Item: Buoyant Buckle
This +1 leather armor has several large pouches along the sides of the torso as well as the front and back sides of the legs. While wearing this armor, you can quickly inflate these large pouches with air, allowing you to float in water.
Activate—Flotation 1 (manipulate)
Frequency once per day
Effect You inflate large pouches that allow you to float. You gain a swim Speed equal to half your land Speed. You can swim only along the surface of the water while this is active. You can stow the flotation devices as a 1-minute exploration activity. If the pouches take any damage (AC 10, Hardness 0), they quickly deflate, ending the effect.
Trait Effects
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
