Sanguine Thorn

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Description

Almost always made of wood or bone, rather than metal, a sanguine thorn tends to be a tapering wand stained deep red with iridescent gloaming dyes. The wood itself is shaped and subtly influenced through bathing in beggar's lye, and wound about with weltsilver and orichalcum decorations. It often bears the rune Cavul, representing the power of purity.

Some of these wands, especially those crafted by Navarr or the Marches, have a sharp point near the base, usually a rose or briar thorn. When the wand is used in conjunction with a healing spell, the magician pricks their thumb on the thorn. This sacrifice is not neccessary to use the wand, but rather a reminder that the power to heal rarely comes without a price.

Rules

• Form: Wand.
• Effect: Whenever you cast the heal spell on a target, you also remove the venom condition from that target..
• Materials: Crafting a sanguine thorn requires eleven measures of beggar's lye, seven measures of iridescent gloaming, six ingots of weltsilver and six ingots of orichalcum. It takes one month to make one of these items.
