Unusual Magic Items

Alchemist's Rod of Evil Transformation

This ornately carved obsidian rod is designed to destroy evil items and capture the energies within and then use this energy within good creations. It works as follows: The rod is touched to the evil item by someone who know some of the Alchemist Base Lists. The evil item makes an RR vs. 100 level to see if it is drained or not. If it fails, the magic is drained from the item and the item becomes non-magical (and must be disabled and reformed for its components to be used in a magic item). If it succeeds, it is immune to the effects of the rod. When touched by an alchemist (someone who knows Alchemist Base Lists) to an item being enchanted, the magical energies can be used immediately with spells available to the alchemist. Any enchantments made this way automatically get the limitation - does not work for evil users. The Rod can hold up to 1000 levels of enchantments and cannot drain an item if there is not room for its magic.

Crystal Orb of Illium

This 15' diameter crystal orb is a very powerful scrying device. It has 64 scrying surfaces which can be used separately or combined. It is +100 to divination cumulative and has a +150 to overcome scrying protections (with an additional +25 for each surface above 1 used), has no range penalties for ranges under 10,000 miles, -10 for each doubling of range after 10,000 miles (with one doubling penalty neutralized for each surface above one used), and can when 4 or more surfaces are used scry to alternate dimensions at a -100 penalty (with -5 penalty negated for each surface above 4 that are used). If at least 16 surfaces are used, a portal can be opened between a point near the orb and the place scryed upon; this portal is virtually undetectable in the distant location. When all 64 surfaces are used, a 360 view of the location scried is provided.

The orb has two golden rods associated with it that can create a 30' diameter sphere of force around the sphere with the sphere in a dual-dimensional state protecting it for unauthorized entry with two portals that are open-able and close-able by the rods but those attuned to the orb can pass through the sphere of force at will. The rods must remain outside of the sphere and always remain within 100' of the orb.

The orb is currently possessed by the spirit of Mexalor the Diviner, a powerful good Seer who can at his option improve or hinder user's divinations by ±50. Mexalor can also communicate verbally to those within 10' of the orb and is aware of all activity within 10' of the orb.

Gem of Heightened Abilities for Philanthropists

This appears to be a 5 carat emerald inside of a 40 carat diamond. After possessing for a month and mediating on the gem daily, the possessor improves two of his stat potentials, one of his choice and another different one determined randomly. It can only benefit an individual once. The benefits are permanent unless the possessor sells the gem in any fashion, in which case the potentials are permanently reduced by twice the amount gained . The amount of increase is determined according to the formula:

If Potential <= 50, New Potential = 1.5 * Potential + d10, round down

If 50 < Potential <= 75, New Potential = 1.1 * Potential + d10, round down

If 75 < Potential <= 95, New Potential = Average (100,Potential), round down (and a 25% chance of +1 more repeated until unsuccessful)

If 95 < Potential <= 98, New Potential = Potential + 2 (and a 25% chance of +1 more repeated until unsuccessful).

If 98 < Potential, New Potential = Potential + 1 (and a 10% chance of +1 more repeat until unsuccessful).

The Lamp of Ali Shem Rathonir Al'Fahim Al'Kabob

This old somewhat worn bronze oval lamp measuring roughly 14" by 6" by 4" with a round lid and a raised spout appears to be an ordinary lamp used for lighting during nighttime hours.

The Magnificent Carriage

This deep brown carriage appears to be a normal four-wheeled carriage used by the wealthy and powerful of society to travel. It is 8-foot wide, 15-foot long, 7-foot high inside, made of ornate woods with a metal frame, has two padded benches facing each other inside, doors on each side, a bench on top for the driver, twin lights on the front, a rear-mounted bench for footmen, and a luggage rack on top. Each padded bench opens to reveal a compartment underneath it, the one nearer to the front maintains a constant temperature of 35° F. An insignia of two golden griffins facing outwards and flying upwards can be found on the front and on each door. Powers: An attuned driver sitting on the driver's bench can: (1) get the carriage to move without horses on ground at 300'/rnd. or to fly without horses at 150'/rnd, (2) turn the carriage and its contents (inside and out) invisible or visible, and (3) activate/de-active the twin headlights which illuminate a cone extending up to 300' out from the carriage and 100' wide. The carriage resists magic as a 50th level creature with +100 to all RR's. It is indestructible to non-magic forces. An attuned individual can touch the insignia on the front of the carriage and command it to transform into a 2" x 2" metal plaque depicting the griffins and back again, provided that no living creature is in or on the carriage.
