- Soaring Whim - Feb 2019:
Name:
Soaring Whim
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Sky Lantern
Description & Appearance:
A carefully crafted anomaly, the Soaring Whim is a sky lantern that carries the wishes of an individual, the flames rising it into the heavens simply for the hopes of having a good year. However, the exceedingly rare magic-endued lantern also allows its user to use it as a passage of sorts, essentially teleporting them the lantern’s own faraway location.
Abilities:
Name: Greetings from the Farthest Shore
Rank: User Rank (Caps at C)
Type: Passive
Description:
To use this ability, all one has to do is send their lantern somewhere by writing the location onto it. A Soaring Whim allows for someone to essentially teleport to it from however far away they desire, whether it be across the globe or two blocks away. However, when one does teleport to Lantern they can’t interact with anything and nothing notices them, only allowing simple observations. Also, they can only stray a maximum of user burst range from their lantern before making it move more or just returning back to their original location.

April
- 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:
Post n°15
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]
July
- How To Get Easy Beach Wave Hair - July 2019:
Name:
How To Get Easy Beach Wave Hair
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Gimmick Item
Description:
The small ampule appears to contain a mini ocean. The waves are hypnotic and calming. If you put it up to your ear you can hear it, but you might look a little silly, especially if the full-size ocean is right in front of you...
Abilities:
Name: Wave Spray
Description: Twisting off the end of the ampule will release the mini ocean! Oh no! Oh wait, it just clings to your body in a thin layer and bestows upon the user’s hair the godliest beach waves and heavenly salty air scent. Look at you, you beach bum!
Maybe it should also be mentioned that it allows the user to breathe underwater, but clearly gorgeous beach waves in the hair are way more important here.

August
- Moody Hues - August 2019:
Name:
Moody Hues
Rank:
Weak
Type:
August 2019 Gimmick Item
Description:
It’s unclear how you came into possession of this brown sack of colorful gems, but one thing is certain; they are monetarily worthless! Despite their glistening clarity and brilliant colors, no one will barter for them. However, you do notice that when thrown hard enough, they poof into a little powder, and people that are exposed to them start to act a little funny.
Abilities:
Name: Rainbow Feels
Description: Each gem seems to stand for a certain emotion. Getting within proximity of these vibrant gems or inhaling the dust can affect a person’s mood. As for what color correlates with what mood, well, that’s for you to find out.

September
- Phontas Bling - September 2019:
Name:
Phontas Bling
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Ring
Description:
Slip this autumn-y ring on one of your fingers or on a necklace and suddenly, when anyone speaks a language you don’t understand, a burst of orange and red leaves fly out of it and straight up your nose! Don’t sneeze!
Abilities:
Name: Can You Sing With All the Voices...?
Description: Once you snort literal autumn leaves from the ring, like magic (because it is magic), you can suddenly break any language barrier like you’ve been a linguist your whole life!
Hopefully, you aren’t allergic to musty dead leaves.

- Drift - September 2020:
Name:
Drift
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Purchase:
Post n°16
Description:
Ever needed to get somewhere quickly, but there were absolutely no modes of transportation nearby? Tired of trekking up those mountains on foot or by a slow goat? Is the weather bad enough to cancel your travel plans, but there’s an unmovable deadline or emergency? Any time is a good time for Drift! Drift stands for Dragon Lift, and this flute serves as a one-way ticket to reliable travel! Simply play a tune and a dragon will appear within minutes with a metal carriage built for up to six people clasped in its claws. Tell it where you wish to go and away it’ll fly!
Abilities:
Name: Da Capo Doot
Description: By playing a tune on this dragon flute, the user summons a transportation dragon to carry them and some friends anywhere they wish to go. The dragons do not fight and should combat break out, they will drop their carriage and fly away until it is safe again. A word of warning, the skill with which the tune is played heavily affects the type, personality, speed, and overall quality of the dragon summoned, as well as the safety level of the carriage the user will ride in. Play too poorly and you may get Sniffles the Perpetually Ill or even Gaseus the Flatulent. Users may want to practice their musical skills before long trips. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or Event NPC as well as associated magics belonging to those mentioned.]
October
- Dandle - October 2019:
Name:
Dandle
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Candle
Description:
A dangerous candle, also known as a Dandle. It slipped its way into your pocket when you passed an occult store. It always seems to pop up in bags and pockets you didn’t put it into, or maybe with some other harmless candles. It’s not recommended you light it unless you love being scared witless, which is unfortunate since it can light itself ...
Abilities:
Name: Black Light
Description: Lighting this candle will suck every bit of light out of a room or a 10m radius! The pitch darkness caused also contains shrieks, cold spots, and the general sense of being haunted. Enjoy!

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.

- Trancewalkers - November 2020:
Name:
Trancewalkers
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition:
Post n°21
Description:
Using these special spirit crystals, you and your friends can walk on another plane of existence! With enough intense meditation, anyone holding these blessed stones can enter a trance and project their spirit out of their body in the natural realm into the spirit realm. Once there, you can explore and meet exciting spirits! You’ll meet spirits of all types; past lives, spirit guardians, ancient wise souls, terrifying menaces. You can commune with them as long as you’d like, but make sure your bodies are somewhere safe. Time may pass faster in the spirit realm, but spending a lot of time will leave you vulnerable in the real world. And I don’t think I need to tell you what happens if you die in the spirit world.
Abilities:
Name: The Pondering
Description: By taking at least one of these spirit stones in hand, a few moments of quiet meditation can open a whole new world to the user and their allies. Walking among the spirits has many benefits and just as many risks, but it’s always an adventure. The physical bodies left behind will become covered in glowing markings while you’re in the spirit world, and if the glowing continues upon your return, you may have brought back a passenger in your body, so be careful of that [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC].
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.]

- Saving Grace - December 2020:
Name:
Saving Grace
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition:
Post n°17
Description:
Find somewhere you want to return to quickly, but it took forever to get there and you need to leave to get food or heal or use the bathroom or something? This highly ornate and handy item will be your saving grace! Just place the golden spike into any flat surface you wish and it blossoms into a floating, glowing dongle over a magical base. Just think of the place you left it and POOF! you’ll be standing there once more.
If you buy one now, you get a smaller beacon that you can plant at the place you’re returning to, so you can teleport back and forth between the two no matter the distance! Convenient, right?
Abilities:
Name: Reload
Description: By setting up Saving Grace outside of whatever cave, dungeon, friend’s house, town, etc. you please, you may return there whenever you wish without all the effort. Using the free smaller beacon, you can place it somewhere like a home base or wherever you might need to go to replenish supplies before adventuring more, so you can quickly pop between the points and get twice the exploring done! You can easily pick up where you left off [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC].
