[Event] The Wishing Stone - Printable Version

what might this be..?

So Genevive wished to dazzle? The Wishing Stone sang almost excitedly, for it touched upon just the thing. There were rare magics seeping through this cave, some of them rare indeed, and one of them was perfect for Genevive's wishes! In an instant, Genevive would feel her eyes lighting up: a new spell settling into her mind, its effects temporarily flaring bright. Her eyes sparkled a bright azure blue, pupils drowned to nothing in the glow of a light that danced and flared there. When it faded, she would remember how to repeat the magic: a gift of knowledge, and of course, of beauty.

Genevive receives: Starry Eyed.

The Wishing Stone hummed and flashed for a time at Asteri's visit. The question was a tough one: how could a creature with no hands bear a shield? But the stone seemed to hit on the answer soon enough; after all, these caves were indeed full of magic. And magic--as the stone now whispered into Asteri's mind, imparting the knowledge of this new spell--could serve as a shield just as well. Hopefully, it would serve him well.

Asteri receives: Barrier.

Edric's request was an interesting one--and difficult; power, the stone seemed to think, comes with time, and practice. But perhaps there was a way to strengthen Edric to make such a path simpler to travel..? A whisper of magicka curled into the boar's body, and the stone urged him away: to find somewhere safe. To sleep. To rest, and return to his stone, and reawaken... changed.

Edric receives: A mutation, gaining armored upper hide, enlarged double tusks, circlets of spines above each real hoof, and defensive spines.

The Warden's request was at once greeted with a loud and hefty thunk. from somewhere just behind it. Indeed, the stone had not 'crafted' a thing--and the weapon had appeared from thin air, though conveniently, just out of sight. Even at first glance it was clear that this blade was something special: and, in a sense, oddly opposite from that of The Warden's lifegiver. Rather than swathed in smoky shadows, the brassy glaive glowed with a soft, pale light--and the moment it was swung, it would emit blinding flashes in the direction of each swing. It was at once clear how useful this would be: it could leasily blind an enemy mid-combat. And with the blade came the sudden knowledge: It is called, 'Lightning.'

The Warden receives: Lightning. (See below for details.)

Maximus's request was somewhat more difficult, and they might feel the faint intrusion as the Wishing Stone almost seemed to sift through all that Maximus already was. They had all of the magic to mend others'; they had the power, even, to seek out the beating hearts of strangers. Yet a whisper seemed to come, thoughtful, with the stone--something similar to what Wilder had been told not long before. So many who have come here have already been in need. Seeking friends. Lonely. Sad. Maximus already had the tools to help those, but... Perhaps... this might help.

There came a gentle tink just beside Maximus; a little amulet, a purple-gold gemstone very like the Wishing Stone itself, but without its chime or shifting colors. It was set in gold, in a golden chain. Maximus would know, at once, what it was: the stone 'Heart's Desire,' which would glow near those in need, brighter by proximity. But it would never lead the bearer to those they wished to harm; and it would never lead to those who did not wish to be found. But the wounded, the lonely, those who ached for a friend--if Maximus watched, Heart's Desire would show the way.

Maximus receives: Heart's Desire. (See below for details.)

Kaprison was met with a deep and flourishing sense of mischief.

'AND get away with it?' A soft clink not unlike that which had deposited Maximus's amulet now set down a simple golden ring, one with a few scuffmarks and scratches. It simply appeared by Kaprison's side, the perfect size to fit a fox-imp's finger. With it came a sudden knowledge of the item's magic, and its name: The Ring of the Master Thief. It will hide you, so long as you are quiet--but only once each day. When your mischief swells too greatly, and your escape seems unlikely, the Ring of the Master Thief will hide you!

Kaprison receives: Ring of the Master Thief. (See below for details.)

A brighter surge of light and color, a happy chiming, accompanied Forgraves' thanks. And his next request provoked a thoughtful hum; the Stone almost seemed to be... thinking.

After a moment, there was a click; and a box, perhaps some eight inches per side, appeared behind Forgraves. It was no ordinary box, however: each side held intricate patterns, carvings, even divots and holes. It was made of pieces of old, tarnished but well-wrought metal and ancient wood, all carefully pieced together with extraordinary craftsmanship. It was a puzzle box, each side a new puzzle; once all six were solved, it would open. Judging by the rattling, something was inside, though it was clear that the true reward was the box itself, its worksmanship and the practice it would provide in solving interesting puzzles.

Forgraves receives: Puzzle Box. (Each side can be opened with a Barely+ Successful roll; once fully opened, a GM should be tagged to reveal the box's contents.)

OOC Reward:
Josie has won their choice of a Tier Two reward, and may claim any one of the following for ANY of their characters in Update Me or Discord's Requests channel: Medium Spell Borrow, 500 Magicka, or Lost Stone (Guaranteed Revive, Hybrid Animal, GM-Rolled)
(I was late in GM responding so this is day three and four for Josie!)

Bebby's request was greeted with a THUNDROUS clatter all around her: an enormous number of brightly-colored, even gaudy, beaded necklaces, bracelets, clip-on earrings and rings made of polished gem on elastic bands. None of the stones were anything special; none held magic of any kind. But they were so multicolored, so flashy and bright, that they almost outdid Bebby's own rainbow hues.

As if in afterthought, there was a final clack as a single, black but very stylish, pair of sunglasses tumbled down atop the pile.

Bebby receives: a sick jewelry collection.
