Hello all, going to be starting an auction for this legendary find by the Drakes Vanguard. All bids preferred in silver for fluidity's sake - Information to follow! Cash/bloodscrip conversions can be worked out, but raw silvers would be preferred. These were sold at a previous Wyromania auction for 2.11 million Bloodscrip.

Thanks all for stopping by!

Auction will run as long as there are active bids to prevent sniping, with a tentative final end date to the Thursday evening (If bidding has stopped). Please bid publicly.

Wyromania Description:

10% chance to absorb spells cast as a charge. 30 charges max, must be cast by a creature the player can earn experience from. Drains 25% of wearer Mana, worn on wrist as functional slot. Then there's a TAP! Room AoE dispel nuke. It's like a magical EMP. RUB is how you activate it on the next attack or spell with a dispel flare. The RUB feature is a dispel flare and separate. That uses a single charge. There are some cooldowns. It cannot be altered. The absorb feature is like kroderine armor. Except on your wrist. It absorbs spells to gain charges. It is player friendly for the AoE ability. When activated, it will hit up to 10 creatures and attempt to perform 5 dispels and deal damage to each. It doesn't attune, but if you pass it off, it will lose charges so that it cannot be passed back and forth.

Analyze:

Some krodera and kroderine chains have a chance to absorb and store magical attacks as charges. You may use these charges to unleash powerful magical dispel attacks on your enemies.

TWISTing the chains will attune you to them, losing all stored charges.

LOOKing at the chains will give you an idea of how many charges are stored.

RUBing the chains will activate a pre-attack dispel flare. This ability requires 1 charge and has a 2 minute cooldown.

TAPing the chains will unleash a room-wide magical nuke. This will drain the wearers mana, requires 3 charges, and has a 24 hour cooldown. This attack is player friendly.

PULLing the chains will do the same thing as TAP, but is player unfriendly.

You get no sense of whether or not the chains may be further lightened.

Wear/Remove messages:

>remove chains
You tug on your kroderine chains, following with a light but pointed tap. With a soft hiss, the chains uncoil from around your forearm and detach, though not without reluctance. The silvery mass of chains slowly contracts into a sullen tangle in your hand.
>wear chains

With a hiss of metal on metal, three slender chains unwind from the tangle in your hand and, like a striking snake, latch onto the base of your fingers with constricting loops. The chains writhe as they rapidly twist around your wrist and forearm in a spiral that ends just shy of your elbow.

The kroderine chains contract sharply, biting into your arm with a sudden drawing sensation.
You feel drained!


Loresong:
Your vision blurs for a moment, and you find yourself transported to the perfumed streets of Ta'Illistim at night.
A sorcerer in claret robes stalks a lone elf clad in a long grey cloak.
The sorcerer prowls after him in stealth, waiting for the right moment to strike, his hands pulsing with an ominous light.
Finally, the sorcerer strikes, unleashing his spell at the elf. Strangely, nothing happens."

Show when worn:

Thin chains of intertwined krodera are wrapped around your arm, anchored at one end by loops around three of your fingers and spiraling tightly around your wrist and up your forearm nearly to the elbow. The ends of the chains appear fused together, though it is difficult to determine with precision due to the distorted reflections thrown by the silver metal. Filaments of darker grey kroderine are shot through each link, branching like veins and darkening to black in sections.

Comes with "a filigreed rolaren reliquary with a colorful cloisonne lid" - the box that it was found in, weighs 6, holds a gigantic amount, opens/closes, etc.


Auction will run as long as there are active bids to prevent sniping, with a tentative final end date to the Thursday evening (If bidding continues). Please bid publicly.

And a little TL;DR down here: - Functional wrist slot worn, 10% chance to absorb an incoming spell and store it as a charge, charges can be used offensively (See post below for examples) Overall FANTASTIC little item, well worth the title of being a legendary item.

This derdroN person sounds mysterious and interesting... like I wouldn't want to bid more against him and I feel like he should just win it.

derdroN in an anagram of Nerd Rod. That doesn't sound like someone I'd want to compete against nor make angry at me.
