Miscellaneous magic paraphernalia from another world...

Shadow Cloak (#29/30, #120/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item) 

The Shadow Cloak is much desired by thieves and other rogue-like ilk, for it wreathes its wearer in a black shroud that seems to deepen the darkness around them, and makes it difficult to tell exactly where the wearer is. Anyone who is fighting or targeting a wearer of the Shadow Cloak must reduce their Attack Strength by 1 due to their confusion at the wearer's shifting and transitory nature. In addition, the wearer of the Shadow Cloak may add a +2 bonus to their Special Skill roll when sneaking and hiding. Shadow Cloaks are thought to be made from the shadowy black residue left behind when one slays a Skull Beast, or other major Undead inhabitant of the Lands of the Dead, as well as Shadow Demons, magical Shadows, and other tenebrous beings of that sort.

Crown of Mistletoe (#30/30, #121/365) [EA:V2] (Trinket) 

This is a simple crown of green leaves from the Mistletoe plant (see The Titan Herbal, p. 49), and is often worn as a symbol of holiness. It will allow the use of one Priest Power for free; i.e. a Priest will be able to use one of their powers twice a day instead of once a day. It can only be used once. Crowns of Mistletoe are usually worn by Druids and others that venerate the plant gods such as Galana, Aegraven and Argowen.

GOLDEN APPLE (#1/31, #122/365) [TTHA]

Appearance: This is a small tree with yellow-green oval-shaped leaves, pinkish-white flowers and large golden yellow fruit.
 
Distribution: Hills and mountains across Titan.
 
Effects: The Golden Apple is a wonderfully refreshing fruit when eaten, restoring up to 4 STAMINA points. Better still, once picked it does not spoil for up to six months, remaining crisp, sweet and edible during this time. Otherwise, it has all similar properties to regular Apples (see The Titan Herbal, p. 20), except that it is unknown what cider made from Golden Apples would be like.
 
Cost: City 10gp, Town 12gp, Village 15gp (per fruit)
 
Availability: Very Rare
 
Further Notes: The Golden Apple is considered a sacred fruit of both the Sun Goddess Glantanka, and Galana, the Goddess of Plants. It is rumoured there is a glade of such fruit-bearing trees in a deep valley among the Shio'sii Mountains, guarded by Ki-Rin and a Greater Tatsu. 

SILVER APPLE (#2/31, #123/365) [TTHA]

Appearance: This is a small tree with light green oval-shaped leaves, pinkish-purple flowers and large fruit whose hue is so pale as to almost be white.
 
Distribution: Hills and wilderness across Titan.
 
Effects: The Silver Apple is a refreshing fruit when eaten, restoring up to 2 STAMINA points. Better still, eating a Silver Apple also grants the consumer the ability to see in the dark; they will have the equivalent of the Dark Seeing Talent for up to one hour after eating the Silver Apple. Otherwise, it has all similar properties to regular Apples (see The Titan Herbal, p. 20), except that it is unknown what cider made from Silver Apples would be like.
 
Cost: City 10gp, Town 12gp, Village 15gp (per fruit)
 
Availability: Very Rare
 
Further Notes: The Silver Apple is considered a sacred fruit of Lunara the Moon Goddess, and she is often depicted in temple frescoes and tapestries walking through her moonlit orchards whose trees are heavily laden with Silver Apples.
 
Mask of Gold - Spirit of the Golem (#3/31, #124/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item) 

Description: This oval-shaped mask is of an impassively smiling face, with exaggerated features and either made from gold, or (more likely), gold-leaf applied onto a carved wooden mask. The Mask of Gold allows its wearer to see magical effects and illusions.

Standard Effect: The wearer will be able to detect all magical effects present with six metres, simply by gazing at them. They will not know the nature of any effects, just that they are magical.

Attuned Effect: The wearer of the mask will not only detect magical effects as per above, but also see through all illusions, including the abilities of Shapechangers and the like.

Extra Effect: The wearer of the mask can not only see magical effects and see through illusions, but they will also be able to identify the nature of the magic or illusion that has been employed and gain an understanding of what its specific effects are. This costs 1 SKILL or Magic Point for one hour of use. The lost SKILL/Magic Points are recovered at 1 point per day.
