Enchanted Items from the pages of Warlock Magazine, part 1

Sword of Anclias (#13/31, #72/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a gleaming longsword whose sharp blade is made from White Steel (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, p. 83). Whoever wields it in combat may add 2 points to their SKILL score. It gets its name from its original bearer, the great hero Anclias of Carsepolis, though some say it now lies among the treasures of the lair of the evil mystic Ar-Gadayon, within his Tower of Hades.

Sword of Hades (#14/31, #73/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a broadsword whose notched blade is made from demonic Black Steel (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, p. 83). Unfortunately the Sword of Hades is cursed and possessed by an evil spirit.  Whoever holds this weapon will be taken over by the spirit immediately, unless they have some form of magical protection. The sword-bearer's SKILL will drop to a score of 6, and, being completely possessed, they will not give up the sword without a fight. In fact, anyone wielding the Sword of Hades can only release their hold on the weapon when their STAMINA scores reaches 1 or below. Make sure to keep a note of the Hero's STAMINA score before they picked up the Sword of Hades! Legend claims this cursed sword now lies among the treasures of the lair of the evil mystic Ar-Gadayon, within his appropriately-named Tower of Hades.

Helm of the Hunched King (#15/31, #74/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This appears as a simple, unadorned bronze helmet of archaic design. However, when worn it will give the wearer a bonus of +2 to any SKILL, STAMINA or LUCK checks against attacks which affect the mind. For example, this could include the wail of a Banshee, the gaze of a Vampire, the mesmerism of a Brain Slayer, etc. Some say the Helm still rests in the Tomb of the Hunched King, whose barrow is marked by a circle of seven standing stones, somewhere out there up on the high moors of the windswept central Allansian highlands.

Bronze Runeshield (#16/31, #75/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is an antique bronze shield from the Arrowhead Archipelago, and is ornately decorated with magical runes. In fact, the shield is a wondrous sight to behold, particularly when it catches the light of the sun, and appears almost too good to be used in battle. However, anyone who bears the Bronze Runeshield in melee combat may add 1 point to their SKILL score when fighting.
