Glove of Storing

Glove of Storing – as a metatronic generator (using Pyramid 3-46)

This device is a simple leather glove. On command, one item held in the hand wearing the glove disappears, moving to an extradimensional space. The glove provides extra space for (wearer’s HP x wearer’s HP)/200 cubic feet of possessions. While you can multiply by 20 lbs./cubic foot to estimate weight, the contents aren’t affected by gravity and capacity doesn’t depend on the wearer’s ST. The stored item is in another dimension entirely and can’t be affected by any normal attack. A glove can only store one item at a time. With a snap of the fingers wearing the glove, the item reappears. Storing or retrieving the tiem is a free action. Costs 1 FP/hour.

Statistics: Payload 5 (Apparatus, +0%; Cosmic, Extraplanar, +50%; Magical, -10%; Nuisance Effect, Must fit in one hand, -5%; Nuisance Effect, One item at a time, -5%; Reduced Time 1, +20%; Requires words to activate and a snap to restore, -10%) [7].

NEW SPELL

Rusting Grasp

Keywords: Resisted (HT).

Full Cost: 21 points.

Casting Roll: Will. Use DX or unarmed combat skills to hit.

Range: Touch.

Duration: Three minutes.

The caster touches a metal item, causing it to rust and become fragile. The metal in question must be of a type that weakens in time with exposure to oxygen; copper, for example, changes color to green but does not weaken. The sorcerer must roll a Quick Contest of Will vs. the object’s HT+SM. If the target’s HT is unknown, assume that machines have HT 10 and simple objects have HT 12, modified for quality: -2 for cheap, +1 for fine, +2 for very fine.

If he wins, for the next three minutes the object’s HT is at -5 and its DR is reduced by 10; if it’s a weapon, treat it as cheap for breakage purposes, or an extra +2 to break if already cheap. If he loses or ties, there is no effect.

Rusting Grasp must affect objects as a whole; it cannot target part of an object. The GM has the final say over what constitutes a “whole” object.

This spell may be countered by casting Restore Metal.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Rusting objects only, -40%; Attribute Penalty, HT-5, +25%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 1, +100%; Melee Attack, Reach C, -30%; Negated Advantage, Reduced DR 10, +50%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [21].
