#purpose: fate

(Kristi Kalis) Gilly Forsythe would love a magical item to boost her confidence in being a Loup Garou.

[[These next few are written in the style of an artificer from Magischola!  Feel free to request one – and check out magischola.com for the awesome universe and future LARP events.]]

Now actually, I have an artifact for Gilly that’s old enough I don’t know quite how it was made.  It’s a doorknob, and very old indeed; I can tell you the magical residue I can detect is vert and there are more runes hidden in the engraved scrollwork than I care to count.  I can tell you that I think there are more inside the metal, carved or painted before it was forged or sealed shut.  This is the work of a lifetime, this doorknob, and it feels that way.  Heavy in the hand, always warm to the touch, with a hum like electricity far, far away.

I can tell you that when pressed to a door, you will hear a click as it unlocks something different.  It doesn’t matter if the door is closed or open; when you turn this knob, it will open again, and it will take you to another place.

Specifically, this takes you to the place that you should be, or a place that you need to be. 

Now how do I think this will help?  Well, I have done quite a bit of experimentation with this knob, and at first I thought it was faulty; that is, it only seemed to work one in twenty or fifty times that I used it.

But then I realized: more times than not, most of the times in my life, I am exactly where I should be.

Once I realized that, once I understood, well.  Your confidence soars when you realize that you are where you should be.  You are what you are, and who you are -- right now, right here, right as you have made yourself -- for a damn good reason.  In the grand, glorious scheme of things, more often than not, you are precisely where you should be.

You could read this as a sign that you aren’t important -- that life does not particularly care where you are.  Or you can take this as a sign that you are essential -- and that wherever Gilly walks, she can carry this in her pocket, knowing she can leave, knowing she can walk away, but more often than not knowing that she is, in the end, in the precisely perfect place for her life to matter.

And, if I may add, if people turn into bastards you can always stick this thing in a sock and start swinging.  It’s frigging cast iron.  That’ll make a dent in a jackasses skull.

These magical items are amazing! Is there one you could spare for me?

Revelation’s Ring: A large ring, carved out of petrified wood, with a brass top engraved with a spinning wheel that can be opened to reveal a message.   The message will change, each day, and the spinningwheel engraving will move as the words are changing; if you’re lucky, you’ll catch it as it goes.  The words will be the most important ones you’ve spoken since the last sunrise.  It’s best to catch them immediately — a simple “yes” or “no” without context can be confusing.

i dunno what to put but?????

Fourth Wall Window: Modern witches can get a little meta.  Made from a face shield used in a lab where experiments on quantum entanglement were being done, this gives you a direct window on the fate and destiny of the world.  As you look through the shield, individuals will glow brighter when their decisions are tied to the fate large numbers of people or are otherwise very important to the weaving of destiny.  

The witch who invented this calls it the Fourth Wall Window because it “lets you find the protagonist in the group.  Poor bastard.  Avoid at all costs.”
