Activate 10 minutes (concentrate, manipulate)


The bristles on a miraculous paintbrush shift in a rainbow of colors, and can magically create an object painted with them. The paint flows as you Activate the miraculous paintbrush and changes color at your whim as you paint. The paint can cover a 10-foot-square, two-dimensional surface. When you're done painting, attempt a DC 30 Crafting check.


Critical Success The object you painted emerges from the surface as a real, permanent object no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. It's non-magical and inanimate and has no value except to certain art collectors. If you paint a creature, machine, or form of energy (such as a campfire), these depictions appear only as inanimate sculptures. The created object has a painterly appearance that clearly marks its unusual origin, but is as real as any other.

Success As critical success, but the object constantly sheds flakes of paint until it falls apart, destroyed, after 24 hours.

Failure The pigments leave a painting that doesn't quite look right and doesn't become an object.

Critical Failure Is it a dog? Whatever you made is a pretty lousy painting and doesn't resemble what you set out to make.


Trait Effects

Consumable: An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it’s destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. A character can Craft consumable items in batches of four.

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.
