Blade of Consequences by
The massive blade known as Consequences carries several potent enchantments of battle, but also has a frustrating quirk: Its wielder finds himself unable to put it down until he enters the presence of a magistrate or other authority. Even then, it instantly returns to his hands if he has committed murder and fails to confess. Unless he somehow resists the blade's magic, the weilder's hands then run with fresh blood; the judgmental blade fights his every motion until he confesses his crimes.

The rogue selling the vials claims that they were recovered from a ruin of the Crystal Empire, but can he be believed? |

The ancient prophet Oijas Bek uttered a cryptic prediction:<i>In the time of the Floating Ships, In the Capitol of the Shattered Empire, The False God will draw the people to his banner, The Blasphemer shall don robes of righteousness.</i> No one is sure what he meant, but the various sects each have their theories, which they often fight over. |

Enchanted Alchemist's Tools by
An alchemist enchanted his equipment to produce even more powerful alchemical compounds, potions and the like. Unfortunately, it is not well-known that he had different sets of equipment for different processes: If the wrong set of gear is used, the result will invariably fail to function. It's not a cursed item, just something that's hard to figure out.

Magical Syrup by
Certain trees have sap that is filled with magical potential. Their sap is harvested and distilled down to produce various types of potions, much like maple syrup is collected in some areas. The magical effects of these syrupy potions are often fairly trivial; perhaps they simply cause the imbiber to grow hair more quickly, summon butterflies, or walk a few inches above the floor. People enjoy the syrup as a flavoring, instead of imbibing it for its magical powers.
