Radiant Torrent
Description
These solid rods are often polished to a mirror-smooth sheen. They allow a battlefield healer to completely restore two allies, and in the right circumstances are capable of preventing a bloody engagement turning into a rout.
Rules
- Form: Rod.
- Effect: Once per day when you cast the swift heal spell, you may use it on two targets rather than one. You still have only ten seconds to deliver both uses.
- Materials: Crafting a tumultuous fork requires twenty ingots of weltsilver, twelve measures of iridescent gloaming, eight measures of dragonbone and eight ingots of orichalcum. It takes one month to make one of these items.
One of these items is, of course, the central device in the famous Marcher play, "Twelve Pigs". The Torrent is inadvertently mixed in with the feed for a herd of swine on their way to market, and the penniless protagonist must scour the countryside trying to find the pig which has eaten it in order to secure his fortune. Despite the fact that the hero has to spend a good deal of time on hands and knees combing through pig-faeces, the play was originally regarded as a parable on Prosperity, and many in the Marches were outraged to discover that the League playhouses were playing it as a farce.
