This tattoo kit is a variety of bone needles, small mallets, and mixing tools. A long piece of dark stained, tooled leather with pouches holds all the tools. The tools are of excellent quality, though all stained with ink, and many further decorated in a variety of styles. Many different types of bones were used to make the tools, some easy to identify, while others are unknown.

Tattoos given with the kit always seem somehow ethereal. There is some quality to them that cannot be replicated. This is even more true of the owner’s tattoo, which never turns out exactly as intended, but shows some of their intrinsic character. As the owner’s thread rank increases, the tattoo they receive begins to shift and expand. How this expresses is unique to each owner, but appropriate to their original tattoo. If the owner’s thread to the tattoo kit is severed, their tattoo becomes black and twisted.

As with all thread items, the owner must keep the tattoo kit on their person to gain the benefits from the effects.

Thread Rank One
Key Knowledge:
The owner must learn the tattooing kit’s Name.
Deed: The owner must receive a tattoo made with the kit.
Effect: The owner gains +1 to Mystic Defense.

Thread Rank Two
Effect
: The owner gains +1 to Mystic Armor.

Thread Rank Three
Key Knowledge:
The owner must learn who created the tattoo kit.
Effect: The owner gains +2 to Mystic Defense.

Thread Rank Four
Effect:
The owner gains +2 to Mystic Armor.

Thread Rank Five
Key Knowledge:
The owner must learn which tools were the original tools to the kit and where the bones came from.
Deed: The owner must use a bone from someone or something important to the owner and craft at least one new tool from it.
Effect: The owner may choose one of their talents and receive a tattoo using the new tool they crafted. This tattoo is somehow representative of the talent. The owner takes 1 permanent Blood Magic Damage, and can spend 1 Strain to spend an additional Karma Point on tests using the selected talent. The owner cannot receive multiple tattoos to replicate this effect and the selected talent cannot be changed.

Thread Rank Six
Effect:
The owner gains +1 Circle to a Discipline of their choice for the purpose of determining Durability.

This helmet is constructed from a large, bleached espagra skull with a single glyph on the forehead.

However, the facets prevent sight unless the wearer has a thread woven.

The helmet fully covers the wearer’s head, except for their mouth. The wearer can spend an additional Karma Point on Awareness tests.

Thread Rank Five

Thread Rank Six
Effect:
The small section of spine grows down the length of the wearer’s spine and bone begins to grow out of their shoulder blades. As a Simple action for 2 Strain, the wearer grows skeletal wings from their shoulder blades and can fly at Movement Rate 10 until their next turn. They can increase this Movement Rate by +2 for each +1 Strain. This effect cannot be combined with other abilities that increase Movement Rate. This effect can be maintained each round, but once the owner stops using it, it cannot be used again for the rest of the day.

This exceptionally plain, ordinary staff is made of wood. Probably pine or something. Just a very run of the mill, entirely ordinary wooden staff. Totally unadorned in any way, even if you look really closely. Even more closely than that. Nothing weird hiding in it. No secret compartments or a unicorn hair core or anything out-of-the-ordinary like that. Possibly the most ordinary staff ever, you wonder why you’re even bothering to pay this much attention at all. Just totally and completely ordinary, unless you roll like really high.

42? That’s a pretty good result...

Still ordinary.

Thread Rank One

When the wielder uses Your Staff and uses the ability to weave an additional thread (they do not have to weave all additional threads available, just one), they can use the following special maneuver with the affected spell:

Your Staff (Wielder, Spellcasting): For 1 Strain per additional success on a Spellcasting test, the wielder can inflict a -1 penalty per success to the targets’ Mystic Defense for the duration of the spell. Only the highest instance of this penalty affects the target. The targets are overwhelmed by this ordinary feeling. Useful, but very ordinary. Much like the staff.

This medium crossbow is ornately constructed from a variety of different woods. They are fitted together in an intricate puzzle, seeingly held together by the fitting alone. It is further carved to accentuate the bold lines of the fittings and highly polished.

The crossbow resizes to fit the owner, but does not fire larger than medium crossbow-sized bolts, regardless of the size. In the hands of a troll or obsidiman, it becomes a Size 5 weapon and weighs 10 lbs, but is otherwise unaffected. If the owner is a windling, it is a Size 2 weapon and they must manufacture custom bolts. It is Damage Step 3 with short range (2-20 yards) and long range (20-40 yards).

Shared Aspiration

Maximum Threads: 1
Mystic Defense: 14
Legend Point Cost: Warden

This necklace is made from uncut, but highly polished pieces of living crystal bound together with silver and orichalcum wire. The shards of living crystal are arranged in a graduation of color, from fully translucent on the back, moving to cloudy white along the sides and cerulean with white inclusions in the front. It is close fitting and there is no clear way to wear it until a thread is attached.

With a thread attached, the necklace expands easily over the owner’s head, and fits comfortably and snugly around their neck. The inclusions appear to slowly move across the necklace, as though clouds gently drifting on a blue sky. While this is typical, the appearance can change based on the wearer’s disposition and the powers they are using, up to the wires binding the crystals becoming lightning flashing from a thundering storm.

Thread Rank One
Key Knowledge:
The owner must learn the necklace’s Name.
Effect: The wearer gains +1 rank to Air Speaking (Player’s Guide, p. 125).

Thread Rank Two
Effect:
The wearer gains +1 to Social Defense.

Thread Rank Three
Key Knowledge:
The owner must learn where the crystal was harvested.
Effect: The wearer gains the Shared Aspiration ability. As a Simple Action for 1 Strain, the wearer gains +2 to Air Speaking tests until the end of the next round.

Thread Rank Four
Effect:
The wearer can spend an additional Karma Point on an Air Speaking test.

Thread Rank Five
Key Knowledge:
The owner must learn where the True air was harvested.
Effect: When the wearer uses Shared Aspiration, the targets can respond back to the wearer as though they were using Air Speaking for the duration of the effect. They cannot respond to each other.

Thread Rank Six
Effect:
The wearer gains the Shared Aspiration special maneuver.

Shared Aspiration (Wearer, Air Speaking): The wearer can spend additional successes on an Air Speaking test to give one target +1 to one Action test per success by the end of the next round. The wearer must use their actions to directly support this or the target must use their action to directly support the wearer. For example, simply attacking the same target is insufficient, but describing how their actions are working together and using available abilities to do so is sufficient.

Thread Rank Seven
Key Knowledge
: The owner must learn where the enchantment was performed.
Deed: The owner must travel to that location and request the air elementals to recreate the weather conditions used to enchant the necklace.
Effect: The wearer gains the Shock Therapy ability. As a Standard action for one Recovery Test, the wearer causes lightning to build up in their necklace and flow into the target they are touching, causing their body to convulse. While this is deeply unpleasant in living targets with no health benefits, it allows a target with Current Damage exceeding their Death Rating to make a Recovery test (the target must also spend a Recovery Test for this), healing the damage as normal. This ability cannot be used if the target has been “dead” for a minute (10 rounds).

Thread Rank Eight
Effect:
The bonus from the Shared Aspirations special maneuver increases to +2, and can be applied to appropriate Effect tests or Action tests made by the wearer on only the target.

For example, if the wearer uses Shared Aspirations and gains two additional successes on their Air Speaking test against their ally. They want to heal their ally and could give themselves +4 (two additional successes) to a Cold Purify test, or give the target a +4 bonus to their Recovery test from Shock Therapy (Recovery tests are Effect tests, Player’s Guide, p. 35).
