Activate 1 (manipulate)


A spellslasher is made of faceted crystal, its edges sharp and oddly misaligned. When it's applied to a weapon, it attunes the weapon to magical energies, allowing it to slice through spells as though they were physical threads. While your weapon is under the effect of a spellslasher, you gain the Spellslash reaction; you can use this reaction only with the affected weapon, and the spellslasher's effects end as soon as you use Spellslash.

Spellslash R (magical, manipulate)

Trigger You are the only target of a spell


Effect You swing or shoot your weapon to intercept the magic, attempting to counteract the spell. Your counteract rank is equal to half your level (rounded up), and your counteract check modifier is equal to your attack modifier with the affected weapon.


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.

Whetstone: Whetstones are magically enhanced items designed to increase a weapon’s effectiveness, sometimes taking the form of literal stones, but often instead constructed of materials with a metaphorical link to the whetstone’s effect. They’re similar to talismans, though unlike talismans, they don’t need to be Affixed ahead of time. Whetstones have the whetstone trait. Click here for the full rules on Whetstones.
