Effect

This mod can be attached onto a piece of Armor or clothing, granting 5 additional special Armor Slots. The next time the wearer would mark an Armor Slot, they need to mark these special Armor Slots first. Marking a special Armor Slot corresponds to one of the crystals breaking and releasing its magic. Roll on the following table (d6) for the triggered effect. Cross out each effect once it has been used as it can never occur again. 1. The crystal explodes in an electric shock. All targets in Very Close range, including the PC, mark 1 Stress. 2. The moment the crystal is being destroyed, a vision enters your mind. The GM describes an abstract vision of an event in your immediate future. 3. Dense fog pours out of the broken crystal. All targets in Far range become Hidden while inside the fog. 4. The crystal creates a lightning strike. Make an Attack roll against a target in Far range. On a success, deal 2d8 magic damage. 5. The shattering crystal releases soothing making. The PC can heal 1 HP or Stress. 6. The broken crystal and its corresponding Armor Slot mend themselves and you regain the special Armor Slot.

About this item

Only very few scholars of the arcane still know about the Quartz Herders of the lost world. Their lives revolved around the tending to the Arcanium Crystal gardens of the mineral springs in the north. They gained sustenance, protection and magical abilities from these crystals, hitherto unseen in the old world. Soldiers of the Herders were known to encrust their Armor with Arcanium Crystals. giving them more than just protection.
One day though, an unknown calamity struck the Quartz Herders of old and they vanished from historical records.

Nowadays, Arcanium Crystal formations still can be found – but not only in the far north where they originate from. They seem to spread throughout the lands, though no one knows how – or why.
