- Charm Grenade - February 2020:
Name:
Charm Grenade
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Item
Description:
Innocent enough, this grenade you picked up is heart-shaped and smells like the most decadent chocolate-covered strawberries! Being a grenade, it is made for the pin to be pulled and tossed at people, and once you do so, a lovely red mist will billow out. People who inhale the haze might find themselves inexplicably charmed by you! How handy when things are getting a bit too hostile! Just make sure you keep the pin and retrieve the grenade afterward. It produces its own contents once the pin is reinserted, so in time it can be used again.
Be wary, though! Should you also breathe the harmless fumes, you may find yourself rather charmed as well!
Abilities:
Name: Parfum!
Description: The lovely scented gas that spreads within a 15-meter area will disarm even the most disagreeable of shop owners, making haggling much easier once they actually like you. Of course, this works on more than just greedy businessmen, and the whole point is no matter how brutish or hideous you are, suddenly those affected by the grenade will find you charming and could grow quite affectionate!
Warning: Those affected by this might also become inexplicably charmed by anything around them, from every person in the vicinity to every inanimate object. It can get very weird.
[If the other is a player character, a player-owned NPC or an Event NPC the user must have OOC permission to use this ability.]

- Tickle Tease - February 2020:
Name:
Tickle Tease
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Item
Description:
We won’t say what kind of person invented his peculiar item, but the woman who picked it up one day to defend herself against some thugs found it was not a typical weapon. Instead of snapping flesh and choking to inflict pain or even death, it had her enemies giggling and writhing on the floor in bliss! The poor woman was able to escape, but that was decidedly not what she’d had in mind for her attackers. But she was an enterprising woman, so soon she managed to mass-produce the anti-weapon for the public’s general enjoyment and struck it filthy rich!
Abilities:
Name: Excite Me
Description: Whipping people usually hurts, right? Well, if you’re into pain, this whip is not for you! Tickle Tease does the opposite! Depending on the person, this rose-tipped whip can only make people feel good! It can either tickle or inflict pleasure, depending on the person and their feelings toward the user. Not useful in a fight at all, but it can certainly be fun in other scenarios.

March
- Invisus - March 2020:
Name:
Invisus
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Ring
Description:
A man of dubious morals once commissioned a mage specializing in magic item creation for several rings. He never specified what he wanted them for, but it appears he’s given them out at some point over the years. Invisibility is granted to whoever places this ring on their finger, but like all things, there’s a price to be paid. The man altered the rings, corrupting them for reasons unknown. With extended use, the wearer is haunted by a shadowy spirit while going unseen. The spirit slowly encroaches with each passing moment until they can touch the wearer.
Should this happen, a purple symbol will appear on the wearer, and once they become visible again, their personality will twist drastically for the worst. Some even become violent, but thankfully the effects are temporary. A small price to pay for a backup escape plan, right?
Abilities:
Name: Caecus Corrumpere
Description: Giving the ring a twist on the finger will activate the purple stone, igniting ancient runes carved into the band and releasing a dark aura. The user and one other person, should they be touching someone, will slip immediately out of sight. As long as neither person uses even a shred of their magic power, they will remain completely imperceptible to other beings, though not invulnerable. If used for longer than sixty seconds, the shadowy creature only seen while invisible will touch the user and temporarily corrupt their personality. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on or against a player character, a player-owned NPC or an Event NPC]

April
- SHG-IV - April 2020:
Name:
SHG-IV
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Glasses
Description:
Smart Holographic Glasses - Model 4 are special glasses, powered by a complex computer made of magical lacrimas. They need to work with the Ilac, available in the Neutral Zone, to unlock its full potential. This nifty device can be used to call the contacts from your Ilac, it has a built-in microphone and earphone. It can also take pictures and film what you are looking at through powerful cameras in the frame of the glasses. The most amazing feature of this device must be its holographic projection on the glasses themselves, which can play back videos or enable you to look at pictures with ease. It can also be used to highlight objects or even people. This makes it easier to find your keys or it can aid in combat by using the markers.
Abilities:
Name: HUD
Description: The built-in computer has the capability to assess the strength and health of opponents, showing both as bars above their heads. This works on non-essential NPCs, and, with OOC permission, on Players, player-owned NPCs, or Event NPCs. If permission is denied it would show an error message.
Name: Advanced Targeting
Description: The SHG-IV can analyze opponents and find weak spots in their armor and defenses. The wearer can exploit this by hitting these spots to bring down the opponent quicker. This can only be used in PvP or against Players, player-owned NPCs, and Event NPCs when OOC permission has been given.

- IIC - April 2020:
Name:
IIC
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Watch
Description:
IIC stands for Infinite Improbability Chronometer. A guy was just handing these out at a sci-fi convention in Magnolia Town, claiming each one would "get anyone who wound it into their own space station somewhere out in the universe". It was a very specific way he always said it, and he had a reason. The person using an IIC never actually physically moves. The universe around them does, and the person simultaneously exists in every location in every dimension of the universe for just a moment before they suddenly only exist in one place again: the space station. Other than that, the man couldn't- or wouldn't- explain why several IICs existed, why the space stations were just empty and floating around, or why he didn't have the actual coordinates to any of them, or anything even near them. Each IIC he handed out looked identical, but they always led to their individual designated stations. There was no more information than that. Eerie, right? Still, what harm can there be in investigating? Maybe the mystery as to why they were abandoned can be solved ... for better or for worse. Might at least be a nice place to hide yourself or your stuff ...
Abilities:
Name: So Long!
Description: By winding the watch exactly forty-two times, the user and anything they touch will be zapped out of Earthland and immediately into their own personal space station. Asking the watch "What's the ultimate question?" will send the user back to the exact spot they warped from. Whether any time passes on Earthland while they are gone depends on if the user lets the watch tick on while on the station or not. Also, when they first arrive either in the space station or back in Earthland, the user could experience some infinitely improbable side effects which might either temporarily change the environment around them or their own physical selves. There's also a surprisingly high improbable probability of a giant whale keeping you company for at least thirty seconds. He can talk, but he's quite baffled by his sudden pop into existence, doesn't know he's a whale, and is gone before he can get used to it all. The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC or an Event NPC.

May
- Pathfinder - May 2020:
Name:
Pathfinder
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Map
Proof of Purchase:
Here
Description:
This map will help you find a way where there is no way!
But it seems you also need a bit of luck with this map. Most of the time it will lead you where you want to go. It’ll try to tempt you off your path, though, by showing you hidden areas of interest that are sure to grant you adventure and riches! Every now and then it gets a wild hair, and if you give in and stray off the path, you might not like what you find.
Abilities:
Name: Adventure Time!
Description: Opening up the scroll and speaking out a personalized incantation will magically reveal the area around you for several hundred miles. Just tell it where you wish to go and it will plot a course to it. The user will never be lost again! However, it makes no promises that the route it has plotted will be the safest one, and it also tries its best to tempt the user and potentially their party off the plotted course by revealing points of interest. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC]

October
- Misfortune Cookie - October 2019:
Name:
Misfortune Cookie
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Cookie
Description:
Deep in a back alley, there was a restaurant that sold kebabs. The kebab-man had always ordered from the shop beside him for lunch, and every time he was disappointed with the fortune cookies meant to leave him smiling after a nice meal. The fortunes were terrible! So idealistic and fuzzy, they were simply no help at all and had no place in a world as difficult as this!
Looking to get a leg up on his neighbor, he thought that maybe he’d offer something a little different. Maybe a cookie that offered honest, realistic advice! He placed an order from a creepy magazine that appeared under his door, and within hours there was a box of black fortune cookies on his doorstep! Cracking one open to check it revealed a weird and ominous message, "You ate too much, and soon you’ll bloat. And now your head belongs to a goat!" and suddenly, it was true! At least they only last a few hours ...
Abilities:
Name: Unfortunate Fortune
Description: As soon as someone cracks the black cookie, its hidden slip of paper with strange words bestows some sort of unlucky but ultimately harmless curse on the reader. Side effects usually include changes in skin color, body parts changing to animal counterparts, shrinking and growing, tasting colors, coughing bubbles, etc. Great for pranks and chaos.

November
- Elemenie - November 2019:
Name:
Elemenie
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Bottle
Description:
Eons ago, the four elements spontaneously combined into a race of curious magical creatures called a Elemenies, which is short for elemental genies. Also eons ago, a powerful proto-mage managed to trick the poor creatures into signing contracts and thus enslaved the poor Elemenies for all of time. Their homes are now exotic glass bottles with matching caps to keep them trapped in style. Whoever comes into possession of a Elemenie bottle is now the proud owner of a real, live genie that can grant you wishes!
Since there are an unknown amount of Elemenie bottles out in Earthland, the individual appearance, gender, and personality of the one contained within each bottle is as varied as any other humanoid race. Essentially it’s like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get! However, one personality trait common to all Elemenies is their fear of violence and other scary things. They are absolute cowards. It makes them utterly useless in combat and PvP situations.
Abilities:
Name: You Ain’t Never Hadda Friend Like Me
Description: Yes, this Elemenie uses their adept control over the four main elements to create pretty much anything the user asks for. Unlike other genies from tales of old, they can grant unlimited wishes to those who think to spend a wish on such a thing, but they still cannot kill or bring people back to life ... not because of a contract, but because they’re scaredy cats. Warning: Be careful what you wish for! Every action has an equal consequence. Also, Elemenies have been trapped in bottles for a very long time, so there’s a high chance they will misunderstand what you want. Any wish affecting other players or their NPCs in any way will require OOC permission from that player.

December
- Copy of Jack Frost’s Key - December 2019:
Name:
Copy of Jack Frost’s Key
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Key
Description:
Have you ever wondered how, no matter how nice your house is, it seems like the winter chill always gets in? Well, wonder no more! It’s actually because Jack Frost has a handy little key that will let him into any house, and he opens windows and doors when you aren’t looking to let his chilly breath in! And even though that sounds like a really jerk thing to do, he’s not all bad. Once a year he lends it to jolly old Saint Nick, so he can get into the houses without chimneys to leave presents for the good girls and boys.
This year, though, it seems like one of Santa’s elves has gone rogue and decided to cause a whole lot of mischief. He’s somehow managed to make copies of Jack Frost’s key and has handed them out to random people! Maybe this was his way to test people more thoroughly for the naughty and nice list next year?
Abilities:
Name: No Chimney, No Problem!
Description: This icy key will unlock any lock, anywhere, on anything as long as it’s not rusted or too hard to turn. The key is made of brittle ice, after all. Keep frozen until ready to use. [Requires OOC permission to use the key on another PC’s/ Event locks.]

- Mistletroll - December 2019:
Name:
Mistletroll
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Non-Combat Pet
Description:
This little guy has the spirit of romance on his mind. He shows up whenever and however he wishes, posing as the very plant he looks like; Mistletoe. He flits in over two unsuspecting peoples’ heads, hanging really still but making sure to make a jingle noise to alert them to look up. The whole goal is to try to make people as awkward as possible by making them kiss!
Abilities:
Name: Kiss Kiss Fall In Love!
Description: Mistletroll will fly in at seemingly the most random of times and position itself over a pair of heads, making a jingly sound as if a breeze just happened to blow through it. If people adhere to the tradition, those caught under it are supposed to kiss. If they do kiss, Mistletroll will shower glitter down upon them and disappear. If they don’t, he’ll attempt to moodily pull their hair. [Requires OOC permission, obviously.]
