Mallifor’s Mug Of Magnification
So… going to make an attempt to post small things regularly, instead of long articles I never quite finish. Just bits of what I call game lego — items, spells, monsters, feats, traps, etc, all the building blocks. (Plot, character, and memorable events, you have to provide yourself — I give you the toys, you play with them. That’s how it works.)
This is a Breakfast Crunch article — something I wrote while eating breakfast and getting ready for work, with all the editing, playtesting, and keen attention to detail that implies!
Mallifor’s Mug Of Magnification
Mallifor was a wizard who was slightly bonkers, a statement akin to “Rongnar Blackbraids was a dwarf who had a beard.” The son of a potter, he never quite forgot his upbringing, and is known for creating a series of magical mugs, brilliantly carved, that impart all manner of effects.
Pouring anything into a mug is a swift action, provided both the mug and what you’re pouring (usually a potion) is in your hand.
Mallifor’s Mug Of Magnification
Aura faint transmutation; CL 7th
Slot none; Price 9,000 gp; Weight 1 lbs.
Description:This mug is of red clay, covered with blue and green glazing in swirling, wave-like patterns. When a potion is poured into the mug, if it is imbibed within one round, it is treated as an empowered spell. The mug may be used up to 1d4 times per day, rolled secretly by the GM when the mug is first used on a given day. Using it an additional time produces a loud and unpleasant noise, and the potion becomes foul and undrinkable (anyone who tries is sickened for 1d4 rounds, Fort save DC 15 to negate)
Once filled, the mug may be handed off to an ally to drink from, or drunk by the owner. All the normal rules for drinking a potion, including any applicable feats, work as written when drinking from the mug.
Any potion poured in the mug cannot be spilled, so long as the owner of the mug does not wish it to be. This is true even if the mug is tossed or thrown to someone else.
If the potion in the mug is not imbibed within one round of being poured, it vanishes.
Construction Requirements: craft wondrous item, empower spell, brew potion, craft (Potter) 5 ranks. Cost: 4,500 gold.
Some variants of this use pewter mugs, silver goblets, etc. They are mechanically identical, but require a different crafting skill.
