Sellin an ora-framed leather wolf mask, it is a scrying mask (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Scrying_mask)
Images of stars and willow leaves have been incised along the strips of pale grey ora that cover and shape the exterior of the wolf mask. The leather beneath is tanned to a fine, supple softness and dyed chocolate brown. Two disks, each half mistwood and half ebony, hang on a leather thong to rest just above the right eye. A black and silver sigil has been painted on the brow. A few bloodstains mar the bottom edge of the mask.
Examples---
You set the brass fox mask carefully onto your face. It molds to your features like a second skin.
A hungry crackling sound begins around you. Your skin grows hot as if with fever, and you feel terribly constrained by everything that touches you. The crackling grows louder and louder, raging in your ears as if an entire forest were afire, and your vision sweeps away on a tide of red and gold.
You awaken flat on your back. When you open your eyes, faint stars flicker around everything before fading away.
Roundtime: 15 sec.
Zuzana fits her brass fox mask carefully onto her face.
Zuzana's eyes go wide before unfocusing entirely. Throwing her hands skyward, she cries,"Burning from Elanith, burning from the composers, burning from the respect! My martyr, my martyr, what has become of you?" Then, Zuzana's eyes roll back in her head, and she collapses to the floor as she passes out.
Eugenides suddenly throws back his head and spreads his arms wide, crying out, "Burning from the plague, burning from the consolers, burning from the puzzlement! Charted in fire, the future breathes ashes...." Then, Eugenides's eyes roll back in his head, and he collapses to the floor as he passes out.
A coldness begins to creep over you. It begins in your fingertips, but then it expands up your arms to flow up your spine and down your legs. The cold turns abruptly to ice, sending a massive shiver racking through your body right before the world dissolves in a stream of blue, green, and silver light. You float away on that light, leaving the world behind.
You awaken flat on your back. When you open your eyes, faint stars flicker around everything before fading away.
Roundtime: 15 sec.
A strange, slightly dizzy feeling overcomes you. You feel as light as silk, or a feather, or a wind sprite. The world spins and twirls away beneath you as you spread your arms to the wind's embrace. You feel nothing, hear nothing, see nothing but the rush of air all around you....
You awaken flat on your back. When you open your eyes, faint stars flicker around everything before fading away.
Roundtime: 15 sec.
Wearer raises a hand gracefully to attract attention. In a smooth, lyrical voice, she says, "Breathe in winter. Breathe out your peace. Water is never destroyed, and neither are you, if you see the answer." Then, Wearer's eyes roll back in her head, and she collapses to the floor as she passes out.
In a clear, cold voice, Wearer says, "The summoner of Tilaok, and the peacock garbed in amber-hued. What do they have in common? For one with spread wings, Tilaok is not unconquerable. Then, Wearer's eyes roll back in her head, and she collapses to the floor as she passes out.
