With all of this it s no small wonder that many have fought and died over its possession and the current whereabouts of the casket are unknown for being an object not bound by the physics of our reality there is no magical or psychic way of locating it even deities are unable to detect or locate it including those with the Secrets Domain Sphere Like the rest of The Regalia of Saeros the casket does not have an aura when viewed with powers such as detect magic or see psychic auras and only those who can assense it could detect its oddities On an assense check DC 20 the character detects something strange about it DC 25 that it doesn t seem to be fully real DC 30 that it seems to be a temporal anomaly and isn t actually there DC 35 it is not part of this reality DC 40 it is from another Universe Reality Chronomancers have a 5 competence bonus to their assense checks on this relic Rod of the Sorcerer Kings Fist of Saeros History Far back before recorded history legend claims there was another Universe In a final conflict between The powers of Time and Entropy the Universe fell to chaos and all souls were swept into the nothingness until the cosmos could be rebuilt Only a few beings or entities survived this devastation along with a few amazing items of power Saeros claimed to be a survivor of the old Universe surviving by means of his Temporal Soul Casket The regalia that he carried from the 1 through 3 Saero

4. If a group attempts to initialize a staff with less MFE they risk mishaps during the procedure to add charges and even if successful when doing so they additionally risk spell mishap when using the completed staff For every 10MFE short of the safe 200MFE here is a 5 chance of mishap every time the group adds a charge For each 1MFE short of the safe 200 there is a 1 chance every time the staff is used that it will exhibit some off undesirable behaviors or cause a mishap Adding Charges as a Group Groups making one staff add charges individually as normal but each mage can add charges simultaneously with all of his collaborators If multiple people work together to add a power that has uses per day so long as they all know the requisite spell or power they may split the permanent drain cost across all of them evenly Therefore if 10 wizards collaborate to make a staff that can cast fireball once per round they would roll 1d90 The average roll would e 45 and thus each of the ten wizards would suffer S5FMEFE in permanent drain 45 10 4 5 rounded up to 5 Finalizing as a group The cost for finalizing a staff as a group is equal to the normal cost of finalizing it multiplied by 2 5 For example with the staff of fire and telekinesis mentioned above the cost for one crafter to finalize it is 18MFe of permanent drain on average To finalize this staff as a group the finalization cost is 4sMFE 18 2 5 45 of per

14. or otherwise illuminate for a brief time Usually the more powerful the spell the more obvious the light source will be from almost un noticeable to blatantly obvious and visible in bright daylight The colour of the illumiation will usually match the school of the spell that the priest is channeling but may also reflect the entity that is supplying it Generally speaking good entities have a golden green or white aura and evil have a deep blue violet or red aura while neutral entities have one of silvery hue This is not an absolute however as for example spells from Aldus the god of time would supply a golden aura even though he is neither good nor evil Furthermore the aura of the entity may only emit from the scriptures on the focus while the rest of the motif flashes with the aura colour of the spell MEA Costs A priest s spells use less MEA than their arcane counterparts as they are only partly derived from the channeler with the deity supplying the rest of the required force The counterbalance to this is that a priest can only channel spells allowed by his deity those that fall within that being s spheres of influence This means that a priest can cast more spells per day than some mages but his selection is more limited and it is difficult for him to invent spells of his own Divine Channel Connection A priest derives his power from a direct connection top the power that supplies his spells which is

Orb of Shmir Long ago the great Rendwar wizard Tulkas fought to save the world from a twisted deity who had lost his mind His adventures took him to all the planes of the universe and even outside it After he had accomplished his great task the gods offered to make him a Deity He refused The only desire left to him was to explore the great unanswered questions and explore the vastness of the material plane After many long ages after witnessing the endless atrocities that humankind inflicted upon the Universe his insatiable curiosity led him to craft a very special item Tulkas was very well know for his ability to craft items that defy the natural laws of magic One such the Orb of Temporal Knowledge could see any event that had ever transpired and even look into the near future or see anything happening now anywhere in the Universe This time his mind turned to a Universe where humans weren t the dominant species Of course unlike others who had shared this interest Tulkas Duun had no desire to wipe Humans away slaughter them or erase them from existence He only wanted to know what the Universe would be like and thus created what some call the Orb of Smir If one were to gaze in this jet black sphere one would slowly see it glow with light and within it the very planes of reality that we have on our own Universe For the Orb is not just some mystical relic left behind to the tests of time but rather it is more of a U

Resurrection the white blade crushes the sphere In any event after the sphere is crushed the soul departs back through Valeo nai to its destination Life After Death Life after death is a complex situation It can refer to an afterlife which is one of the possibilities re incarnation or being brought back to life by another character or entity It can also be a limited return to life as one of the Undieing or a mocker of life as an undead Assuming the character passes into an afterlife his soul is send via Valeo nai to one of the planes in which a God resides There his memories are reformed as part of his soul possibly including memories of former lives and his soul is made manifest in a physical body made from the substances of that plane Afterlife can be a place of joy suffering or simply a new kind of existence Most souls simply transfer to The Sprit World a place that is neither good nor evil but the truly righteous or wicked will occasionally transfer to one of the higher planes where they may be converted into an outsider or where they may be made a petitioner The Afterlife A petitioner is a reformed soul clothed in flesh made from the material of its new plane or dimension Its duty is to serve the beings of that realm or to be tormented by them Keep in mind that evil beings do not torment all the souls sent to them but make some of them servants or chattels Souls of extreme wickedness may even be granted a
