Wild Claw, Necklace
Spoiler:
This necklace is a leather thong with a collection of beads, claws, and talons from various creatures.
Each of the claws are inscribed with runes meant to inspire a desired trait from the creature it once
belonged. Necklaces of this design were once common among warriors in Cara Fahd before the
Scourge, but their use and popularity spread throughout Barsaive.
The necklace currently has claws from the following animals: bear, crocodile, eagle, hawk, leopard, Great Bear, Ape.

Rank 1: Known, Known answer. The owner must learn the necklace’s Name.

Thread 5/6 Tied
1: The wearer gains the Wild Claw ability. For 1 Strain as a Simple action, the wearer touches a claw and channels the power of that animal. This gives a +3 bonus to any test appropriate to the animal’s capabilities. For example, an eagle is perceptive - Awareness or Spot Armor Flaw are appropriate, or a leopard is graceful - Great Leap or Stealthy Stride are appropriate. This ability can target a claw once, and may be used once per day.
2: The wearer gains +1 Circle to a Discipline of their choice for the purpose of determining
Durability.
3: The wearer can use Wild Claw twice per day. It may still target each claw only once per day.
4: The wearer gains +2 Circles to a Discipline of their choice for the purpose of determining Durability.
5: The wearer can use Wild Claw three times per day. It may still target each claw only once per day.
6: The wearer can use Wild Claw four times per day. It may still target each claw only once per day.
Third Eye Blinded, Targeting Eye
Spoiler:
When not in use, this appears as a red, crystalline ovoid. The facets are slight and irregular and the largest “sides” bulge out smoothly, though the bulge on one is slightly more pronounced. It’s warm to the touch and when light shines through it, there’s the impression of images through it. Peering through the side with the slight bulge shows nothing, but through the flatter side shows curious things, but it is impossible to focus on them unless it is pressed directly on the eye.

Once seated on a Namegiver, the magic happens. Crystal and orichalcum veins pierce the eye it is over and begin draining the vitreous fluids. Thorns extend from the facets and latch onto the Namegiver’s face. Once touching the character’s eye, it is impossible to remove short of killing the character. Additional veins emerge into the character’s eye as it begins affixing itself to their optical nerves and circulatory system. The thorns dig out the now useless eye, feeding it to the crystal as they make room within the cavity.

The crystal seats itself and begins flexing, adjusting to its new home. Once fully merged with the character, the red, crystalline nictitating membrane slides open to reveal a piercing black eye with the faintest hint of red in the iris, which is barely visible around the huge pupil.

This entire process isn’t pleasant to witness and significantly less so to be on the receiving end. The length could be generously described as “an eternity” to everyone present. The owner suffers 2 Blood Magic Damage which can never be healed.

Without a thread attached, this functions as a targeting eye and always resizes to the recipient.

Item History/Research:
Rank 1: Known. What is the targeting eye's name? [Third Eye Blinded]
Rank 3: Known. The owner must learn what type of animal the eye originally came from. [Blood raven]
Rank 5: Known. The owner must learn about who created this, including their Name and Discipline (and what is wrong with them, what made them like this). [It was created during the Scourge by the Elven Wizard Aiduin in the Wyrm Wood.]
Rank 7: Known. The owner must learn the creature’s Name.

Thread 8/8 tied
Rank 1: The eye continues to fuse with the owner’s system and sharpens their vision and sensitivity to movement. For 1 Strain, the owner gains +3 to their next ranged combat Attack test. This replaces the standard benefit from a targeting eye.
Rank 2: The eye’s lens and cornea are more flexible, allowing the owner to focus better at distance. The owner has Enhanced Sense [Sight] (2) and no longer suffers penalties from distance for vision-based Awareness tests.
Rank 3: The crystal and orichalcum veins travel along the adept’s optic nerves and to their other eye, which appears slightly bloodshot and occasionally shimmers with gold or sparkles with color. The owner gains +1 rank to Astral Sight.
Rank 4: The eye has modified the owner’s optic nerves and brain to see the ultraviolet spectrum. This spectrum is still unknown to Barsaive and functions as the owner has Enhanced Sense [Sight] (4). The owner can make special ultraviolet dyes only they and other diurnal birds can see; this does not require a test and has no cost.
Rank 5: Almost invisible red crystal and orichalcum veins spread out from around the eye as it integrates further. The owner can spend a Karma Point on Perception-based tests that rely on vision. This is in addition to any other abilities that allow the owner to spend Karma on an associated test.
Rank 6: The owner gains the Eye Gouge special maneuver, which can be used with close combat or ranged combat attacks.
Eye Gouge (Owner): The owner may spend two additional successes on an Attack test to inflict Partial Blindness on an opponent until the end of the next round. If the target is affected by this special maneuver again in the same conflict, it inflicts Full Blindness. If the damage causes a Wound, the blindness penalty lasts until the Wound is healed.
Rank 7: The red crystal and orichalcum veins in the owner’s other eye become more pronounced and they gain +3 ranks to Astral Sight.
Rank 8: While impossible to detect unless closed, the owner develops a nictitating membrane over their other eye. If the owner has astrally sensed a target, they gain +2 to ranged combat Attack tests against the target and Perception-based Action tests that target their Mystic Defense.

Karl grew to be a stable boy, serving between some humans and mostly Orcs. He took great care of the animals and befriended a hunter named Xorag. He was recognized Karl's talent and taught him in the ways of the Archers. Now that Throal's gates have opened Karl is eager to leave the city and explore the wilderness.
