Aura faint Creation and Divination; CL 1st; Scaling bauble
Slot body; Price 10 gp; Weight —

Description
This magic item is designed to be used principally with the Wizard’s Academy adventure module.

This woolen scholar’s outfit is true blue in color, and shifts in length and shape depending upon who attempts to don it so to best accommodate the creature’s anatomy. For example, a fenghaung may find it transform into a vest of sorts that will not impede its flight, whereas if an awakened serpent were to don the outfit, it would become a form fitting tube. As the outfit becomes attuned to the wearer over the passage of time, the outfit begins to make slight alterations such as changing the robe’s color, texture, etc. to better match the form and disposition of its owner.
5th Level – 525 gp: While wearing the outfit, the creature gains a +2 competence bonus to all Spellcraft checks, and a +1 competence bonus to any End of Week Test (and any other appropriate event at GM’s discretion).
9th Level – 2,300 gp: While wearing the outfit, the creature also gains a +2 competence bonus to all Knowledge checks and may attempt any Knowledge check untrained.
13th Level – 7,000 gp: The competence bonus to Spellcraft checks increases to +4, and the competence bonus to any End of Week Test increase to +3.
17th Level – 20,500 gp: The competence bonus to Knowledge checks increases to +6, and the wearer may take 10 on any Knowledge check even if stress and distractions would normally prevent the creature from doing so.

Forge Charm, Life sphere; Cost 20,000 gp

Aura moderate Weather; CL 10th
Slot neck; Price 45,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description
The amulet of emotional weather is a beautiful piece crafted from clear diamonds of multiple sizes. However, depending on the wearer’s mood, they can change the color to blue (sad), red (angry), green (happy), or yellow (scared). The amulet of emotional weather is considered a cursed item, and cannot be taken off except with the aid of magic such as the Break Enchantment talent from the Life sphere.

The emotional state of the wearer of an amulet of emotional weather becomes reflected in the weather around them. This is considered a casting of control weather with a caster level of 10; the weather within 200 feet of the wearer will change at a rate of 1 severity level per round as normal, until it reaches severity level 5 in the determined category.

If the wearer feels particularly sad, the weather around them becomes Precipitation severity 5. If they feel particularly angry, the weather becomes Heat severity level 5. If they feel particularly happy, the weather becomes Wind severity 5, and if they feel particularly scared, the weather becomes Cold severity 5.

The exact nature of what constitutes a strong emotion is determined by both the player and the GM; if the player says a particular situation would make his character feel happy this would trigger the amulet, and if the GM notes that the character is behaving particularly sad, they might note the amulet has activated. Other situations, such as magic or conditions that alter emotions, would also trigger the amulet; if the character is subject to an effect that renders them shaken, frightened, or panicked, this counts as being scared, while being under a mind-altering effect that grants a morale bonus would count as being happy. Spells such as overwhelming grief would count as being sad, while the rage class feature or the eliciter’s touch of rage power would count as being angry.

A character can create an emotional state inside themselves to fool the amulet by attempting a DC 20 Perform (act) check as a move action. In all other cases, the GM is the final arbiter of what constitutes feeling a respective emotion when such things are in dispute.

Item Variants

The blessing of the fates and the fragment of destiny can be crafted at the same price with an insight (Divination), morale (Mind), profane (Fate), or sacred (Fate) bonus. Players may want to stack different armor class or saving throw items by putting them in different slots. This can mildly boost their numbers, but also prevents them from wearing other items in those slots, so going overboard on that is likely to decrease their overall power rather than making them stronger. Alternatively, you can rule that characters may only equip one type of rare bonus for armor class and saves.

Note that a creature’s circumstance, deflection, dodge, insight, luck, morale, profane, and sacred bonuses to armor class also apply to its CMD.

Whenever the wearer uses an ability that is reliant on auditory components, the wearer can cause their words to sting hot with flame as an immediate action.

This ring looks like a simple piece of common iron until slipped onto the finger. Once there, it transmutes to a beautiful ring of precious metal with rare stones that reflect light in impossible ways, its appearance changing depending on who is wearing it.

The ring remains inactive until worn for 24 hours, and remains inactive if the wearer is already wearing a similar ring. When the wearer recovers spell points, the wearer gains additional spell points equal to their casting ability modifier. If the ring is taken off during the day, these points are lost (the bonus spell points from this ring are always the last points spent).

In addition, once per day the wearer can cast a spell that ignores all limitations placed on them by their casting traditions: a skilled caster does not need to attempt a check, a prepared caster can cast a spell spontaneously (giving up assigned spell points or other spells to do so), a focus caster can cast without their focus, and so forth.

Aura moderate illusion — CL 6th
Slot neck — Price 2,500 gp — Weight 1 lb.

Description
The dark iron chains that make up this necklace are so fine that it looks like a fine lace, and is studded with small onyx and sapphires.

Whenever the wearer of the sablelace choker whispers, they can choose to have their voice be inaudible, and instead be heard clearly by the intended recipient(s) as if they were whispering into their ear, as long as they can see the recipient. This can be heard by nearby creatures with a successful DC 25 Perception check (which is affected by distance and other conditions as normal). A creature that hears this whisper (recipient or not) does not know its source, although a creature that knows the wearer's voice may be alerted to their presence.
This can be used to discreetly deliver abilities that rely on auditory components (as long as the target is within range of such an ability), although there is a 20% chance that the effect fails to function.

Lastly, the wearer gains a +4 circumstance bonus to Spellcraft checks made to whisper verbal components, and to Intimidate checks made to demoralize a creature when doing so through the sablelace choker.

This oval disc is just large enough for a Medium-sized creature to stand on comfortably, and hovers above the ground when its command word is spoken.

You ignore difficult terrain and can also move over liquid surfaces as if they were solid while hovering. In addition, you may attempt a DC 20 Acrobatics check when you move with a skimmer to improve your move speed by 10 feet. Failure by five or more means you fall off the skimmer and are prone. A skimmer can only support a Medium-sized load or smaller - it will not hover when loaded heavier.

Description
A zensoul mala is a necklace of many large beads that are engraved with symbols and other etchings—despite the meanings varying largely due to the faith or culture that it originates from, the material and its benefits are often more consistently understood.

While wearing a zensoul mala, the wearer gains a +1 insight bonus to Will saving throws (which stacks with the bonus granted by successfully enduring an effect). Additionally, the wearer gains additional effects depending on the material that the zensoul mala is crafted from—most of these additional effects require the wearer to be maintaining the meditate approach from the Body Control sphere.

A zensoul mala can be worn around the neck or the wrists, and can be separated or combined as a standard action (as long as they come from the same zensoul mala). While worn in the neck slot, the benefits of the zensoul mala improve greatly.

Coral—The wearer gains a +2 insight bonus to Diplomacy checks, and while meditating the wearer can endure failed Diplomacy checks. If a coral zensoul mala is worn around the neck, while meditating, if the wearer succeeds a saving throw due to a successful endure check, all allies within 10 feet of the wearer gain a +2 insight bonus to the next saving throw of the same type they attempt within the next minute—if any such allies are attempting the same saving throw as the wearer, the bonus applies to this saving throw (which can cause a failure to become a success).

Gold—The wearer gains a +3 insight bonus to Knowledge checks, and while meditating the wearer can endure failed Knowledge checks. If a gold zensoul mala is worn around the neck, while meditating, if the wearer successfully endures an effect, they can change the granted bonus to a sacred bonus. Additionally, the wearer reduces any penalties to physical ability scores due to old age by 1.

Jade—The wearer reduces the duration of any negative emotion conditions or effects by 2 rounds (minimum 1 round). If a jade zensoul mala is worn around the neck, while meditating, if the wearer successfully endures an effect, they gain a +1 luck bonus to all saving throws and skill checks for 1 round. Additionally, the wearer can endure emotion effects while meditating.

Pearl—The wearer gains a +1 sacred bonus to their AC and saving throws against attacks or effects from creatures with the evil descriptor. If a pearl zensoul mala is worn around the neck, while meditating, the wearer can endure charm, compulsion, and possession effects—if the creator of such an effect has the evil descriptor, the wearer gains a +3 bonus to the endure check.

Sandalwood—While meditating, the wearer increases the bonus granted by a successful endure check by +1. If a sandalwood zensoul mala is worn around the neck, while meditating, the wearer can roll any endure checks twice, taking the highest result.

As part of attempting a Perform (act) or Perform (dance) check, you may hypnotise anyone in the primary radius of your light who can also see your performance, causing them to gain the fascinated condition for the duration of the performance.

Performing this way takes a full-round action each round it lasts. Affected creatures do nothing but sit quietly and watch your performance, and take a -4 penalty to Perception checks. Each creature affected by this may attempt a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your ranks in Perform + Charisma modifier) on each of their turns to throw off this effect.
