The Key and the Gate

Description

The Key and the Gate is a very powerful ritual tool attuned to the searing magic of the Day realm.

Covenstones can be crafted in a great variety of different forms but are usually large enough to form a decent centre-piece for a ritual. Regardless of the precise form it takes, a coven that uses one is careful to ensure that it plays a central role in their ceremonies. A covenstone is a potent representation of the bonds that tie a coven together and the power that their oaths allow them to wield. They are usually bespoke and thus depict runes and motifs that are relevant to the coven for which they were made.

Rules

• Form: Paraphernalia. Takes the form of a piece of ritual paraphernalia. The item must be present in the ritual to use its magical properties.

• Materials: Crafting the key and the gate requires seven ingots of orichalcum, twelve ingots of weltsilver, seven ingots of tempest jade, nine measures of beggar's lye, five measures of dragonbone and two measures of iridescent gloaming. It takes one month to make one of these items.
