Negation Wand Recipe

 

Typ: Scroll

Rarity Typ: Rare

Worth:0

 

Orginal this Recipe was created to enhance a Dragon Bone Wand but it also works on a special prepared Holly Bough.

 

Put a barkfree Holly Bough that brought into shape in a brew out of lavender, sage and thyme so that it is complet sorround by this brew.

After one night in this brew of Herbs you have to dry the bough before you polish it with beewax.

Now carefull heat the bough till it get a bit darker that is when you have to call 3 times the Name of the God of Crafting and 3 times the God of Magic.

The Holly Bough can now opened for the first enchanting procedure.

You only have to add the Negate, Dispel , Nagate and Power Pheme to your Holly Bough before closing the Enchanting for now.

Now you have a Enchanted Holly Wand that keeps its power for around 2 Months. So be sure to finish the next steps within the next 2 months or you have to complet start over with the Holly.

 

The following steps are the same for enhancing a Dragon Bone Wand and finishing creating a Negation Wand.

 

Heat Resin till it get viscius and then add the roots-sap of a fresh Schwarzbartweed to your Resin, but be carefule to avoid skin contact with the sap.

Then you have to slow stir this while keeping the heat the same, 66 times to the left then 66 times to the right.

Add the Phemes of Normalize and Reveal to this before put in a mix of fine crushed Topaz and Opal.

Then have to heat and stir this even more till the resin turns colorless and become fluid.

Now you have to work fast and paint the phemes for the Sphere of Resistance and of a Dispel Spell with a doghair brush on your wand before the Resin changes its color again.

After you finished the painting you immediatly have to roll the wand in wood soil no older then 1 week.

But dont forget to watch your resin because you have to start stir again when it start to become gray.

The Resin have to continued stired till it start to turn into a gray shade of blue.

Put of the heat now and put 3 tin layers of the resin over your wand.

After the 3th layer wrapping some Leather Scraps on the lower end of the wand for better Holding.

Now the wand have to rest for 1 night in a place where the moon can shine on it.

Remember to keep the Resin because you will need it again later.

The next day you can start to empower the phemes you have writen on the wand.

After you have empowered all Phemes you have to heat the resin once more till it becomes viscius.

While saying a Prayer to the God of Magic you put a final layer of Resin on the wand.

When the Resin cooled down you finaly can use your now more Powerfull Wand again.

Echanted Holy Wand

 

Typ Hand

Rarity Type: Uncommon

Durability Type: Perishable (2 Months)

Worth: 120 (x2 the material cost)

Enchant Skill: Enspell (Skill)

 

Description:

This Wand only works for around 2 Months after it was enchanted because the Enchanting procedure for a Negation Wand wasn't finished on it.

The not Finished Enchanting porcedure makes casting with this wand a bit gruppy. (Enspell -1)

Still it improves the chances in casting Negation Magic (10%) and have a Affinity for the Dispel Pheme (x2).

Some even say that to have a bit more Luck (+1) when carrying this wand.

Because of the positive Effects there are People who buy and use this wand full knowing it works only for a limited time.

 

(I think its absolut OK to give out a Attribute Boost at this point especial because it uses a Hand Slot, is Perishable and will destroyed to get the final wand)

(or is it to much for someone who have the right Skills and know its way trough this Adventure to get it in just 3 adventure calls?)

Investigation 4 maybe have to be reworked when the Gods are set for the Recipe.

The 2 Palette Exits are only slight modifications of the 2 Enspell exits, if someone come up with a good idea for them just put it up :)
