Treasure: D-Items

NEW ITEMS
Darkskull
Darkskull – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)
This
skull, carved from ebony, is wholly evil. Wherever the skull goes, the area within
16 yards of it is treated as an area of twisted mana (GURPS Thaumatology, p. 60).
Statistics: Twisted
Mana Generator (Increased Area, 16 yards, +150%; Magical, -10%) [36]. Usually
On. Skull, x0.4; 15 EP.
TL3
Price: 2 x ($70 + 15 x $320) = $9,740.
TL8 Price: 2 x ($1,400 + 15 x $1,180)
= $38,200.
Darkskull – as a metatronic generator (using Pyramid
3-46)
This
skull, carved from ebony, is wholly evil. Wherever the skull goes, the area within
16 yards of it is treated as an area of twisted mana (GURPS Thaumatology, p. 60). Costs 1 FP per hour.
Statistics:
Twisted Mana Generator (Apparatus, +0%; Increased Area, 16 yards, +150%;
Magical, -10%) [36].
TL3
Cost: 2 x 36 x $150 = $10,800.
TL8 Cost: 2 x 36 x $3,000 = $216,000.
Deck of
Illusions
Deck of Illusions – as an enchanted item (using
Sorcery)
This
set of parchment cards is usually found in an ivory, leather, or wooden box. A
full deck consists of thirty-four cards. When a card is drawn at random and
thrown to the ground anywhere within 10 yards, a major image of a creature is
formed. The figment lasts until dispelled, dismissed, or when the user is
knocked unconscious. Maintaining an illusion requires no action, but costs 1 FP
per minute. The illusory creature cannot move more than 16 yards away from
where the card landed, but otherwise moves and acts as if it were real. At all
times it obeys the desires of the character who drew the card. When the
illusion is dispelled, the card becomes blank and cannot be used again. If the
card is picked up, the illusion is automatically and instantly dispelled. The
cards in a deck and the illusions they bring forth are summarized on the
following table. (Use one of the first two columns to simulate the contents of
a full deck using either ordinary playing cards or tarot cards.)
