Draw Steel Promptober ‘25
Day #20: Lost Book/Knowledge
Chapter from the Infinite Library: Occultus
Leveled Treasure
Gossamer-thin pages turn before you even touch them, always ready to answer the question you didn’t know to ask.
Keywords: Implement, Magic Goal: 450, Reason or Intuition
Source: Reference materials in the First Language from the Infinite Library detailing the precise physical and metaphysical dimensions of a void portal
Item Prerequisite: One bottle of sacred ink and a full ream of blessed parchment
1st Level | Interpres: You can open or close the tome as a free maneuver at the start of your turn. While the tome is open, it orbits around you and flips to specific pages at your unspoken command, your magic or psionic abilities that deal rolled damage gain a +1 damage bonus, and whenever you use a magic or psionic ability, you can spend 1 Heroic Resource to allow yourself or one ally within distance of the ability to teleport up to a number of squares equal to your highest characteristic score as a free triggered action after the ability resolves.
5th Level | Impulsor: While the tome is open, the implement’s damage bonus increases to +2, and whenever you deal rolled damage with a magic or psionic ability, you can spend up to 3 surges to teleport one creature or object targeted by the ability up to 2 squares per surge spent.
9th level | Infinitus: While the tome is open, the implement’s damage bonus increases to +3, and you can spend 1 minute focusing on its teachings to open a one-way portal that leads to any place you have previously been. You and your allies can pass through the portal, which remains open for 1 minute, until you pass through it, or until you dismiss it as a main action. You can’t open another portal this way until you earn 1 or more Victories.
