Note that an intelligent item never willingly uses its last few charges. These items can always be recharged, regardless of type and capabilities. While it is possible, of course, for humans to make magical items of this sort, their main purpose should be to add more interest in the demihuman and human- oid races.

Because these items are not so versatile as regular magical items, even a relatively weak humanoid tribal shaman or witch doctor could make one with a great deal of effort. When the owner fights a foe of another race, he or she always has the satisfaction that a victorious enemy won't get the same advantage from the magical item that he or she had with it.

Watermarked PDF. Average Rating 27 ratings. These items have been collected from rule books, campaign settings, supplements, adventures, and magazines dating back to Product History The Encyclopedia Magica, Volume One , compiled and developed by Dale "slade" Henson from the work of thousands of authors, is a work of either tremendous hubris or absolute brilliance.

That can't be all that hard, right? There's a reason that the credits acknowledge James M. Ward, "for laughing when he heard slade had this project. They succeeded almost perfectly. It was without doubt a monumental and mind-numbing task. A Story in Every Item. This tome the first of four is one quarter of your go-to guide for magic item inspiration. The volume begins at Abacus of Calculation and finishes up pages later with Dust of Blending. This volume also includes comprehensive tables and rules for artifacts, money conversion, and enchanted enhancements another name for magical quirks or additional enchantments that could be applied to almost any item.

You'll find Al-Azid's Ghostly Palace, arrows of bow-breaking, multiple chaos-laden bags of beans, boots of star striding, several cloud castles, the Invulnerable Coat of Arnd, a dryad's cordial, the crown of Imperium, Tenser's Tantulus, and more versions of the deck of many things than you can play card pickup with. One of the things that I really enjoy about the Encyclopedia Magica is that the entire item description is included for each item, not just the raw game mechanics.

If there is background, history, or flavor text in the original entry, it's included here. This weapon is also called ShioZuchi's Trident. It can be used on the Prime Material Plane to attack a creature on the Ethereal Plane, requiring only a normal attack roll.

The user must be able to see ethereal things to use the fork by a detect invisible spell or other means. The pitchfork inflicts Id6 points of damage plus Strength bonus per hit. In addition, if an attack is. The victim may make a saving throw vs. They will remain there until removed by another character inflicting I d l O additional points of damage or released by the avatar himself.

This three-lined fork atop a stout rod 6 feet long appears to be a barbed military fork of some sort. However, its magical properties enable its wielder to cause all fish within a foot radius to roll.

This uses one charge of the trident. Fish failing the throw are completely under empathic command and will not attack the possessor of the trident nor any creature within 10 feet of him.

The wielder of the device can cause fish to move in whatever direction is desired and can convey messages of emotion fear, hunger, anger, indifference, repletion.

Fish who make the saving throw are free of empathic control, but they cannot approach closer than 10 feet of the trident. In addition to ordinary fish the. It doesn't affect mollusks, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and similar sorts of nonpiscine marine creatures. A school offish should be checked as a single entity. These appalling weapons are used by various types of lower planar beings in the pursuit of evil.

The treblehook curves backward and is used to entangle or snag opponents closing or fleeing, causing an additional Id3 points of damage above and beyond the glaive's normal damage. The victim is held fast unless a successful open doors roll is. On a successful strike or touch, this trident will allow the wielder to control any nonairbreathing, swimming creature save vs. This weapon is about 6 feet long. Upon command, the middle tine of the trident retracts into the pole while the shaft of the weapon lengthens to 9 feet, creating a military fork with a short center spike.

The changing of the form of the weapon from trident to fork or vice versa requires one round. As with the dagger dolphins' bane, this weapon has a lawful evil alignment and function. Only the most powerful sahuagin warriors carry them. Once per turn, it can fire a jet of steam in an area 60 feet long, 20 feet high, and 20 feet wide.

The steam inflicts 6d6 points of damage, half if a successful saving throw vs. When fired underwater, the steam travels only half the distance, and causes half damage a saving throw for X damage is applicable. The duration of the hopelessness is 2d4 rounds. After that the creature is normal again. This special weapon was designed by an unknown power, and is extremely old. The blades show centuries of nicking armor. Thousands of polishings, rust removals, and sharpenings are evident.

The leather-bound hilt looks worn, tattered, and partially rotted. The trident appears on the verge of uselessness. When wielded in wildspace or in hostile, other planar environments, it can purify enough air for one person to use in a.

A weapon of this type enables its wielder to determine the location, depth, species, and number of hostile or hungry marine predators within feet. A trident of warning must be grasped and pointed in order for the person using it to gain such information, and it requires one round to scan a hemisphere with a radius of feet. When wielded in the phlogiston, it has the powers stated above, as well as its greatest power. When the weapon strikes an opponent of opposite. This detonates on the target onlythe wielder is protected by the length of the shaft.

The 2-foot fireball inflicts Id3 points of fire damage plus the level of the trident's wielder upon the opponent a 6thlevel wielder would inflict points of fire damage in addition to the trident damage. It takes a week for the weapon to adopt the alignment of a new owner, after that time it will register as the owner's alignment if tested. A trident of yearning looks exactly like any normal trident, and its aura is indistinguishable from that of other enchanted weapons of this sort.

Any character grasping this type of trident immediately feels an overwhelming desire to be immersed in as great a depth of water as possible. This unquenchable longing causes the affected character to proceed immediately toward the largest and deepest body of water availablein any event, one that is sufficient to completely cover his or her person. Once there, the character immersespermanently. The character cannot loose his or her grip on the trident, and only a water breathing spell after submersion or a wish can enable the character to do so.

The trident is otherwise a -2 cursed magical weapon. Note that this item does not confer the ability to breathe underwater. Uluth'gak is very proud of this particular weapon, for it was given to her by her clutch-leader when. A weapon of this nature appears unremarkable, exactly like any normal trident. The wielder of a trident of submission causes any opponent struck to save vs. If the opponent fails to save, it must check morale the next round instead of. Another of the items crafted by sahuagin priests, this trident is normally only found in the possession of the most powerful members of that society.

The pool reflects some far-off scene in a shimmering image on its surface, and any creature submerging itself in the pool finds itself transported to that scene immersion must be complete for the magic to work. To control the destination of the pool requires a magical talisman that the wizard enchants at the same time that the pool is created.

The pool talisman is made of nixie, merman, and nuckalavee hairs magically encased in a large diamond. The process ruins the diamond's value as a precious stone but creates a powerful tool for traveling the dimensions. It has a 14 Intelligence and an Ego of Its special purpose is death or disfigurement to all who won't convert to the worship of Poseidon or any similar sea-god. It functions as a trident offish commanding and as a trident of warning.

It also finds water, confers water breathing and underwater action upon the bearer, and confers a cube of force ability. It possesses speech and telepathy in the common tongue as well as the languages of all sea creatures.

On a natural roll of 20, in addition to its normal damage, wave dehydrates its opponent, draining one-half of his or her remaining hit. To change the pool's destination, the bearer of the pool talisman simply stares at the water and concentrates, and the pool's image shifts to the place or dimension the user has in mind.

The pool remains fixed on that location, and may transport anyone submerged in its waters, until the pool talisman holder changes the destination again. Unless an individual holds the talisman, however, the journey is one-way; the talisman-bearer may return to the pool with up to six comrades by simply concentrating upon it while immersed in a normal body of water. The fluid in this basin is magical as long as it remains in the basin.

If it is removed, it is just colored water. Anything stuck into the liquid reacts. The item remains gold for only two turns. It has the power to detect magic in a foot radius, detect large traps within 10 feet, and detect precious metals in a foot radius.

It is semi-empathic. The magical pool portal is the favored mode of planar travel for psionicist Mellenea, but hers is. Rumors persist of one somewhere in a Sla-mori beneath Qualinost, Ansalon, and on other worlds as well.

Methods of activating the portal vary from merely touching the magical liquid to placing astrallylinked material in it and performing an incantation, but the result is the same as invoking the Psychoportive Discipline, Probability Travel sending the traveler, including his or her physical body, into the Astral Plane.

A dimensional pool can appear as a small pond, an ornate reflecting pool, or anything in between. The pool's form is decided by the wizard who creates it. These pools can be used to travel from. The water falls down a surface of rocks and undergoes a brief magical change.

At its beginning it is merely water, and when it falls into the. If taken during the course of its fall, however, the liquid is. A draft of one pint volume has some effect, similar to a potion. To determine the. Note that the Potion Miscibility Table must be used if more than one such drink is taken. Storage of the liquid in any sort of container causes it to lose all of its magical properties instantly. Ten feet from its edge, the water is 10 feet deep. It is 30 feet deep in the center.

Visibility is 3 feet clearly, 6 feet dimly. Roll 1 2. Magical Effects Baldness: Hair regrows naturally in time. Diminution: As the potion of the same name.

Philter of Loaf: Sit with feet up or lie.

It is entirely surrounded by an impenetrable force wall created by Porpherio. The wall is a complete ellipsoid a solid oval-shaped body thus tunneling or flying gain invaders nothing if they attempt to enter the garden. In addition to being impenetrable, the wall has strange properties. When viewed from a distance, it is transparentthe garden is visible from afar, from inside the garden there is an excellent view of the surrounding countryside. When approached, the wall gradually becomes opaque.

It begins to mist over when the viewer is 30 feet away and, as someone begins to approach, the opacity increases until about 10 feet away, when vision through the walls becomes impossible. Just prior to his death, Porpherio laid five great enchantments on the entire garden area that are still in effect.

The flow of time in the garden has been slowed in relation to the outside world so that all that dwell inside age very slowly. This may pose a problem for the adventurers since, when they return to the outside world, they may have been absent some time. They will not, however, suffer any ill effects on their return like unnatural aging , apart from a partial loss of memory.

This enchantment also means that from the inside of the garden the passing of time the passage of the sun and other time effects on the outside appears to be going at the expected rate. No fire, natural or magical, can be made to burn in the garden. Magical or psionic flying, and levitation can-. No matter what the season outside the garden, inside it is always summer. During the garden's nights, a little light rain from small, magically produced clouds provides whatever moisture.

For each day spent in the garden, two years pass in the outside world; for each hour spent in the garden, one month passes. The DM must therefore take care recording time. It is possible that characters will try to destroy. Physical assault cannot harm it, though a magical assault may cause a temporary weakening of the field. For this to occur, a spell. Any weakening of the field, however, causes a temporal wind to sweep the caster into a time vortex.

The DM may choose to have the caster arrive in a random dimension, at a random time. As a consequence of the enchantments Porpherio cast, the entire garden and all its contents and inhabitants show a strong dweomer if detect.

Further, such detection indicates all possible forms of magicconjuration, alteration, abjuration, and others are present, thus making. Because the garden has a highly magical. First, druids operate within the confines of the. This affects their spell abilities, hit points and saving throws. Druids gradually become aware of their. The advancement is temporary, lost when the druid returns to the outside world. As the. Thus, the loss.

Then too, many spells do not operate or have. Spells that do not have their usual effects: A chariot of Sustarre cannot operate through the time barrier. Command operates, but creatures do not obey this may confuse the caster as he or she will be of the opinion that command operates normally. Conjure elemental does not conjure a fire elemental, though other elementals may be conjured as normal. Dimension door takes the traveler through the time barrier, but only to the Astral Plane.

Dispel magic only works on a single, specific item; it cannot be used on areas of the garden. Drawmij's instant summons works, but articles called from outside the barrier are lost in time.

A glyph of warding will not produce a fire glyph. Predict weather works, but the forecast is always "fine. Snare operates, but not against the interests of the garden. Suggestion and mass suggestion have the same limitation as snare. Trip is also subject to the snare limitation. The only entrance to the garden apart from planar travel is through a cave complex under the southwestern side of the hill on which the garden stands.

These caves were formed by the river that once flowed freely from the garden but which now, due to the time change, no longer reaches the cave opening. Over the eons, the original river bed in the surrounding countryside was refilled and covered without trace.

If the area is searched, the entrance to the cave complex may easily be found. The garden grounds, portions of which can be seen through the barrier, are extremely well maintained and beautifully ordered, as if by a team of expert gardeners. The grounds fall into two distinct categories: woodland and lawn. The woodlands are pleasant, sunny, open places with the trees well spaced and a rich greensward studded with a multitude of flowers.

Unless otherwise indicated, there is a generous collection of tree species and other plants includ Pundits among the players may complain about the mixture of species for example, shrubbery and grass growing beneath a beech tree , the DM should remind the players that the area is magical and almost anything can happen. The woodlands are threaded with pathways, they are obvious when trod upon or crossed, slight depressions in the turf that bear no flowers.

But, once abandoned, a path may only be found by crossing it. When not on a path, a party cannot. On each turn roll Id6: Roll Direction The party wanders at 45 to the left of their chosen route.

They go where they intend. They wander at 45 to the right of their chosen route. It may only be reached via the teleport mechanism in the garden maze. Not all the garden denizens were present in Porpherio's time.

A treant has made a home here. The lawns are not difficult to cross; characters may go anywhere on them without difficulty and without becoming lost. As in the woodland, the paths cannot be seen unless followed or crossed. Despite their neat appearance, the lawns are never cut, but, like all else here, grow under the.

The garden inhabitants, including a pair of. If the party does no harm, they meet nothing worse than extreme indifference though some inhabitants attack on sight or under certain circumstances left to the DM's imagination. Any form of aggression physical or verbal or any hint that the party has come to take away the two lovers results in an assault by the inhabitants.

Under no circumstances can the garden's inhabitants including those charmed by the fountain A11 Heal be persuaded, charmed, hypnotized, or controlled into betraying the two lovers they believe to be Caerwyn and Porpherio reborn.

During conversation with some of the more garrulous creatures for example the leprechauns , hints may be dropped that somewhere there is a palace. The Palace of Spires once stood as the residence of Caerwyn and Porpherio in the.

Green Man now tends the plants and animals at Porpherio's behest. Two human adventurers, Hamish and Argus, managed to enter the garden, drank from the fountain All Heal and so resolved to remain.

A portable hole is a circle of magical cloth spun from the webs of a phase spider and interwoven with strands of ether and beams of Astral Plane luminaries. When opened fully, a portable hole is 6 feet in diameter, but it can be folded as small as a pocket handkerchief.

When spread upon any surface, it causes an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep to come into being. This hole can be "picked up" from inside or out simply by taking hold of the edges of the magical cloth and folding it up. Either way, the entrance disappears, but anything inside the hole remains. The only oxygen in the hole is that allowed by creation of the space, so creatures requiring the gas cannot remain inside for more than a turn or so without opening the space again by means of the magical cloth.

The cloth does not accumulate weight even if its hole is filled with gold, for example. Each portable hole opens on its own particular nondimensional space. If a bag of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn in the space, and the bag and the cloth are sucked. If a character attempts to use it to hide in shadow while crossing a featureless plain, the presence of a "black hole" attached to nothing is more likely to attract attention than to divert it.

However, it can provide a shady place to cool off, away from the desert sun. This blue piece of cloth becomes a bubbling spring, pouring forth gallons of water a day whenever it is placed on the ground.
