Taking offers on:

a night black steel quiver
a. A series of tiny rivets are set flush into the night black steel surface of the boxy quiver, giving it a solid and simplistic build. A thin hinge parallel to the bottom edge of its front panel allows a wide hatch to swivel open and closed. Subtle slits are raised from its top surface, facing back toward a pair of clips mounted on its rear. The only stray piece on the entire quiver is a single ring, posted in front of the vents.
b. Torkington Quiver, works as follows:

Torkington's explanation of the mechanical quivers.

Torkington says, "The first step is to take a bundle of prepared shafts, either from wood or bone."
>
Torkington says, "I have some mossbark prepared from earlier."
>
Torkington removes a bundle of rough mossbark arrow shafts from in his dark spidersilk pack.

Torkington places his arrow shafts into the chute inside the open hatch on the front of his black steel quiver.

Torkington points at a matte black steel quiver.

Torkington says, "If you wish, you can also add a bit of fletchig paint."
>
Torkington removes some royal blue paint from in his dark spidersilk pack.

Torkington slides his royal blue paint into the compartment fitted into the open hatch on the front of his black steel quiver until it stops with an audible *CLICK*.


Torkington says, "After that, you can cast a spell at the quiver, which will be absorbed into the ring on top, here..."
>
Torkington ponders.

Torkington gestures at a matte black steel quiver.
A small ring mounted on the top of the black steel quiver frosts over with the cold, drawing the energy toward its center.

Torkington says, "Now, just a little turn of the crank on the side..."
>
Torkington tries to turn the crank on the side of his black steel quiver, but its front hatch seems to interfere.
>
Torkington swiftly shuts the hatch on the front of his black steel quiver, the door sliding smoothly along its hinges.
>
As Torkington begins turning the crank on the side of his black steel quiver, you hear the churning of gears followed by a series of grinding and cutting noises. A shrill, high-pitched whistling sound emanates from within as steam rises from a series of vented slits on the top of the quiver. Finally, the sounds begin to fade as the crank rolls through the last bit of resistance.
>
Torkington swiftly opens the hatch on the front of his black steel quiver, the door sliding smoothly along its hinges.


Torkington removes a bundle of spiraled royal blue mossbark-shafted arrows from in his black steel quiver.

Torkington says, "These arrows will be imbued with the element of cold from the cast of Major Cold that the quiver absorbed."

>
Torkington put a bundle of spiraled royal blue mossbark-shafted arrows in his silver case.

Torkington says, "The quiver can absorb many types of spells, mostly of the elemental or holy nature."
>
Torkington smiles.


Torkington says, "Do take note that the pieces need to be in proximity of the quiver to keep its influence."

Torkington says, "As the sign states... they are good for a couple hundred pieces or so before they break down."
>
Torkington says, "That has been a commonality in all of my earlier experiments."

Torkington says, "However, it should be possible for me to fix them, given the proper tools and time."
