Ambrosia Software Web Board: Custom Weapions/Items in TSes - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Since many Team-Story charicters seem to have made custom items,
e.g. the Ruby Fang, Shadow blades, The Solar Shard, and inumerible others,
I think we ought to start a thread like the charicter info thread for this.
It would realy help relitivly new people (Like Me )

Thanks,
Bryce (Talm)

OK, here goes!

-------

Name: Ruby Fang
Class: Weapon (sword)

Description:
An otherwise ordinary sword, but the blade glows red.

Abilities:
Contains Fire magic; works by contact only, no long range usage.

Lore:
The Ruby Fang was an ordinary, but top-class, blade carried by Flynn when the Ronin frist entered Cythera. Like much of the Ronin's original equipment, it was later enhanced by the Seldane and/or other elementals. Every item of enhanced equipment brought through time to the Ronin's second appearance has been influenced in such a way that only one of the Ronin can touch it; anyone else who tries is violently repelled.

-------

Name: Sapphire Fang
Class: Weapon (sword)

Description:
An otherwise ordinary sword identical to the Ruby Fang, but the blade glows blue.
co
Abilities:
Contains Ice magic; works by contact only, no long range usage.

Lore:
The Sapphire Fang's history is identical to that of the Ruby Fang, except it was brought to Cythera by Sasha.

-------

Name: Jade Fang
Class: Weapon (dagger)

Description:
An otherwise ordinary dagger, but the blade appears to be made of luminous green stone, like jade.

Abilities:
Contains Earth magic; anything or anyone it penetrates is turned to stone. Works by contact only, no long range usage.

Lore:
The Jade Fang's history is identical to that of the Ruby Fang, except it was brought to Cythera by Leandra. Coincidentally, this is the same dagger that was taken from a ruffian by Flynn on the Ronin's home world, and later presented by him to Leandra for her protection.

-------

Name: Opal Sting
Class: Weapon (bow)

Description:
An otherwise ordinary bow, it glows in a shifting pattern of multi-coloured light like a fluid opal.

Abilities:
Contains multiple magics; any shaft fired from this bow assumes whatever magical properties the archer desires.

Lore:
The Opal Sting's history is identical to that of the Ruby Fang, except it was brought to Cythera by Trinias.

-------

Name: Sword of Truth
Class: Weapon (sword)

Description:
An ornate longsword; the blade glows white.

Abilities:
This sword probably pre-dates even the Ronin. If the sword is brought in contact with a person or object, then that person or object can't tell a lie or use any form of deception. It's also highly effective against undead, because they're not truly alive, and demons, since they spawn from the Father of Lies.

Lore:
Flynn obtained this sword on the Ronin's quest. Since it wasn't brought by a Ronin through time, this item isn't limited to use by a Ronin.

-------

Name: Shield of the Bold
Class: Shield

Description:
Almost full-size shield that glows a golden colour.

Abilities:
Pretty much indestructible. Protects from magical attacks if directly interposed. When the wearer crouches down and plants the bottom edge on the ground, it generates a small, spherical dome of force that protects from physical (but not magical) attacks.

Lore:
Given to Sasha at the end of the Ronin's quest.

-------

Name: Friendsooth Amulet
Class: Jewelery/Magical Item

Description:
An amber jewel on a golden chain.

Abilities:
Detects emanations of friendship or animosity, alerting the wearer to the true feelings of another toward them. Can also be used to locate a person, if the distance isn't too great.

Lore:
This amulet was given to Ulf on the Ronin's quest.

-------

Name: Chameleon Cloak
Class: Apparel/Magical Item

Description:
A simple long, grey hooded cloak.

Abilities:
Can assume the appearance of its surroundings, preventing the wearer from being seen. This particular chameleon cloak is a little special, in that it also masks the wearer from magical detection.

Lore:
This cloak was given to Trinias on the Ronin's quest.

-------

Name: Zeppelin
Class: Transportation

Description:
Large football shaped balloon with a 6-seater basket slung beneath.

Abilities:
Controlled, powered flight.

Lore:
Constructed by Wolmark soon after he arrived in the current time period; uses Hydrogen gas to provide lift. The principle innovation that makes the whole thing functional is a low-effort gas compression process, invented by Wolmark. Power is provided by a variable-ratio cycle type device.

-------

Name: Diamond sword
Class: Weapon (sword)

Description:
Sword made from an extremely tough crystalline substance, probably diamond. Has a gold tinge to the centre that appears to be a lattice of fine wires.

Abilities:
Stores and discharges electricity, both through contact and as a lightning strike. Recharging was thought to be problematic, until Flynn happened to hold the fully depleted sword aloft in the middle of a thunder storm. The resultant lightning strike was completely absorbed by the blade, leaving him unharmed and the weapon fully charged.

Lore:
Taken by Flynn from the body of a cave troll, defeated by Moonshadow and himself, outside Temrel's cave. The sword is one of Temrel's creations.

-------

Name: Staff of Reversal / Staff of Second Chances
Class: Magical Item

Description:
A short ebony staff, topped with a pale blue glowing orb.

Abilities:
Can reverse time for a duration of about 20 minutes, but then takes roughly a month to recharge. Only those in the immediate vicinity when it's activated are aware of the altered timeline.

Lore:
Given to Wolmark on the Ronin's quest. Apparently created and energised by Kronos himself.

-------

Name: Dragon Shield
Class: Shield

Description:
The shield is quite massive, and has a depiction of a dragon in the centre formed by a mosaic of different gems.

Abilities:
The shield responds to any physical impact by casting a fireball. Needless to say, this makes an attack against the wearer extremely unwise.

Lore:
Obtained by Flynn In a recent battle with a cavetroll, and given to Ulf because he was the only one strong enough to use it. Also one of Temrel's creations.

-------

Name: Temrel's rings
Class: Magical Item

Description:
A pair of plain silver rings, that can join into one.

Abilities:
When joined, the rings do nothing; but if separated and worn by different people, each is alerted to any danger the other might be in.

Lore:
Found by Flynn in Temrel's cave. He kept one ring himself and presented the other to Moonshadow, who subsequently treated her ring to allow it to transform with her when she changed to bird form. This had a strange side-effect: when Moonshadow's ring is transformed, the rings create a telepathic link between the wearers.

-------

Name: Temrel's Locator
Class: Magical Item

Description:
A flat gold disc, with a recessed silver mirror on one face. The rim is studded with several tiny gems, which serve as controls.

Abilities:
Can locate any of Temrel's creations, as long as the distance isn't too great. Relative positions are represented by glowing lights that hover above the mirror.

Lore:
One of Temrel's creations. Flynn collected it on his fourth visit to Temrel's cave, while retrieving weapons he'd left there for safe-keeping.

-------

Name: Kefron Vest
Class: Apparel

Description:
A plain grey vest; undecorative and coarse, designed to be worn beneath armour or clothing.

Abilities:
Kefron is a synthetic material with a multilayered weave. The nature of the material is such that it's resistant to penetration by point-impacts, such as arrows and other projectiles, and is also highly resistant to heat and flame.

Lore:
Made by Leandra from the single bolt of Kefron retrieved from the Air-Castle, before its destruction. Although Leandra also found instructions on how to produce the material, the elements required are exceedingly rare; so, for all intents and purposes, only the one bolt exists. One such vest was presented to Talm, and others to each of the Ronin.

-------

Name: Soul Binder
Class: Jewelery/Magical Item

Description:
An expanding, spiral bracelet worn on the upper arm.

Abilities:
Stores a portion of life force, siphoned from the wearer over a long period of time. If the wearer is brought to the point of death in any way, the Soul Binder will sustain them for a short while. It doesn't provide healing, however, so if medical attention isn't quickly received, the wearer may still die.

Lore:
Given to Leandra on the Ronin's Quest.

-------

Name: Soul Mirror
Class: Magical Item

Description:
An eight-inch disc of reflective metal.

Abilities:
If someone looks into it they don't see an image of themselves, but rather a reflection of the state of their soul depicted in colours.

Lore:
Given to Kwon Chen on the Ronin's quest. He uses it as an aid to meditation, as he tries to overcome the darkness in his own heart.

The Runic Disc
Relic

Discription:
A disc small enough to fit in a plam yet covered in about a hundred small blue runes. It has a seam along it horizontaly. The disc comes apart into two seprate peices, one side of which has several light-beams that point toward various elemental crystals, such as the Solar Shard.

Lore:
Talm found the disc in the same area as the Solar Shard. The writing on the disc was translated by a aquaintance if Talm in Cadmia. The inscription seems to refer to five elemental crystals, of which the Solar Shard is one.

Excalibur
Weapon (One-handed battle sword)

Description:
A fire enchanted sword with a fairly long blade but surprisingly low weight, so that wielding it in one hand is possible without less powerful performance.

What it does:
The blade is fire enchanted and extremely sharp, the weapon is known to change magical functions in contact with certain items or combined with certain spells. It is really a matter of trying and failing, the sword didn't come with a manual.

Description:
Three pairs of enchanted throwing daggers.

"Hummmm" siad the Tunafish.

Here goes:

Object: Lightning Staff

Description: The staff is a wooden staff made of oak, just as tall as Ferazel. It has a small orb of lightning elemental power, which appears yellow in the top. "

What it Does: Ferazel's Lightning Staff allows him to cast some lightning elemental spells without draining any mana. It has a limited number of uses, but Ferazel hopes that won't come for a while. It can cast these lightning elementals: Lightning Blast - A bolt of lightning hits the staff. After a few seconds, a ball of lightning is realeased at the target. Figure of Light - Bolts of lightning crack around Ferazel in a circle. They come in closer, until they are touching him. He is transformed into a giant lightning elemental until he touches the staff to the ground. Ferazel is constantly trying to find more spells within the staff, so more might come later."

Lore: There isn't much talk about Ferazel's staff, although many a ruffian have tried to steal it. Rumor has it that it was a gift from the Undine. Others think the Seldane gave it to Ferazel. A smaller, third group of people believe it to be stolen from Tavara; the only totally false rumor."

(Macintosh Man posting for Cyrus)

Masamune
Short Sword

Desctiption: A short, light, and extremely strong sword.

What it does: Much like an ordinary sword, it has a slight white glow, and seems to never dull.

Lore: Created millenia ago from a stone that no longer exists, it is usable only by certian people, and only achieves it's maximum effectiveness when the user is wearing a pendant that was created out of the same stone as the Masamune. Cyrus is currently looking for the said pendant

Amaroq Dagger
Weapon

Description: A small dagger with a long, thin, double-edged blade. The handle is intricately carved with runes of the Amaroq language. It's not the best weapon ever, but it does the job.

What it does: When you hold the dagger up to the sky and say the proper incantation, it will summon whichever Amaroq that you named. It looks really cool when you do this- first, the blade glows and a silver pendant appears in the handle Then white fog surrounds you and swirls all around. You cry out the name of the Amaroq you are summoning again. The fog disappears and there is the Amaroq.

Lore: The Amaroq Silvre gave this dagger to Katerei several years ago, even before Katerei met Ferazel. Silvre taught her how to use the dagger, and now she can summon Silvre any time she needs to. The dagger was crafted by a skilled Faerie thousands of years ago. It was lost for a long time, and then one of the Amaroqs found it. About twenty years later Silvre became the leader of the Amaroqs, and she presented the dagger to Katerei. Katerei is the only one other than the Amaroqs who knows the spell that goes with it, so don't bother stealing it.

The Auroran Icicle
Weapon (morning star)

Description: the Icicle is a deadly weapon when wielded by one who is skilled with a mace and chain. However, it is lighter than a mace, so it has been classified as a morning star. It is composed of three parts- the handle, which is made of birch wood, the chain, which is thin loops of silver linked together, and the head. The head is a ball of hollow steel embedded with magical icicles which have been sharpened to a razor point. The icicles glow a faint white color.

What it does: Other than the icicles, which hurt a ~lot~ when you get hit with them, the Auroran Icicle is just your basic morning star.

Lore: Katerei used to own the Icicle quite a while back. She won it after defeating a Snow Faerie in a contest. Unfortunately, Zrenerr took it from her when he captured Katerei and her parents. Nobody knows what happened to it after that, not even Zrenner.

Vera avadon isma philandraon equinus. Alama quira opaliu tyvanon Elemeniya. Likiyre svanre tyu'aka. Likiyre tyu'aka.

Ok, here comes the first in a row of items...

Thara'fir'za (which simply translates to Blade of hard Ice, or Blade of Crystal)

Thara'fir'za is, as the name says, a blade made completely out of crystal, as are most of the weopans of the winter elves. The specialty about this weapon is that it can change forms. Moonshadow normally uses it as a dagger ('alê'za', which is also the word you have to say to return it to the form of a dagger; it literally translates 'thorn'), but it can also take the form of a sword ('mam'ra', again, this is the word you have to say to change it to a sword; literally 'seals' slayer', a weapon the winter elves use for hunting). It is one of the few weapons of that kind which still exists, and dates back to the time before Fir'dha was covered in ice, in other words, *extremely, unimaginably* far back. It is magically tempered in a way, so that the fragile crystal will not break, not even be scratched, except by the most powerful magics, a method that is lost to the winter elves nowadays. In both forms, the blade is flamed, and extremely sharp and lethal. The handle is wrapped by white leather to protect the hand of the wielder.
Fir – ice
Adds ice damage to the blade, freezing the target.
Uûna’ra – Enemy of Darkness
Charges the blade with highly potent Light Magic, thus making it more effective against demonic or undead creatures or other beings that are devoted to or dependant on Dark Magic. (Which also includes mages that mainly use that magic... the more it was used, the more effective the strike.)
Zerza- Death
A word that Moonshadow will not give away if it’s not really necessary; it causes the immediate death of the person attacked, but at tremendous cost: the attacker will lose the equal amount of life force – permanently. That means, if the attacker’s doesn’t have as much or just as much life force as their victim, he will die. If he’s somehow stronger – an unlikely thing, btw, because why would one use this word against a weaker opponent - he’ll stay alive, but will be severely weakened.

The Air-Shard
Relic/Artifact

Description:
A roughly conical artificial crystal eight inches in diameter.
It is whitish-yellow in color.

What it does:
The crystal negates the effect of gravity. It is not known yet how it determines the area to effect.

Lore:
The Air Shard was recovered by A party pf adventures from a huge floating castle.
You can read about the quest in the thread 'The Air-Castle (TS)'

**hm.. I guess I'll put my items here.. They don't have a name.. maybe I'll just make one up-? I guess I'll do that later.. maybe by way of introducing it into a story again.. not that I think I'll be able to take part in one. I don't have as much time as I used to **

Name : Unknown
Item Type : Weapon(Primary : Range, Sec. : Melee) - Dagger

-Description-
This dagger, which is wielded by J.Ace21, is made of an unknown material. The handle seems to be made of some sort of metal but the material of the blade is unknown. It was found in a pool of lava. Nobody knows exactly how long it had been there. So far nobody has been able to identify it.

-Abilities-
The color of the blade changes at uneven intervals, sometimes as a mix of colors. With a certain motion, or maybe a thought(nobody is sure) the blade flies out at an incredible speed piercing the target. The color of the blade changes according to the surrounding enviroment and target. If the target is an ice elemental the blade will change to a red color and will have properties of a fire enchanted blade.

Name : unknown
Item Type : Armor(cloak)

-Description, Abilities-
Another unknown item used by J.Ace21 this cloak hides the wearer from sight. It puts the wearer into a strange state(I wrote this desc. for my character info a long time ago but now that I think about it it is something similar to the ring in The Lord of the Rings). Most have come to believe that it places the wearer into a different dimension and that the cloak is some kind of bridge between. Some side-effects have been known to occur when a person wears the cloak(this i wrote before too.. the side-effects aren't like the ones in The Lord of the Rings )


**more items without a name will come.. approx 4.. maybe 5.. they're the items my other char. - Rogar - uses...**

the Elemental Machete
Weapon/Relic

Description:
"At first glance, it was a normal machete, a cubit and a span in length. But on closer observation, he saw that the handle had four small gems mounted around it: Orange, for fire; Milky, for air; Green, for earth; and Blue, for water."
-When the Balance was restored, the gems regained their innate clarity, and haven't lost it since.
-The stones are all sapphires, which, though not as innately potent as the cardinal Elemental gems, allow for the Machete's flexibility of potential.

Abilities:
Powers of the four cardinal Elements, in accordance with the wielder's potential, (including relic enhanced potential).
Civilian Usage: Flight (air), Torch (fire), <unknown> (earth, water)

Lore:
Originally a regular machete, the Elemental Machete was elementally balanced and enhanced by the Eioneus of a Seldane dominated Cythera. It is wielded by Jehezekel.

I explored a similar concept with the Ronin's weapons in one of my chronicles (New Horizons part I, I think), in case it's helpful. I used ruby for fire, sapphire for inverted-fire (cold instead of hot), emerald for water, diamond for air, and jade for earth.

Does this mean that people are going to start using this thread again (at a glance it appears that it hasn't been used much lately)?

((This post, in tandem with my character post, represents my first venture into the fantasy world of Cythera, so please let me know what you think.))

Equipment

Blade of Entropy : A unique weapon with an ornate silver hilt and a blade whose mirrored surface shines as though masterfully chromed. The blade can gather elemental magic that it comes in contact with (through spells) and upon harnessing enough it can through the energy back in a concentrated orb. Best used with the Chaos Armor.

Chaos Armor : A masterfully crafted suit of armor made of a metal that gives it the appearance of a mirror. Just as it reflects light so does it reflect magic, however the range of that reflection is a mere handful of feet, proving no danger to a caster that stands further than arms length away. The reflected magic saturates the air around the wearer of the armor. The “raw magic” in the air can be used to repair damage to the armor, however this is a slow process often taking several days to complete after the magic is absorbed. Best used with the Blade of Entropy.

Satchel of Infinity : Appearing as little more than a blue pouch, though a silk one fit for a Lord, the Satchel is a very unassuming item. According to its owner it was specially crafted by a man in a red suit and many short elves in green clothing, in a cold place whose name he can’t seem to recall. Small as it might appear the pouch's depths seem to be infinity, though the owner requested it be designed to hold an infinite number of one specific kind of item. Asked what that item is Aron will smile and reply, “Apples.”

((This is a nice thread that seems to have fallen inactive for a span of just over 5 years, lets try to keep it relatively fresh in people's minds))

Equipment/Special Abilities

Brand of the Black Flame : A secret rune of both onyx and crimson, this is a complex and powerful charm that is permanently placed upon the bearer. It grants the ability to summon a weapon which will take upon a form favored by the bearer. The summoned weapon is invulnerable, feeling like a feather’s weight to the wielder but like a crushing blow to the target. Its strange power has the ability to disrupt and confound most forms of magic.

Note: Rythan possesses five of these runes in total, one upon each arm and leg with a fifth upon his chest. The final weapon will be explained below.

The Razor Wind : A disc of onyx metal the size of a large plate, ringed by a series of slightly curved serrated blades like those of a saw. The center of the disk is virtually hollow, save for three bands of metal which extend from the outer ring to form a grip at the weapon’s center. The bladed ring is actually two; one within the other. When thrown the inner ring spins in one direction and forces the blades to spin in another, the speed of which is heightened with the force of the throw as the wind further spins the blades. As it soars through the air the weapon emits a unique sound almost like a scream. The blades can saw through nearly anything and no matter how the weapon is thrown it always returns to its owner.

Belt of Handu're
Magical Artifact/Armour

Owner:
Cat.

Description:
"...jewelled belt, with diamonds and sapphires set in deep blue leather. The belt comes with a deep blue cover, which she always wears over the belt to prevent it glinting when she is trying to hide..."

What it does:
It seems that the gems somehow 'store' life, and that could be one of the reasons Cat is really hard to kill. When it is needed, she can bring back a companion from the point of death, but not to full health, just out of danger. She can also use it to heal major wounds. The belt works better upon elves, and even better upon herself. It requires very little of the belt's energy to heal herself, and more to heal others. The belt 'recharges' in moonlight, and takes a very long time to fully recharge, almost a week of moonlight. It can hold an astonishing amount of life, so Cat doesn't often need to recharge it.

Lore:
Little is known about the Belt of Handu're, except that it is not of Cythera. All Cat knows about it is the name, and the usage. She was given it at birth by an unknown mage, and he requested she should wear it always.

Magical Dagger Random-spell-thing
Magical Artifact/Weapon

Owner:
Uzsuy

Description:
The magical dagger that was given to Uzsuy that apparently was once owned by his father. When stabbed half-way deep into the ground it casts a random spell at a random nearby object/animal/person. Uzsuy is trying to keep it a secret, but it was already revealed earlier. Uzsuy always keeps it with him, and it seems to be niether for good or evil; it casts a random spell that the holder knows, and sometimes it's just some light spell, other times (as when it was revealed), a fireball or lightning or something. His mother would never talk about it, except what it did, that his father owned it, that he must take care of it, and that he must keep it a secret. An expert once said that it looked Seldane-made, but no one has said anything similar since.
[/quote]

(No Name)
Magical Artifact

Owner:
Aster

Description:
"...a small pendant of no particular colour on a chain... a sort of murky, uneven lump of glass with a hole in it."

What it does:
Many effects, but only one is known. When held, it gives the wearer courage.

Lore:
Created when magical lightning struck a beach near Aster's home. The sand melted into a small, misshapen lump. Aster found it the next day, and found he felt more confident while holding it. Realizing this was a valuable asset, he bored a hole in it and threaded it on a piece of string. The string wore out in a year, and Aster bought a chain for it in Cademia.

Name: Amulet of the Dead
Class: Artifact

Description:
A black amulet with settings for two gems—one the color of fire and the other blue.

Abilities:
Augments its wearer's power to some extent and gives the wearer control of the undead army that assailed Cademia in the Undead War.

Lore:
No one is really quite sure where the Amulet came from. Most elementals believe that it was created by rogue elementals with the aid of the Death King, so that one of his trusted lieutenants would be able to control some of the Death King's legions without having to be empowered to that level by the Death King. (Although such empowerment would be a miniscule task to the Death King, most believe that he would still see it as a waste of efficiency and thus avoid it.) In ancient days, the artifact was split into three parts to hide it from the elementals. The flame-colored gem ended up at Pnyx and was just recently stolen: all those who knew of the artifact were unaware of this gem being located here and were thus unable to stop it from being stolen. It has been discovered that the arch-lich Tavara has the amulet. The location of the blue gem is currently unknown.
