Look see, it's editable ...

This is Andy Raff's page for doing things with links and the like. He can't believe he didn't think of it earlier.

I suggest you move along, there's nothing to see here :)

Matt's Scratchpad

Use This on Disjunction Spell

You may disenchant a magical item including enchanted items and artefacts. The item ceases to be magical and becomes a mundane item. You should destroy the item ribbon after casting the spell. It is helpful to let a referee know if you use this spell on an item of note.

Mantle of the Mountebank

Description

Sometimes called a shimmering doublet or a prismatic coat, the mantle of the mountebank is usually a gorgeous, richly-coloured piece of clothing shot through with threads of moonsilver (weltsilver and mithril threads) and sungold (orichalcum and gold threads). Like the Volhov's Robe, these magical garments have been in use for thousands of years in one form or another, since before magicians discovered how to form a coven bond.

Despite their name, they are used all over the Empire by magicians who have made a habit of mastering low-magnitude rituals that they can perform without recourse to either a coven or a regio. Whether offering swift medical aid with The Hands of Sacred Life or alchemical transmutations with The Eight-spoked Wheel, a ritualist with a mantle of the mountebank can perform their rituals quickly and efficiently when time is of the essence, or when there is a chance they will need to perform multiple rituals in a short period of time.

The mantle has a slightly dubious reputation, especially in the League where troupes of magicians stage elaborate rituals in front of audiences. It cannot be denied that some magicians who have made use of this garment have a reputation for being a little ... furtive. Mischief is easier to engage in the faster it can be performed, and while the magical robe is simply too useful to have been declared illegal, some magistrates look askance at anyone who is not clearly a solid law-abiding citizen who is found in possession of one.

While the mantle of the mountebank is useful, the restriction that it cannot be used when performing a ritual with a coven, or when accessing the power of a regio, means that it is also occasionally seen by other magicians as the sign of a 'dabbler' who prefers to perform small-scale, personal magic rather than wield the full power that ritual lore has to offer. More than one mountebank has opined that such detractors are simply jealous.

Rules

Form: Robes.
Effect: When you are performing a solo ritual without drawing on a coven bond and without using a regio, you can perform that ritual in one minute rather than two.
Materials: Crafting a mountebank's mantle requires five measures of iridescent gloaming, three measures of ambergelt, three ingots of weltsilver and three ingots of orichalcum. It takes one month to make one of these items.
