☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Somewhere in parallel, sequential, or perhaps perpendicular time...

Also, by the generosity of the Empress, prizes will be raffled off for the winners of each match (determined randomly):

"Mmmmm, what a powerful additional factor and motivation. I wonder, could I turn this even more to my advantage? Hmmmm.... Oh, right, I can try!"



>Carneol's Forge

No, spending that last 1 AP was definitely a good idea. First of all, her usual cloak frankly looked a bit dull, hardly fitting for a grandmaster. Secondly... The redhead remembered her ordeals in the Dark Lands all too well. The moment she was left alone, she faced a multitude of problems: wild magic, poison and danger everywhere. One could never be sure about the water, or even the air around, and Stantri's protective items no longer saved her.

And now, on the eve of Nephria, there was a suspicion that in the lands of the mighty Monogat, something similar might await them. It's not always something as simple as "poisons" or just "negative effects" — often it's something entirely unpredictable and tricky that needs to be filtered out (if one could call it that, but in essence it's more complex). And where a charcoal filter proves useless, a special rune would not be. And the current tournament might, oddly enough, help test it out... D

Using the known Erefir technology, as usual, calling upon the Patrons, she crafts a beautiful red cloak, with a small Carneol insignia engraved on it (for style) and the needed rune:

Law (order, justice). Fate (inevitability, hope). And the last symbol — weakening, cooling, death.

This rune sets a law so that even the inevitable worst outcome weakens and becomes impossible.

Having spent a considerable amount of time attuning to this solid (albeit not as hard as metal) material of the cloak, and making the runic pattern as precise as possible, pouring into it a piece of her soul, some smithing magic, and wishing very, very strongly for the desired effect (for the power of desire mattered), Erefir crafts (?):


Atmosphere (heavy cloak)

Presumed effects:
+5% defense
Rune of negation of negation. Food or liquids consumed by the character, or air inhaled, cannot impose negative effects (of a magical/physical nature, but not curses? Not sure about various zombifications either.)
Erefir only?
