Aura strong divination Slot none; Weight 3 lbs. The first revelation quills were created by the followers of the Peacock Spirit. Since the fall of Thassilon, the method for creating them has been lost. The few revelation quills that remain today continue to function, drawing their revelations, it is said, from the Peacock Spirit itself. The quill is fashioned form a peacock's tail feather. Its nib is made of bone, and when held in one's hand, the quill seems strangely heavy. If placed in an empty vial or other glass container of similar size and left there for an hour, a revelation quill fills that container with ink. The ink created is of a random color 50% of the time, otherwise the ink is black. While a revelation quill can certainly function as a standard writing implement, its true strength lies in its ability to answer questions. Once per day, if the user concentrates on a specific future goal, event, or activity occurring within the coming week, the revelation quill take...

Aura moderate abjuration; CL 6th Slot amulet; Price 900 gp; Weight - Upon a frail silver chain dangles a tiny crystalline phial filled with light blue dust.

Each phial holds one use of the dust and, once used, the item is destroyed. This phial can be used as a thrown weapon (CR 141). While legends credit Runelord Belimarius with creating dust of envy , further historical accounts imply that the remaining runelords also uncovered the secrets of making their own virtue-related dusts - all of which activate under similar circumstances and produce similar effects, being attuned to a specific sin and targeting spells of the schools related to the two opposing sins.

Runelord Alaznist, inspired by and jealous of Karzoug's success with the runewell of greed , experimented with variant runewells of her own design. Many of these minor runewells of wrath existed in her domain - with the only one found on mainland Avistan hidden in the Catacombs of Wrath under Sandpoint. Every time a creature with a wrathful soul dies within a mile of a minor runewell , it gains 1 wrath point. There's no limit to the number of wrath points the minor runewell can store. Each time the well's waters are drawn upon (as detailed below), a number of wrath points are expended. If enough points are expended to put its total at 0 or negative wrath points, the minor runewell deactivates, its waters fading away. Reactivating the minor runewell requires long-lost rituals - or the reactivation of a major runewell somewhere else in the world. Such an event restores a minor runewell of wrath to a starting level of 3 wrath points. A minor runewell is only 3 feet de...
