Thondalar
12-10-2012, 10:06 PM
Second auction in the series. As always, I will go once, twice, sold. Buyouts will be accepted if I like the offer. Pickup in Landing or IFW ONLY. Silvers ONLY, no IRL money.
1) A wide ivory ribbon choker set with a whorl-etched tigerfang crystal
You can push/pull the choker to set different gems in it. However, with the tigerfang in it it becomes enhancive:
The choker resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 10 to Mental Lore - Transformation Bonus.
This enhancement may not be used by the following races: Giantman Sylvankind Dark Elf Elf Dwarf Halfling Forest Gnome Burghal Gnome Half-Krolvin Erithian Aelotoi
This enhancement may not be used by the following professions: Warrior Rogue Wizard Cleric Sorcerer Ranger Bard Monk Paladin Savant
This enhancement cannot be used by adventurers without at least a middling amount of skill in Mental Lore - Transformation.
The choker looks to have a lot of charges remaining.
Oddly enough, neither the crystal nor the choker sing as enhancive when seperated, but together they do. I vaguely remember something like profession-based enhancives from EG a year or two ago? Anyway.

CB: 500k Velfi SOLD!
2) A pair of enruned ocean green ora vambraces
Strange item...basically they're leg armor. But they have a loresong. So I have no idea what properties they may have, if any. I've had several people look at them and nobody has been able to read the runes or figure out what they're from.
Loresong:
The harmonic vibrations that your song evokes in the green ora vambraces convey a sense of great age. At a rough estimate, the vambraces is worth 1 silver, but a collector of antiquities might be willing to offer a significantly greater sum.
As the green ora vambraces responds to your song, you sense echoes of ancient enchantment drifting softly through the resonances. It is difficult to say whether or not the vambraces is innately magical, but, if not, then it has certainly been exposed to a great deal of magical energy over an extended period of time.
The resonances of your music caress the ancient weave of enchantment within the green ora vambraces. You recognize both spiritual and elemental components, twisted together and permanently altered into a new form -- the unmistakable taint of sorcery.
As you sing to the green ora vambraces, you evoke the image of a short man with silver-streaked hair. He holds the green ora vambraces in his hands, studying it intently. As he traces a fingertip over the runes, they flicker into life briefly with a faint green glow, and he nods his approval. He signals to a liveried servant nearby, and the servant quickly comes to take the vambraces away. The vision drifts away from you as your verse ends.
Additionally, you can read them, but everyone who has read them so far gets the same message:
>read vam
You squint at a pair of enruned ocean green ora vambraces for a moment, but the runes are incomprehensible to you. They make your eyes blur and your head hurt.
>touch vam
You trace the runes upon your green ora vambraces with a fingertip, and, as you do so, they glimmer into life with a faint violet radiance. The light vanishes after only a second.
