Seer's Probe

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

Description

A seer's probe is most often a delicate length of pale wood around a core of iridescent gloaming and weltsilver, carefully with tempest jade to ensure it remains flexible and light. Inlays are often suggestive of the runes of day or night, although Varushkan artisans prefer to decorate the wand with images of spiders or squirrels. In Highguard it is sometimes called an Archivist's Quill, and constructed to suggest a writing implement, while in Urizen it is often crafted to suggest a key, and given a variety of evocative names such as Lorekeeper's Sigil.

The wand is of most use to investigators and scholars, who enhance their personal abilities with additional use of two valuable divinatory spells. It is often held between the thumb and two forefingers, as if it were a conductor's baton. It is clearly not intended for violent use - although in a pinch it can be used to deliver an unexpectedly robust magical assault.
