Item: Tactician's Helm
Repurposing and enchanting a helmet worn by a battlefield commander can create a tactician's helm, imparting knowledge of battlefield tactics that feeds off your minor victories. The helm grants you a +1 item bonus to Warfare Lore checks. Also, a jewel adorns the brow of the helmet. This jewel becomes charged each time you hit a creature with a Reactive Strike. A tactician's helm can hold up to 2 charges, and its charges reset to 0 when you invest it.

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.
