Rose Quartz Pendant
Credit to EarthRainbowGemsOwned by: Mayor FigueroaCreated by: Astrid Kragen
Creation: Ben Samson commissioned Astrid to create a thought-shielding artifact for the human Mayor. While Astrid is picky with her spellwork these days, reserving the less trivial work for friends and dire circumstances, she Saw a unique opportunity to dispense a few Karmic effects.
This necklace is a quick and simple charm, taking about two weeks to complete. First, the quartz was added to an herbal tea (of protective qualities) mixed with the ashes of a written incantation. This incantation was spoken with each twist and weave of wire around the polished rose quartz. Post completion, the necklace was left to charge in the light of the full moon.
Your thoughts are protected,
Attempts alerted with a sting.
Your hand raised against an innocent
Triggers a blinding migraine.
Accompanying your vice and pleasure is
A persistent coppery-crimson aftertaste.
Relief comes with acts of kindness,
Curse broken with a change of heart.Properties and Drawbacks:Primary effects:Protects the wearer from mental scanning or reading.
Does not protect against
ancient efforts, or those who are distinctly powerful.
Each mindreading effort delivers a stinging to the wearer to alert them.
The pain is proportionate to the difference in mental ability between the wearer and the one attempting to read.
Secondary effects:Trying to abuse someone will give the wearer a migraine.
The intensity of the migraine increases so long as the abuse continues.
Anything consumed by the wearer has a bloody aftertaste.
Heightened enjoyment of the thing being consumed increases how pronounced this aftertaste will be.
Alignment: This necklace will work for anyone who wears it. Their character will determine if the secondary effects are triggered. If the conditions of the curse are met, the necklace will retain its thought-protective qualities.
Enhance and Compete:Can be undone by spellwork, but any efforts to remove certain effects of the necklace will undo all of the effects, rendering the object ordinary.
Can be physically destroyed.
Neutral to blessings.
Accepts curses (especially those that align with its intent).
Competes with other magical objects (results may vary, destruction is likely)
Destroyed by draconic/demonic/angelic/fallen/dark magic/fire/weapons.
