Enchanted Vial
Some creature parts have powerful, yet fleeting, magical
energies within them. The motes from elementals for
example hold traces of their former essences in them but
disperse rapidly upon the destruction of their original form.
An enchanted vial is inlaid with several runes designed
to keep any magical resource within from dissipating while
the lid is closed and is often the only way of transporting
certain parts back to a workshop for crafting.
Items that require an enchanted vial to be harvested are
fragile by nature and must be stored inside an enchanted
vial quickly to prevent degradation.
Any attempt to
harvest a material that has an enchanted vial as a
requirement must be initiated within 1 minute of the
death of its creature.
Spirit Paper
Spirit paper is a versatile tool that resembles a square of
bleached papyrus. The secrets of its production were only
recently discovered, and reverse engineered from secrets
brought back from distant necromantic cults. By
performing a small ritual with the spirit paper shortly after
slaying certain creatures, a copy of that creature’s soul is
bound to the spirit paper for later use. These copies are not
a true soul and are more akin to an echo. These echoes do
retain all of the memories from its original body, and a few
crafting techniques utilise these echoes to grant an item a
low level of sentience or to mimic the abilities of their
incorporeal reflections.
Using spirit paper is often the only way to harvest
anything useful from creatures with incorporeal forms. Any
harvesting attempt made for a creature part that has spirit
paper as a requirement is done using a Wisdom (Religion)
check rather than the usual check and is rolled separately
for each item. Once a sheet of spirit paper has been used
successfully to harvest an item, it cannot be reused, even if
the item it contained is released.
Unlike most harvestable materials, materials that require
spirit paper to be harvested dissipate very quickly after the
death of its creature.
Any attempt to harvest a material that
has spirit paper as a requirement must be initiated within 1
minute of the death of the creature and takes 10
minutes to successfully complete.
