Anyone can use an essence forge to craft an essence charm without needing to know the formula for an essence charm. No larger than a coin, an essence charm is normally worn around the neck or hung from a belt—its exact appearance is up to the crafter. When an essence charm is created, its crafter selects a skill in which they are at least trained. The essence charm grants a +1 item bonus to that skill when worn.


Activate—Lucky Charm R (concentrate)

Frequency once per day

Trigger You fail or critically fail a check using the essence charm's chosen skill

Effect A failed check becomes a success, and a critical failure becomes a failure.


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.
