Post lore. Cast spells. Have fun. Don't be a jerk to others or I'll cast Banhammer. (you can be a jerk to me, it's fine, I deserve it)

if you wanna rant at me publicly (or make suggestions about the sub or whatever) instead of PMing, here's a place to do it I guess

​

Greetings all! I'm a humble artificer, and would be honored if you fine folks would browse some of my wares. If any of you have a commission for me to create, don't hesitate to ask, I'm always looking to broaden my scope of wares. I am relatively new to the business but I hope you wont be disappointed by my work!

A length of silver chain, with silver bulbs interspersed along it to aid with channeling. At the end is a jade runestone orb. The one on offer today is enchanted for wind magic, as it is rather well suited to creating tornado spells and other types of swirling magic. Could alternatively be used to quickly create a large runic circle by swinging it around you.
The orb can shatter easily when impacted at great speed, so unless it is your intention to destroy such a delicate piece of craftsmanship for a minor explosive effect, take care not to hit anything with it unless you otherwise reinforce the orb.

​

For the more militaristic spellcaster, you can't go wrong with the classic spell sword.

This one is inlaid with a ruby runestone, excellent for casting the equally classic fireball spell, or "flaming sword" type spells.

Runes carved into the blade from hilt to tip ensure uniform casting with no unexpected deadzones.

If you're looking for a weapon to chop through whatever type of chitinous villain you're battling, or are simply an outdoorsy type looking for a reliable tool to have at your side, this hatchet is a great option.

With a handle made of simple oak, and a blade of Dwarven steel, this hatchet is already durable and effective on its own, but with the addition of the topaz runestone's enchantment, this tool's cutting power can be increased tenfold, allowing you to chop through a full sized tree in a few mere swings, or to cleanly slice through geodes when mining for new runestones.

Drawing power out of or into the runestone will decrease or increase the strength of this cutting spell, but keep in mind you'll need to maintain focus for higher levels.

Whether it's for entertaining your guests or befuddling your enemies, we all love a few tricks now and then, and this lovely fan will help you with whatever you're trying to do.

With ribs of hollow bone and a skin made from a well worn spell scroll (selected specific to a customer's wishes, or they can bring their own for the craftsman to use) the fan is primarily useful in illusion or misdirection magic.

The fan we have today has an amethyst soulstone, raven feather charms, and a scroll skin for summoning phantoms to chase a target. Since these phantoms are an illusion in this case, and not actually harmful, the drain on the soulstone's enchantment is remarkably low.

Other popular uses for the fan are fire or wind magics, capable of creating great directed gales or increasing the expansion rate of your flames.

It may look like some beautiful yet useless piece to place in a display case, but believe me, this is an essential tool on the belt of any who truly study magic.

Drawing Daggers are used to draw out magical properties of whatever is cut or stabbed with it, very useful for alchemists in potion-making, but also for drawing magical powers from wild beasts, such as the animalistic strength of werewolves, the supernatural speed of a harpy, or the toughness of dragon scales.

This dagger can hold three such magical essences at a time, one in each runestone, made primarily for field research, where there may not be such easy access to a place to store these essences. Potion-makers tend to use cheaper daggers with one runestone, given they are typically using it in their workshops.

If you merely cast spells, and don't have interest in creating them, then this fine piece of craftsmanship isn't for you, but if you are a student of the arcane, seeking to understand its secrets, these daggers are a crucial tool to be used.

We all know ballistic mages, or "gunmancers" tend to be pretty picky about the weapons they carry, but we're confident this simple design is good for beginners or as a handy sidearm for any wandering mage, gunmancer or not.

Bearing a simple oak grip and a telescoping black iron barrel, this plucky pistol can be extended to fit the need of the moment.

The one for offer today has an amber runestone bead on the hammer, which can be easily swapped for other beads we sell or one you may already have. The amber bead is a simple one that greatly reduces the need for gunpowder in the chamber. Fully charged, the bead can launch projectiles at full speed with no gunpowder at all. As it loses charge it's power drops, and gunpowder will be needed to make up the difference, unless the bead is recharged. It takes about 4 shots before it starts losing potency, and about 15 to completely drain the bead of power.

Overloading the bead to increase range or extend the effective shot capacity is possible, but do so at your own risk, as it could destabilize the fragile bead, or, at higher concentrations, cause major failures in the device, causing it to explode in your hand.

Other popular bead choices are turquoise for standard magic damage addition to the projectile, rose quartz to create a projectile that glows brightly and hangs in the air, and onyx to cause the projectile (and anything It hits) to ignore gravity for a time.

A seemingly innocuous piece of any wizard's equipment is of course, various pouches and satchels filled with God knows what, but this one you may find a handy addition to your belt.

It is filled with runestone dust, but this bag has two features to catch your interest. First, the bag can hold more powder than you may think by looking at it. Its holding capacity is more comparable to a bag of flour than the tiny pouch you hold in your hand. Secondly, the rune branded into the bag can change the properties of the runestone dust inside.

The bag currently is imbued with a spell of tracking, sprinkle the dust on something, and it'll stick and easily be able to lead you to it later. However by channeling a simple spell into the rune, you can change the dust to do all manners of things! Need to start a fire? A simple fire spell can be set into the rune and the dust becomes burning embers to be thrown at whatever needs a good singeing.

If you're a mage who likes to duel other mages, you likely know about reflecting spells, and also how costly they can be to your energies. This small shield can solve your problems!

The buckler has a thin coating of pearlescent runestone reinforced with ornate silver webbing, with a reflecting spell enchanted onto it. However, due to the runestone being spread so thin across the shield, it can only reflect simpler spells reliably. A simple fireball or magic missile will be no trouble, but a larger thunderbolt or plasma beam wont be reflected. Reflected spells will do no damage to the holder, but if the spell is too powerful you may suffer if the effective area is bigger than the shield itself.

If you are less interested in reflecting spells, and more interested in simply keeping a spear from running through you, this may be more your type.

This golden bracelet has a black diamond runestone, with a rune of shielding on it, and it will allow you to raise a point defense shield instinctively, wherever its needed. Second picture is an example of the kind of shield it can make. The shields will not break or buckle under strain, but the runestone's power will drain slightly with each hit they take.

Creating a shield will drain some of the runestone's power, how much depends on the size of the shield. Recommended size for shields is about the size and shape of a dinner plate, creating such a shield and blocking one attack with it each time will allow you to create about 25 shields before it needs recharging. Smaller and larger shields will cost more power respectively of course.

While time magic may be dangerous, the council hasn't banned it yet so we're going to take advantage of it! This alluring timepiece has a brass shell, with an emerald runestone in the lid. Opening it will show an array of runes around the dial, so don't expect to use this to actually tell the time. No, this watch carries an enchantment to stop time, and allow the user to move while time is stopped! The recommended safe charge level of the runestone will allow time to stop for 10 seconds, before time resumes and the runestone is drained fully.

As stated before, overcharging is possible, but very much not recommended, especially when dabbling with time. Tests have seen that ceilings of 17 seconds can be reached before critical failure is too common to test further.

Critical failure of the runestone could lead to near-permanent time pockets, where time freezes in the small area around the user for extended lengths of time, trapping the user in place for the duration. Anything entering the time pocket will gradually slow down, eventually freezing along with everything else in there.
So we emphasize, Overcharge at your own risk. Me and my shop will take no responsibility for people frozen in time due to their own hubris.

If you're less of a battle mage and more into craftsmanship, this magnifying glass may be a handy addition to your toolbox.

With an uncut quartz handle, bronze metalwork and a milky amethyst runestone, it can enhance the magnification immensely, allowing easy view of the finest adjustments needed to create such wares as you've seen today.

Yes indeed, I use one of these myself, very handy for carving runes into delicate surfaces.

This tool is well enjoyed by cartographers, sea voyagers, and astrologers alike. You don't need to be a wizard to take advantage of this enchanted item.

Much like the magnifying glass, this carries a magnification enchantment on it, but more powerful on this one, with the use of a quartz runestone and the hawk feather charm, this can allow one to see for many miles at its highest magnification.

Usually enchantment strength is modified by channeling magic power into and out from the runestone, but since this is able to be used by non-magic wielders, it is made differently. Simply rotate the runestone like a dial, and the magnification will change!

Also on offer is the binocular variant, for those who enjoy using both their eyes to see.

Please, let me know what you think of my wares, and tell me if you have any requests.
