Furrowed Wake
Description
A furrowed wake is a stout wooden stick, reinforced with bands of green iron and inlaid with tempest jade decorations. It allows a skilled magician to twist their magic to throw a target to the ground rather than driving them out of their presence. In many ways this is a superior method of capturing an opponent to the more traditional entangle spell. A common landskeeper proverb suggests that while an enemy can still fight even if they can't move their feet, they find it a lot harder to chop you down when they has been planted on their arse.
Rules
- Form: Staff.
- Effect: Once per day when you cast the Repel spell, you may call STRIKEDOWN rather than REPEL.
- Materials: Crafting a furrowed wake requires eighteen ingots of tempest jade, nine measures of iridescent gloaming and seven ingots of green iron. It takes one month to make one of these items.
"And so we see that while it is quite easy to project force THUS!", she muttered a word, reached out a hand and released a pulse of energy that sent one of her two already-bruised acolytes flying across the courtyard to be pinned to a wall with a wet smack. She drew forth a small rod from her robes and touched it to the other acolyte, "We must still always be prepared for the relatively simple matter of adjusting that force to act in a crucially different way." She spoke a word of power again, and the other acolyte's legs where whipped from under him, toppling him onto the hard cobbles of the training yard. "Here ends today's lessons."
"It is our honour to learn at your feet, mistress", the two acolytes wheezed in unison.
