Amiable Mask

Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)

The Amiable Mask never smiles quite the same way twice. Warm words feel more sincere, suspicion softens, and for a fleeting moment even enemies may wonder whether they had judged you too harshly. Yet when the charm fades, many are left with an uneasy feeling that something about the encounter was deeply wrong.

💬 Was that trust genuine... or merely borrowed?

Analysis

Magic Necklace’s Powers: The Necklace allows its wearer to control Grimm, causing their eyes to glow blue instead of red, indicating submission to the user’s will. It works over long distances and enables strategic coordination of Grimm, as seen with Lemon and Asher controlling various Grimm (Sabyrs, Beringels, Lancers, Manticores) to attack or defend. The artifact is a magical item from an ancient civilization, not tied to a Semblance, suggesting it operates on magical rather than Aura-based principles.

Salem’s Nature: Salem is a unique entity in RWBY, cursed with immortality by the gods and infused with Grimm essence, making her predominantly Grimm-like, especially as her injuries reveal her corrupted form. She has direct control over Grimm, as seen in her ability to command and create them, and her immortality ensures she cannot be permanently killed or destroyed. Her magical abilities are vast, predating modern Semblances and drawing from the same divine magic that created the Grimm.

Application to Salem:

Grimm Control: The Necklace’s ability to control Grimm could theoretically affect Salem, given her significant Grimm essence. If her Grimm nature is dominant (as suggested by her injuries showing Grimm-like traits), the Necklace might attempt to override her autonomy, forcing her to follow the wearer’s commands. The blue glow in Grimm eyes indicates a shift in control, which could apply to Salem if her Grimm physiology is susceptible.

Salem’s Resistance: However, Salem’s unique status complicates this. As the de facto “queen” of the Grimm, she exerts innate control over them, likely through a magical connection tied to her creation by the God of Darkness. The Necklace, while powerful, is an artifact from a bygone era, and its magic may not supersede Salem’s divine-level authority. Her willpower and magical prowess could resist or nullify the Necklace’s influence, especially since she’s not a typical Grimm but a hybrid with human intellect and divine curses.

Practical Challenges: Using the Necklace requires the wearer to be in possession of it and actively use its power. Salem’s combat abilities, magical strength, and command of Grimm hordes make approaching her with the Necklace risky. Historical users (e.g., Lemon, Abigail) faced betrayal or death, indicating the Necklace doesn’t guarantee victory against strong opponents. Asher’s success was situational, aided by external reinforcements, not solely the Necklace.

Immortality Factor: Even if the Necklace temporarily controlled Salem, her immortality prevents permanent defeat. Controlling her actions might delay her plans, but she cannot be killed or permanently subdued. If the Necklace’s control wanes (e.g., if removed or countered), Salem would regain autonomy. Additionally, her ability to manipulate Grimm suggests she might wrest control back or destroy the Necklace, as its limits against a being of her caliber are untested.

Conclusion

The Magic Necklace could theoretically affect Salem by attempting to control her Grimm essence, potentially forcing her to obey the wearer’s commands temporarily. However, her divine immortality, magical power, and intrinsic control over Grimm make it unlikely to stop her permanently. At best, it might disrupt her actions briefly, but her ability to resist, counter, or outlast the Necklace’s influence—combined with the practical difficulty of using it against her—means it’s not a definitive solution. It could be a tactical tool to hinder her in a specific scenario, but stopping Salem entirely would require more than the Necklace alone.

Pipe of Donaar

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This magical pipe was originally enchanted in the sky-bound kingdom of Edonia. A masterful work of art that has endured over time, this pipe has the ability to transform ordinary tobacco into a malleable and mysterious smoke.

The pipe has 9 charges and regains all expended charges each day at dawn. In order to use any of the pipe’s magical properties, there must be tobacco in the bowl of the pipe.

While holding this pipe, you can use an action to cast the Prestidigitation spell from it. In addition, you may cast the following spells from the pipe as an action by expending charges:

Fog Cloud - 1 charge

Sleep - 1 charge

Zone of Truth - 2 charges

Gust of Wind - 2 charges

Gaseous Form - 3 charges

Stinking Cloud - 3 charges

Cloudkill - 5 charges

Mental Prison - 6 charges

You can only cast the above spells through the pipe that would normally be available for your spellcasting level, and using these spells does not expend spell slots. For example, a 3rd level wizard would be able to cast Fog Cloud, Sleep, Zone of Truth and Gust of Wind through the pipe.

In addition, when casting any of the above spells through the pipe, you can choose to expend any number of additional charges to cast that spell at a higher level. This level is equal to the amount of total charges spent. For example, a 14th level wizard can cast Cloudkill at 7th level by expending a total of 7 charges.

The Wise Mandolin Tavern was booming with life. Gleeful music was being played by a young, plain-looking human troubadour and a slim, graceful human woman with striking jet-black hair that hung over a green dress. While two-dozen drunkards gawked openly at the woman atop the small square stage, two bartenders scrambled to serve the influx of demanding customers. 

Several stools were dragged across the wooden floorboards around the corner beside a hearth, where an old, white-scaled Dragonborn sat forward in an armchair, refilling his pipe, before lighting it.

“Then what happened!?” one of the patrons asked desperately.

Donaar Almenondod sat back, taking a long pull on his pipe before sending forth a cloud of smoke that blew forth like the waves of the ocean. “The storm was unrelenting, and the hull of Keegan’s ship, the Yellow Mongoose, waned, splintered and creaked. He thought of the venerable sages that told him he’d make it, and thought them liars, cheats, thieves.”

As the two bartenders passed by, expertly balancing a dozen tankards, even they were entranced by the dragonborn’s tale. He continued, “As the sailors hurried frantically to reef the final sail, the captain looked starboard. There he spotted a  wave larger than any before it. The only words that left his mouth were that of his goddess.”

Donaar paused again, taking another drag of his pipe before sending out a plume of smoke that split amidst a column of light. The gathered crowd listened fervently. Donaar smiled a wry smile.
