Yep to the tail.

Yep to the super huge finger.

Dipping into my Awesome barrel, may or may not be too awesome:

-Night's cauldron: replaces a SD's cauldron, generate shadows every IC day, up to 200

-a pound of flesh: generates x type of flesh every IC day.

-a...mine? of gems: does the same, but for institute gems.

-blah blah more damage typerunes: converts a weapon to do 1/3 asphyx/psychic/divinus/excorable damage. Latter two might need to cost more though.

-miniature rune: attach to make a miniature permanent, offering it reduces it back down to unenchanted/level 1 though.

Names, of course, are probably not appropriate.

Conical cone of coning! - lets anyone cone or cone equivalent at an astral node.

Tear of Marilynth- Necklace, converts X% of total damage to divinius.

Eye of Ladantine- Necklace, converts X% of total damage to excorable.

The Book of the Dead- allows holder to influence the undead.

Bhodifucius's Knot- Useable once per month. UNTIE the knot, and get a 1 hour DEX and INT bonus. CUT the knot for a 1 hour CHA and STR bonus. Or some other either-or bonus that makes sense. (inspired by the Gordian knot)

Diadem of Empty Thoughts- Allows the wearer to offer their esteem directly without imbuing.

Valor Emblem - When entering a room with aggressive mobiles while others are following you or already in the room, the emblem will draw them to attack you before anyone else. Does not affect org guards.

Aether Sonar - Syntax: EMPATH SONAR <#> - scans for the number of aetherbeasts inhabiting aetherspace in that direction, in a straight line, for up to 25 rooms. If a number is not specified, it will automatically scan to 25 rooms. Good for determining how many beasties might be in large clusters chasing you.

Brooch of the Maelstrom - Upgraded version of the Brooch of the Tempest, allows you to fly without natural wind blowing you around in the sky. Also allows you to fly from tree elevation and to ascend into places where it is normally too windy (mountains). Does not affect demesne spells designed to down flyers.

I really like that valor emblem...

Brooch of the Maelstrom would be nice, but I'd prefer to see it also give a 25% chance to block things that knock you down (ala Crowform).

Some of these items are really tempting!

I quite liked the idea I read before about a rune to attach to a figurine to keep it from being destroyed when offered but resets it to level 1 and 0 esteem again. Keeps me from having to remake Viygurine should he ever be used up. D:

Also, a blank rune/mote/tarot card artie that isn't consumed when you use it. Once you etch/inscribe/weave it, the item assumes that type forever. Makes it so that I only need 1 artie rad rune ever that doesn't get consumed when I use it.

Yay new toys.

The Key to the Gate.

Turn the key to be flung to a random room on Astral.

I think that a permit to add a new design pattern to an existing category would be a neat auction item. Like, say, getting a 'cocktail' pattern to Cooking spirits or maybe a 'blossom' pattern to Bookbinding origami designs. Whatever it is that a designer would want to add to the general pattern database that isn't already offered and pending Divine approval (so we don't get like, light sabers in Sword designs or something) for thematic appropriateness.

Speaking of permits (and double posts), I would like a permit to enable two adoptions to occur simultaneously for the owner. It's a long shot, but I really want it -hope-

Idea:
An item that allows the player to ignore day/night restrictions on when a particular defense can function/be raised. (So you could allow Drawdown/Nightkiss as well as Sun, Moon, and Night totems to be accessible at all times.)

There already is a manse artifact for this. The only thing that prevents Nightkiss/Drawdown with it is the phase of the moon (No Nightkiss at full moon, for instance).

Valor Emblem - When entering a room with aggressive mobiles while others are following you or already in the room, the emblem will draw them to attack you before anyone else. Does not affect org guards.


I actually really want this!

Ssaliss:

There already is a manse artifact for this. The only thing that prevents Nightkiss/Drawdown with it is the phase of the moon (No Nightkiss at full moon, for instance).

Pretty sure you can't raise Nightkiss/Drawdown during the day, nor do Night or Moon totems function during the day, nor Sun at night. The proposed item would allow all of those to function and be raised day and night.

If you're in a room with the manse artifact, you can. You can also use the drapes Artisans make to nightkiss during the day.

Oh, and the manse artifacts I'm talking about are these:

Yellow Orb (100 credits)
- Creates continual daylight in the room.
- One use only.
- Cannot be used in same room as a black orb.
- Use ACTIVATE MINIATURE.

Black Orb (100 credits)
- Creates continual darkness in the room.
- One use only.
- Cannot be used in same room as a yellow orb.
- Use ACTIVATE MINIATURE.

Oh, and just had another idea: How about an artifact that lowers your tolerance-loss by half (so if you don't drink anything for two RL days, it's like you only skipped one day).

Reclusive Mirror - Comes in sets, give one to your spouse or best friend, and be able to give things to that person through the mirror, and vice-versa

Mirror of Reality - Looking at the mirror reveals the room's true nature (free from illusions or melds) This doesn't affect the reality of the situation though.

Fan of growth - Fan a herb in the room to hasten it's growth a bit

Piercing of the demon - Wear it on the lips to speak a new language, only understandable by others that have the piercing. Wear it on your ear to understand the languages around you (like the illithoid ability), but you cannot speak it.

Personal Massager - An ability for denizens. Allow that denizen to give you a massage once per lusternian month, regenerating your endurance and willpower at a faster rate.

Influencer's guide book. - Wielding this book gives you the benefits of all of the runes of influencing, in one package.

Pendant of Power - gain 5 power (2.5% reserves) every IC day?

Door Paint? - paint this on two items, and be able to enter and exit that item to reach the other side. Just like you can enchant paintings, but now you can enter that closet and exit somewhere else.

Kisses of the Fates - Increases experience gain by quadruple the amount?

----
How about more guild related artifacts as well? We have the order ones, regular ones, why not things that boost your guild in one way or another - the flavor ones or something else.

Like: a golden satchel - When hunting in squads, a portion of gold will automatically be transferred to the squad leader's guild banks.

Whispers of Luck - Use once a month, only usable when there are 3 or more guild members in the same room, increases the experience gain like harvest does for the guild members.

----

Boots of ice - By freezing the ground before you, you can walk on any surface normally (if you manage to find yourself in the air for example, you can walk around normally - the seas's waves don't move you either)

Dagger of Rebirth - By stabbing a person in the back with this dagger, they will be summoned to you before they die.

Rod of Ages - Be able to shift your age as you wish, resets each lusternian month.

Catalyst ring - Wearers can high five each other, creating a shockwave in the room that causes fear to everyone but the wearers.

Gauntlet of Steel - slap or Backhand or bitchslap causes a small amount of damage to the target's ego, but takes balance.

Rune of (whatever) - Place the rune on an instrument, making minor second or the guild spec's equivalent take less equilibrium to cast.

Rune of Penetration- When fighting a denzin, you have a chance for your attack to go through the denzin's shield. (Blanknote a denzin, it pops the shield back up before you can regain equilibrium, this way you can attack it through the shield.)

Mallet of Force - By throwing the mallet in a direction, it magically gets larger and larger, moving all players in a direction with it till the end room. (for example, 3 rooms to the east. east 1 has 2 people, east 2 has 4 people, east 3 at 5 people. Throwing the mallet moves e 1 and e2 to e3.)

edit: where as the cooks can give increased and longer effects, why not an artifact that doubles the boost to +2 per stat? There isn't that many constitution buffs, or intelligence - compared to something like charisma.

These suggestions are nearly all over the top and either tottally OP/broken or useless...

EDIT: Or they already exist.

Influencers book would be cheaper than buying all of the runes combined, as a package deal. saves you the price of 1-2 runes maybe?

the golden satchel idea was an effort for more guild related artifacts. We have ones that tie you to an order for instance, but why not a guild?

Dagger of rebirth - the idea is that when you die, your soul or corpse will go back to the person who stabbed you, usable once a month maybe? Doesn't rezz you or anything, but brings your corpse faster.

Gauntlet of steel - for shiggles and wiggles. Had a backhanding bitchslapping thing going on a few days ago, posting that is a joke to the person.

Rune of (whatever) - the point is that it's an eternal sketch on an item, no need to wait for a tinkerer to sketch it, or have it wear off.

Rune of penetration - the idea is for denzin hunting. It would level the field a bit, with people being able to raze and hit in one go, and having the caster or bard races need to take a hit if they don't have a beast to attack again.

----

What about the mirror of reality? To be able to see what really is in the room but not affecting what actually is around you. I kind of liked that one.
or the personal massager, or a two way mirror that allows you to give and receive things to a friend?

Falcon:

"If anything can be abused, it will". This will only cause unnecessary griefing, and can be problematic in the hands of a stealth user (to make masks of corpses as they arrive).
