Gate Key

When properly operated, the gate key can be used to attune any bounded space, such as a doorway or a cave opening, to another bounded space on another plane of existence previously visited by the wielder. When two bounded spaces are attuned, an interdimensional portal springs up at each location, and the two portals are connected. When the wielder creates a pair of portals, he or she also establishes the necessary key that travelers must have to access the portal. Possible keys include nothing, a pearl, a particular hair color, or even the gate key itself. Up to sixty different pairs of portals can be attuned in this manner. Once all sixty pairs of portals are created, the key cannot create additional gates, though it may still be the necessary key to access some or all of the portals. To any creature without the proper key, the interdimensional portals are not visible (through See Invisible or similar magic reveals their presence).

Mantle of Great Stealth

Mantle of Great Stealth – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery, indestructible armor)

A mantle of great stealth enables its wearer and everything he is wearing to appear to be part of his surroundings. It also dampens the sounds produced by the wearer.

In addition, mantle protects the wearer from Information spells, like the Scryguard spell. The mantle reduces the diviner’s effective margin of success by 10 for these purposes – so a spell that succeeded by 0-9 completely fails to find the subject, while one that succeeded by 10+ provides less information than normal and is at a huge disadvantage if it’s resisted. Costs 1 FP/minute.
