Fireglass
Description
A Fireglass is a ceremonial tool that most commonly takes the form of a mirror. It can be used by a priest trained in the ceremony of anointing to rekindle the passions of a target, replenishing their spiritual strength. As with any spiritual ceremony, using the Fireglass requires a dose of liao which is used as normal for an anointing ceremony. The traditional way to use the Fireglass item is for the subject to look at their own visage in the mirror while the priest performs their ceremony, inspiring the subject by telling them that their reflection shows a heroic or virtuous individual.
The first people to make extensive use of the Fireglass were the priests of the Brass Coast; indeed while similar items were known before the foundation of the Empire it was not until 42YE that the schema for this magic item was made available to the artisans of the Empire. Even after knowledge became widespread, the Sutannir were the main users of the Fireglass
The item takes its common name from the Brass Coast and the League, but historians suggest that these items date back to pre-Imperial Highguard and the existence of the semi-mythical sunstones used by ancient navigators. These spheres of naturally occurring crystal are said not only to have aided in locating the sun on an overcast day, but also to observe the auras (or "halos") around heroic or powerful people. In the absence of any still existing examples, the true properties of this miraculous mineral cannot easily be assessed.
