Items
Libram Strategica Minima
This brass-bound book could barely be called such. It has only 10 pages, and it looks like a herd of nail-footed cattle decided to stamede all over it. Touching it, you hear faint words coming from inside the book. Inside is a small crystal that says:
"You know, today is a good day to prepare Levitate and Acid Sphere. Also, don't touch anything with blue circles..."
The Libram Strategica Minima is the third in a series of magical guides, including the Libram Magnanima and the Libram Flora, created by John Librara. It was designed as a help-guide for everyday problems people may have. If only it was perfected before Librara was burnt to death by an arsonist.
The Libram Strategica Minima has three main features. Firstly, a small amber crystal can tell you helpful hints about the day ahead. This acts as a Divination spell cast by an 11th level cleric, usable once a day.
Secondly, the libram contains 10 spells as pages. These are included as scrolls in the creation of the book, and may be spells from the wizard and cleric spell lists. It can be used as a Wizard's Spellbook or as normal scrolls. the pages disappear if use as scrolls.
John Librara was a fan of checkers. To defend himself, he added a final ability. Once per day, the owner of the book can summon 2d4 Chekars and 1 Chekar King, under the command of the summoner. These last for 2 minutes or until defeated.
Faint Divination, Conjuration, and Universal. CL 11th. Craft Wonderous Item, Scribe Scroll, divination, summon monster III, ten scrolls. Market Price: 26400 gp. Cost to Create: 13200 gp and 1056 xp.
Malus's Mirror of Mathematic Magick
This mirror doesn't have any trimming or edges. It is as though the mirror was a polished stone. The markings on the surface switch from 1+1 to 3-2 to 5x2 and so on.
Malus was a genius. He discovered Cobler's equation, which calculates the amount of power needed to power a small town. His invented the Millikam, or the amount of magic to make a 1 gram pebble float. He was so intelligent that he was the first mortal Strategien to rule the Plane of Intellect. This is one of the tools he made to help him in his studies.
Malus's Mirror is a simple mirror with three simple enchantments. When placed on a pile of objects, it will tell you the exact worth in gold of the entire group altogether. This can be used as a free action.
It can also be used to measure the amount of magic in the area in Millikams. 1 to 120 means slightly magical. 130-250 means moderatly magical. 260-400 mean greatly magical. 415+ mean godly or artifact magic. It can be hard to read, since Millikam measurement have varied over the years.
Finally, It can use Malus's Mathematics 2/day as a 5th level wizard.
Moderate Divination. CL 5th. Craft Wonderous Item, Identify, Detect Magic, Malus's Mathematics. Market Cost: 1100 gp. Cost to Create: 550 gp and 44 xp.
Chekar Coin
This is a small wooden "coin", painted red or black, and with a star imprinted on one side and a crown on the other. There seems to be nothing strange about it.
This is another small invention of John Librara. If tossed and lands on the ground, it will summon a Chekar to fight for the tosser for 1 minute, or until slain. Once used, the coin is destroyed. There are rumors of another kind of Chekar coin that summons a Chekar King instead...
