvester’s scythe can be activated to cut and
bind a bushel of grain in approximately half the time it would
take a person to do so. While animated, the scythe cannot
strike any living creature and will cease functioning until
creatures in the area have moved at least 10 feet away from
it. Though it is a masterwork tool, the harvester’s scythe offers
no bonus when used as a weapon; in fact, due to its unique
balance, a character must have exotic weapon proficiency to
use it as a weapon without incurring a penalty.

Hold Trap: Designed to look like a harmless objet d’art or
part of a larger item such as a doorknob, a hold trap subjects
anyone who touches it to the effects of hold person spell. In
addition to the save when he initially touches the trap, the
victim may make a new Will save every hour to throw off the
effect. The creature is held until it no longer touches the hold
trap; due to the nature of the spell, the trap will most likely
have to be knocked away by another. This must be done with
a tool of some sort, as anyone else who touches the trap or the
currently held creature(s) is held himself. Once the hold trap
has been triggered and its victim freed, it is rendered inert
and must be reset by a caster who knows hold person. He need
not have the Craft Wondrous Item feat, however. The hold
trap may be touched safely (deactivated) if a predetermined
password is spoken first.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, hold
person; Price 1,200 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Hypnotic Trap: When a creature touches the hypnotic trap
without first speaking the command word, it triggers the
effect of the spell stored within. If it fails its Will save, it is
fascinated as if by a hypnotic pattern spell. It may make a
new save every hour until it throws off the effect or is found
and awakened. A caster who knows hypnotism may make a
hypnotic trap that instead gives its victim a single, reasonable
suggestion, such as “Wait here.”

Item, hypnotism or hypnotic pattern; Price 1,800 gp

Inkwell of Disappearance: When ink is placed in the inkwell
of disappearance, it seems to vanish. However, it is still there
and can be used to write normally. The text so produced is
invisible, and remains so until a creature touches the object
upon which it is written and speaks a command word, which
is unique to each inkwell. The text also becomes visible if
taken into an antimagic field. Once it has been revealed, the
 Magic Items
text cannot be made to vanish again. Wary spies write their
invisible messages in the margins of a normal one to allay
suspicion.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, invisibility;
Price 10,800 gp; Weight --.
Inkwell of Many Colors: This small glass inkwell changes the
color of the ink it holds when the command word is spoken
and a color named. It cannot change anything other than the
color of ink; specifying “lapis lazuli” causes it to produce ink
of a deep turquoise blue that does not actually contain the
precious stone. The user must supply the ink. If the ink is
applied to a quill or spilled, the color cannot be subsequently
changed. However, any ink that remains in the inkwell can be
altered normally.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, match

Invisibility Box: A small wooden box with metal fittings, the
invisibility box can render small items invisible 5 times per
day. It has a capacity of about ½ cubic foot; the spell can only
be triggered when the lid is closed. The items stay invisible
for 24 hours. If more than one item is in the box when the
command word is spoken, each item counts as a separate use;
if there are more objects than daily uses remaining, items are
chosen at random until no daily uses remain.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, invisibility;
Price 10,800 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Iron of Smoothing: This simple item is small metal disk that
removes all the wrinkles from up to 20 articles of clothing per
day. It is activated by touching the material of the garment to
be smoothed, so the user must be careful not to let her own
clothing brush against it lest she waste a daily usage. An iron
of smoothing generates no heat, even when active.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item,
unwrinkle; Price: 1,000 gp; Weight --.
Lie Detector: This item is actually a pair of linked amulets,
one of silver and one of gold. The wearer of the gold amulet
automatically knows whether any statement made by the
wearer of the silver amulet is the truth to the best of that
creature’s knowledge. The wearer of the silver amulet can
make a Bluff check at DC 30 to avoid this effect; he must
make a new check each time he utters a lie. He is also immune
if under the influence of any effect concealing his thoughts.
In large cities, one may be able to find versions of the lie
detector which function only if the wearer of the silver amulet
has not yet reached her race’s age of adulthood (see PH).

Price 12,000 gp; Weight --.
Lucky Token: These innocuous-looking items come in many
forms, from metal talismans bearing the symbols of various
gods to rabbits’ feet. Once per day, the user of a lucky token
may activate the item, granting her a +1 luck bonus to a single
attack roll, saving throw, or skill check.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, guidance;

Lure Pipe: Favored by hunters, the lure pipe mimics the call

of a specific animal when the user blows into it. The type of animal
mimicked by a given lure pipe is determined at the time of creation
and cannot be changed afterwards. Lure pipes cannot function
within a silence spell.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, nature’s voice; Price

Magic Detector: This is a small item enchanted to alert its user to
the presence of magic. Common forms include a semi-precious gem
that glows, a small bell that rings softly, or a mechanical contraption
that emits clicks. The item normally responds to the general level of
magic in an area; as a standard action the user may concentrate to
change exactly what it senses.
General: The item responds to the general level of magic
within 60 feet of it, ignoring its user, his equipment, and that of
any creatures touching him. If it is not moved for 5 rounds, the
indicator changes to indicate the strength of the aura (a glow gets
brighter, ringing gets louder, clicks speed up, etc.). After 10 rounds,
it indicates the school of magic that is most predominant (the glow
changes color, the ringing becomes a distinct melody, clicks come in
rhythm, etc.). If the user ignores the item for 5 minutes, it reverts to
this mode. Note that it cannot be turned off, which can be a hazard
for users attempting to be stealthy.
Closest: The item now reacts to the source of magic closest
to it, assuming there are any within its range. If focused on the
same source for two or more rounds, it begins to pull slightly in
that direction. It gives more detailed information the longer it
is concentrated on one source. If focused on the same aura for
2 minutes (20 rounds), the user may make a Spellcraft check to
determine the exact spell in use, as detect magic.
Strongest: The item reacts to the strongest source of magic within
60 feet. As above, the indicator gives the user information about the
location and nature of the magic if kept focused on one source.
Most spellcasters prefer not to make magic detectors, as they
remove one of the great advantages casters have over those who
cannot use magic. However, a caster might make herself one in
order to avoid having to regularly cast detect magic, or for use by her
followers against rivals; such items may find their way onto the open
market or be found in treasure hoards.
The item to be enchanted must be worth at least 50 gp, and the
creation of the magic detector consumes spell components worth a
further 25 gp.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, detect magic;
Price 1,025 gp; Cost to Create 525 gp; Weight --.
Majara’s Needle: The user of a Majara’s needle must provide cloth
or leather, suitable thread, and the pattern to be followed, which
may be marked directly on the cloth or drawn on a sheet of paper or
parchment. All these items must be touching each other when the
needle is activated. When the command word is spoken, the needle
embroiders the cloth in approximately one-tenth the time it would
take a character to do so. If it runs out of thread, it stops working
until more is provided. It will not do structural sewing of any sort,
though it will embroider on an already completed garment or other
item. It follows the pattern exactly; any mistakes in the drafting are
duplicated.
A Majara’s needle may also be taught patterns by a user who has
ranks in Craft (embroidery). She must physically use the needle for
at least three hours or one repeat of the pattern, whichever takes
longer. Each pattern the needle learns must be given a distinctive
 Magic Items
name, to be spoken along with the command word.
Similar items exist for sewing, which does the structural sewing
necessary to construct a garment from cut pieces of cloth or leather,
and other crafts such as knitting. In all cases, creation of such items
requires 2 ranks in the appropriate skill.
Faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, unseen servant,
2 ranks in Craft (embroidery); Price 1,800 gp; Weight --.
Mending Box: A wooden box, usually about a foot on a side, the
mending box affects objects placed within it as mending spell. The
lid must be closed and the command word spoken for the effect to
function. For over ten times the price, mending boxes are available
that have been enchanted with make whole instead; see the PH for
the limitations of that spell. Larger boxes cost the base price for each
cubic foot of capacity.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, mending or
make whole; Price 900 gp or 10,800 gp per cubic foot; Weight ½ lb.
Message Box: A small, hinged wooden box secured with leather
straps, a message box compels any Tiny animal to which it is affixed
as a animal messenger spell. The box will not, however, summon an
animal; the user must supply his own. The character retrieving the
message, and no other, may use the same message box again to send
a reply, after which the item becomes useless. The animal returns
to the spot from which it was originally dispatched and waits there
until the message is retrieved or the second spell’s duration expires.
Faint enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, animal

Message Stone: Made of some semiprecious gem, a message stone
can record up to 1 minute of speech per level of its creator. Once
it has been recorded on, the stone’s contents cannot be changed.
Thereafter, any character who holds the stone in her hand and
concentrates can retrieve the message. The message plays back at the
volume at which it was recorded, and can be listened to as many
times as desired.

Murgan’s Mystical Mothballs: These marble-sized balls, carved
of aromatic wood, have been enchanted to keep moths and other
such destructive vermin out of stored clothing and food. For the
listed price the purchaser gets one dozen mothballs, each of which
keeps up to 10 cubic feet of space free of insects for up to a year.
The mystical mothballs must be used in an enclosed container such
as a drawer or closet; a mothball in a space too big for it is useless. A
chest with a capacity of 15 cubic feet, for example, would need 2 of
Murgan’s mystical mothballs for useful protection.
Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, insect ward;

Notetaker: Notetakers are wooden blocks about 6 inches on a side
and 1 inch thick. When the user speaks the command word, she can
write on the surface of the wood with any implement that comes to
a relatively sharp point; even the edge of a fingernail will work. She
may also erase previous writing by scratching it out. Most notetakers
only hold as much writing as will fit on their top surface, but the
user may buy extra “pages” of capacity at 50 gp each. The notetaker
becomes inert if its command word is spoken again, or if it is not
written on for 5 minutes.

Pendant of Odor Suppression: While worn, this ordinary-

preventing the wearer’s body odor from becoming offensive to

adds +2 to the DC to track the user by scent and grants
a +2 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy checks involving

Planting Sack: The fabric of which the planting sack is made
must be fine, despite its pedestrian task. On command, a sack
filled with grain animates and moves about on its own. The
sack can sow a field in half the time it would take a skilled
character to do so.
Faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, unseen

Plate of Cookery: This flat disc or square of metal has a
backing of wood or pottery. When the command word is
spoken, the metal surface of the plate quickly heats up enough
to be used as a cooking surface. It produces no light—and
careless cooks may learn the hard way that a heated plate of
cookery looks exactly like a cold one! Some plates of cookery
have several possible cooking temperatures, such as “simmer,”
“sauté,” and “boil.” The heat does not radiate, affecting only
objects that are touching the metal surface, so a plate of
cookery has little utility as an emergency heat source.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, heat

Purifying Dish: A purifying dish is always made of metal,
and is usually elaborately decorated. When the command
word is spoken, the dish alerts its user, usually by glowing,
if any poison is present. The user may then speak a second
command word, causing the dish to purify its contents (up to
one cubic foot of food) and render them fit for consumption.
There are also purifying goblets and even serving platters,
though each cubic foot of capacity adds 1,800 gp to the price.

Purse of Alarm: Popular with those who must carry their
cash and valuables on their persons, a purse of alarm warns
its owner if someone tries to pick his pocket. The purse
recognizes its owner; if anyone else touches it, it begins
to shriek. Until its owner speaks a command word while
touching it, the purse announces loudly in whatever language
its creator chose that it is being stolen. Its voice has the
volume of an alarm spell. As carrying vessels, purses of alarm
have a capacity of ½ cubic foot. One might also find a chest
 Magic Items
of alarm, which is activated if anyone but its owner opens
or moves it. Such an item has a capacity of about 5 cubic
feet. Items such as these might also be set to raise the alarm
if a creature with a given quality (evil alignment, undead,
etc) touches them; in that case, the price is doubled and the
creator must know the relevant detect spell(s).
Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, alarm,

Quiet Pillow: A creature whose head rests upon a quiet
pillow finds his sense of hearing dulled. Even the loudest
noises are no more intrusive than a conversation in the next
room, allowing him to sleep peacefully even if sounding brass
instruments pass under his bedroom window.

Radnall’s Eraser: A Radnall’s eraser is a small wooden cube
measuring a single square inch per side with an unadorned
metal disk set into one face. Three times per day, the user
can cover the disk with a finger and rub the eraser over a
selection of text or an illustration he wishes to eradicate. Only
non-magical writing is affected in this manner – a Radnall’s
eraser has no effect whatsoever on spells written in a wizard’s
spellbook or on a scroll.

Price 2,000 gp; Weight --.
Radnall’s Reading Lenses: Small pieces of clear crystal,
Radnall’s reading lenses allow the user to see and understand
text she otherwise could not. The lenses must be placed upon
the text to be read, and it only reveals or translates the text
it covers. If any of the text is a triggered spell such as a glyph
of warding or sepia snake sigil, the spell goes off and anyone
within range is affected accordingly. There is a 10% chance
that the reading lens is destroyed by such an event.

Ring of Marking: This appears as a normal signet ring,
save that the stone has been enchanted to produce its mark
whenever held against a nonliving object and the command
word is spoken. As arcane mark, the mark created does not
harm the marked object in any way and may be either visible
or invisible as the owner of the ring desires. The design may
be anything that can be carved on
a flat surface of a ring. A ring
of marking has three uses per

Rope of Balance: This otherwise ordinary 50-foot
length of silk rope has been enchanted such that the DC to
use it as a tightrope is reduced to 10. The rope may be slanted
at up to a 30-degree angle without increasing the DC. If the
26
slope is more than 30 degrees but less than 45, the DC increases
to 20. Above 45 degrees of slope, the user is no longer walking
but climbing, and the rope’s magic fails. At least a foot of the rope’s
length must be used at each end to secure it, so one rope may be
used to span a gap a maximum of 48 feet wide. The rope of balance
is completely normal in terms of durability and carrying capacity. If
it breaks or is severed, its enchantment is lost, leaving two shorter
pieces of normal silk rope.

Sarwit’s Savory Seasoning: Sold in one-ounce bags, Sarwit’s savory

not make raw or spoiled food healthy, just palatable. One bag of
seasoning contains about 50 uses.

Scrivener’s Pen: A scrivener’s pen is a small metal rod, about the size
of a pencil. It produces indelible marks on any nonliving substance
unless the marks are subjected to an erase spell. Marks can be made
on a living creature, but they will fade over the course of a month or
so. The creator decides what color the marks are, the most common
being black, white, and very occasionally red. Most scrivener’s pens
come to a point, but some have flat tips to produce broad lines.
Note that the scrivener’s pen may be used as an impromptu weapon
(at the same penalty as any other such) or as a tent stake or climbing
spike, but breaking it ruins its magic permanently.

Shroud of Repose: Made of fine linen or silk, the shroud of repose
preserves a corpse as gentle repose spell. The corpse is preserved as
long as it is wrapped in the shroud. For each size category smaller
than Medium, double the number of creatures that can be wrapped
in a given shroud; for each size larger, halve it. Thus, two halfling
corpses may be preserved by one shroud, but a Large creature
requires two shrouds.

Sleeping Powder: Sleeping powder resembles nothing so much
as fine sand. It is usually sold in parchment packets of 10 doses.
When ingested, it allows the user to fall asleep even under adverse
circumstances; adventuring spellcasters occasionally carry a few
doses to be sure of being able to rest and regain spells in the field.
The powder allows sleep rather than compelling it; only characters
who have missed at least the previous two nights’ rest need make a
Fortitude save to resist its effects. In addition, the sleep granted is
completely normal; the user has no extra difficulty awakening.

 Magic Items
Solomon’s Scarecrow: Most Solomon’s scarecrows are stuffed
humanoid effigies, but they can be made in any shape the creator
desires as long as they incorporate at least 1 lb of matter taken from
a creature that eats meat—hide, hair, bone, etc. Intended to be a
permanent ward for a given location, Solomon’s scarecrow grows
more effective the longer it remains in one place. A scarecrow placed
within the previous week will not keep away anything larger or
smarter than a beetle, but one that has been in the same field for
5 years deters even a deer. Affected animals do not willingly enter
a protected field, and attempt to leave it as quickly as possible if
placed there. Pollinating insects and carnivores are unaffected, as are
any creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or greater. A single Solomon’s
scarecrow can protect a field of up to 10,000 square feet, whose
boundaries must be defined when the scarecrow is placed; redefining
the boundaries afterwards counts as moving the scarecrow.
Faint necromancy; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, scare; Price:
12,000 gp; Weight up to 10 lbs for a human-sized dummy.
Speaking Stones: The two speaking stones of a pair transmit sound
between them at a range of up to 100 feet. Sets of more than two
stones are available, but each extra stone doubles the price, and
there is no way to direct the sounds; any sound heard by one stone
is transmitted to all other matched stones that are within range.
Encasing a speaking stone in lead prevents its magic from working
entirely. If any stone of a set is destroyed, the set’s magic fails.
Faint illusion or transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item,
message or ventriloquism; Price 1,000 gp/pair; Weight --.
Stall Mucker: Looking much like an ordinary pitchfork, the stall
mucker keeps the pens of livestock clear of waste. Activated by simple
command word, a single stall mucker can clear up to 2,500 square feet
of space—enough for approximately 20 horse-sized stalls.
Faint conjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, unseen servant;
Price 1,800 gp; Weight ½ lb.
Statue of Entangling: Favored by nobles for protecting their
gardens, the statue of entangling is a metal or stone figure, normally
of a humanoid. When the command word is spoken, the statue
affects an area within 50 feet of it in a manner similar to an entangle
spell. For twice the price, the creator may include alarm. In that
case, speaking the command word prepares the statue to create its
effect, but it does not do so until a creature enters the area it affects
without speaking the password—which is not the same as the
command word. A statue of entangling is a permanent installation;
once placed and activated, it cannot be moved without disrupting
its magical energies. It takes a week for the statue to settle into a
new place, during which time none of its abilities function. Anyone
knowing the command word may change the password.
Faint transmutation (and abjuration); CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous
Item, entangle, (and alarm for the upgraded version); Price 1,800 gp
or 3,600 gp; Weight 30 lbs.
Steadfast Compass: This hand-held item looks and functions
exactly like a normal compass, containing a needle that always
points north. The only visible difference is that the needle is steadier
than that in a magnetic compass, as the magic holds it straight north
at all times.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, know direction;
Price 1,000 gp; Weight --.
27
Talking Collar: This set of items includes a leather collar and
small pendant of stone or metal in the shape of an animal.
A character wearing the pendant may communicate with
the animal wearing the collar as if using a speak with animals
spell. The pendant determines the class of animal that can
wear the collar—a pendant in the shape of a cat is useless if its
corresponding collar is placed on a canine. Rich people and
nobles have been known to use these items to communicate
with favorite pets.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, speak
with animals; Price 4,000 gp; Weight --.
Timekeeper: The recent development of the know time spell
has led to the availability of small, portable devices which tell
time in a fashion much more accurate than a water clock.
They are still limited almost entirely to the wealthy, though
some military organizations have begun to realize how useful
it could be to have a simple method of coordinating multiple
groups of combatants. A timekeeper is usually a disk of metal
about 3 inches in diameter, with a face like that of a water
clock. Though it easily accounts for such things as regular
leap years, after creation its timekeeping system cannot be
changed, nor can it be reset to account for arbitrary, one-time
calendar adjustments. If the king decides to skip two weeks
because the calendar has drifted, a new timekeeper will be
needed.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, know
time; Price 1,000 gp; Weight --.
Trackless Shoes: When worn, these soft leather shoes obscure
the user’s footprints, adding +10 to the DC of any attempt
to track him by sight. Tracking attempts using scent or other
senses are unaffected. Both shoes must be worn by one being
for the magic to be effective. There are also trackless horseshoes,
sets of four that confer the same benefit on a horse, for an
equal price.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, pass
without trace; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Translation Pendant: A translation pendant grants its wearer
the ability to speak and understand a single language. She
does not gain the ability to read or write the language in
question unless already familiar with the alphabet it uses. (See
the PH for more information about the alphabets used by
various languages.) An effort to read or write can be made
even without this knowledge, but such endeavors will be far
from accurate. The language to which the pendant is keyed
is chosen by its creator and cannot afterwards be changed.
The creator must either speak the granted language himself
or have an assistant who does. In the latter case, the assistant
must be present during the entire creation process.
Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item,
comprehend languages or tongues; Price 2,000 gp; Weight --.
Tray of the Spectral Servant: Usually wooden in
construction, the tray of the spectral servant has been
enchanted to follow simple directions from a user who speaks
its command word. It can “follow,” “stay,” or “go” to a specific
location it has visited before. It may also be commanded to
“search” for a creature it has encountered before, though it

within a normal window frame of any size, where it will
automatically adjust its dimensions to fit perfectly when the
command word is spoken. The frame allows the window to be
open, admitting fresh air from the outside without letting in
unwanted bugs, noise, or bad smells. These items are popular
among wealthy citizens of large cities and sprawling rural
estates. If the command word is spoken a second time, Vordin’s
wondrous window frame reverts to its normal size.
