Aura moderate Mind; CL 6th
Slot none; Price 56,000 gp; Weight 12 lbs.

This ornate, handheld harp is decorated with carvings of fey creatures singing, and creatures up to 100 feet away can always hear it clearly regardless of other sounds. When first picked up by a creature with experience playing instruments, it may shapeshift into an instrument with their preferred shape and size. In addition to acting as a masterwork tool (granting a +2 circumstance bonus to relevant Perform checks), the balladeer is a +2 Mind implement that grants the Mind sphere Inspiration (charm) talent. As a standard action, a creature holding this item can give allies the effects of the Mind sphere Recommend^JHB (charm)’s greater version at caster level 4. This effect lasts for 4 minutes.

Awakening Effect: This implement becomes a +5 Mind implement that grants the Mind sphere’s Courage (charm) and Inspiration (charm) talents. In addition, its bonus on perform checks increases to a +10 circumstance bonus, and its wielder can target any number of allies with the charms granted by this implement as long as those allies can hear it being played.

Cleric’s wards are sacred relics often used by churches in dangerous regions. These +1 Fate implements have the Undo Harm (consecration) talent, and churches often have acolytes or priests hold and use them to continually support warriors fighting on the front lines. Many cleric’s wards are also holy symbols. While not as favored among experienced adventurers, who take and deal far more damage than a cleric’s ward can handle, many new adventurers and local guards have been saved by these wards more than once.

Aura faint Life; CL 3rd
Slot varies; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Cursebreakers take many forms, including holy books, bells, and the favored weapon of a deity. These +1 Life implements include the Break Enchantment talent, allowing them to suppress or remove curses and many magical effects that have a duration. Churches in areas plagued by curses often have at least one of these tools in their back room, while adventurers occasionally bring them out on trips to help protect their friends. Cursebreakers rarely have more than a +1 enhancement because only the caster’s actual skill can help break curses, rather than their power with the Life sphere.

Craft Implement Of Power, Life sphere (Break Enchantment); Cost 9,000 gp

Aura faint Warp; CL 3rd
Slot neck; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Dimensional blockers are +1 Warp implements with the Plane Manipulator (space) talent, often brought to situations where people suspect interference by outsiders or other creatures capable of teleporting away.

Aura moderate Destruction and Nature; CL 8th
Slot chest; Price 38,400 gp; Weight —

Additionally, once per day the wearer can transform themselves into a tree; they can become up to 1 size larger or smaller and lose the ability to take any physical actions but can still think and observe the world around them. They gain hardness 5 and take half damage from energy attacks but gain no increased hit points. They can remain a tree for up to 8 hours at a time, but can return to their normal form as a move action; being a tree for 8 hours counts as resting for the purpose of regaining spell points and other benefits, although the tree-character remains conscious the entire time.

Aura faint Destruction; CL 3rd
Slot hands; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Aura moderate Destruction; CL 9th
Slot wrists; Price 16,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description
These bracers have a projection point just under the wearer’s palms, allowing them to grab strands of coherent energy. While wearing the energy grapple, the wearer gains access to the Energy Tether (blast shape) talent and the Tether Adept feat.

If the Energy Tether talent is already possessed, the wearer instead gains the bounding tether mystic combat ability, even if possessing no kinetic scourge levels. If both the Energy Tether talent and the Tether Adept feat are possessed, the wearer gains the bounding tether and dual tether mystic combat abilities. Unlike most implements, these do not grant an enhancement bonus to a sphere.

These fingerless white leather gloves are usually form fitting, and slip on with ease.

Aura moderate Alteration; CL 6th; SP 1
Slot none; Price 17,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs.

This dark indigo book is covered in a strange, somewhat squishy material. This grimoire functions as a +2 Alteration implement that also works as a spell engine containing the Telekinesis sphere and the Divided Mind and Powerful Telekinesis talents. The telekinesis effects from this grimoire take the visual appearance of thick purple tendrils coming out of portals to grasp and move things. The implement and spell engine effects of this item must be upgraded separately and do not share a caster level.

Awakening Effect: This grimoire becomes a +5 Alteration and Conjuration implement, and its spell engine effect upgrades to caster level 20, gaining up to two talents and five additional spell points. If the spell engine has already been upgraded, it receives fewer benefits, such that it will not exceed the normal limit of upgrades a spell engine can have.

Construction Requirements

Aura faint Life; CL 3rd

This +1 Life implement looks like a giant tube with a plunger on one side and a sharp needle on the other. In addition to its functions as an implement, the healer’s staff also functions as a flask of the dawn (see Marvelous Items), except that it can directly inject the healing serum into targets if the wielder makes a successful melee attack with the healer’s staff (this does no damage to the target).

Mass appeals come in various shapes and sizes, but share one thing in common: They are all +1 implements with a mass talent for their associated sphere, giving bearers the ability to use powers on more targets at the same time. Though a bit expensive, casters mindful of the limits of their knowledge occasionally craft or acquire several of these and wear them across their body to augment their abilities.

Description
These Large-sized and larger, upright standing stones mark areas of great importance and are commonly enchanted by members of the nature community such as druids, nymphs, shamans and treants. Like implements, every standing stone is associated with a base sphere, which the crafter must possess in order to create the standing stone, either on their own or through another caster. The standing stone usually has an enhancement bonus ranging from +1 to +5.

When standing adjacent to the standing stone and using a sphere ability from the stone’s base sphere, the caster adds the standing stone’s enhancement bonus as a temporary increase to their caster level for that ability. You may only benefit from one menhir at a time. Unlike other implements, this applies not only to magic used by the caster herself, but also to spell engines or other magic items the caster is wielding. Menhir normally do not function unless the standing stone is in contact with the earth, and if moved does not function until placed in a single location for 24 hours.

A menhir’s weight is 5,000 lbs. (Large, enhancement bonus +1 or +2), 10 tons (Huge, enhancement bonus +3 or +4), or 50 tons (Gargantuan, enhancement bonus +5).

Menhir, Greater (Trilithon): A trilithon (or trilith), is a magical structure consisting of two vertical menhir of the same size (posts) supporting a third menhir set horizontally across the top (lintel). The three menhir that make up the trilithon must all share an association with the same base sphere. When standing adjacent to a trilithon and using a sphere ability from the shared stone’s base sphere, the caster only gains the enhancement bonus from the weakest menhir of the trio to that sphere effect.

In addition, the caster gains two temporary talents from the stone’s base sphere (chosen at the beginning of any turn the caster begins adjacent to the trilithon). Unlike with most temporary talents, effects created with the trilithon does not end when the caster loses these talents. A caster may only benefit from one trilithon at a time. Unlike implements, this applies not only to magic used by the caster herself, but also to spell engines or other magic items the caster is wielding. Trilithon, like menhir, normally do not function unless the two posts are in contact with the earth.

A trilithon’s base price is equal to the total cost of the three menhir that make it up. To create a trilithon, one must simply place two menhir standing adjacent to each other, placing a third horizontally across the top.

Construction Requirements
Craft Implement Of Power, any base sphere; Cost 2,500 gp (+1), 10,000 gp (+2), 22,500 gp (+3), 40,000 gp (+4), 62,500 gp (+5) gp

Aura strong Death; CL 15th
Slot slotless; Price 98,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

The murderer’s wand is a slender stick usually made of bone and must be held to be used. This +5 Death implement includes the Killing Curse talent, imbuing the user’s ghost strikes with the ability to outright kill foes who fail too many saves against them. Murderer’s wands are illegal in most regions, though the fact that it is usually only extremely powerful necromancers who craft them means local authorities often have a hard time preventing people from using them.

Slot shoulders; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

Despite their unassuming appearance, these +1 Death implements include the Greater Reanimate talent, improving the total Hit Dice a creature can reanimate by 1 per caster level. This item does not allow you to exceed the limit on the number of times you may take Greater Reanimate. Rumors exist of greater versions of these shawls that can grant even an apprentice necromancer the power to raise far more undead than these shawls do.

Slot none; Price 135,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

This +3 Destruction implement contains the Sculpt Blast (blast shape) talent, allowing its wielder a significant measure of control over the space they attack.

Aura moderate Illusion and Light; CL 6th
Slot none; Price 37,000 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

This +2 Illusion and Light implement looks like a white crystal staff surrounded by a perpetual aura of prismatic colors, and it increases the light level in the wielder’s square(s) by one step, to a maximum of normal light, while held. This implement also functions as a normal solar metamagic apparatus^TS, and effects cast when using that effect have a distinctive prismatic shine to them.

Awakening Effect: The staff of prismatic light becomes a +5 erudite Illusion and Light implement that also provides the effects of the Prismatic Light (advanced, light), Searing Light (light), and Style talents of the Light sphere. If the wielder already possesses those talents, they may immediately retrain them.

Construction Requirements
Craft Implement Of Power, Craft Apparatus, Solar Spell, Illusion sphere, Light sphere; Cost 18,500 gp

Aura strong Weather; CL 20th
Slot none; Price 200,000 gp; Weight 100 lbs.

Description
This staff is carved from ancient wood, petrified with age until it is almost stone. The staff itself is supernaturally heavy; simply holding it and carrying it can be incredibly difficult. For those who can bear its weight and speak its command word, however, they find that an entire world's worth of energy appears to be stored within it.

The staff of sands and storms is a +5 Weather implement in any hands, but it also holds up to 10 charges within it; the staff can be recharged at a rate of one charge per day by a caster holding it and spending a spell point. As a standard action its wielder can speak a command word to expend one charge, tapping into and unleashing the writhing energy stored inside the staff. Upon doing so, the staff unleashes a 1,200-foot cone of severity level 7 weather of either Cold, Heat, Precipitation, or Wind (wielder’s choice), which persists for 20 minutes, and cannot be combined with talents such as Storm Lord that add effects to the wielder’s created weather. However, this extreme weather counts as a use of control weather with a caster level and MSB of 20 and an MSD of 31 for the purposes of battling for control with another caster.

A staff of sands and storms can be used for a retributive strike, requiring it to be broken by its wielder as a standard action. (This purposeful breaking does not require a Strength check.) The weather within 1,200 feet of the staff becomes severity level 7 Precipitation, Wind, and either Cold or Heat (50% chance of either) for 1 hour, and all creatures and objects within 2 squares of the broken staff take an amount of electricity damage equal to 20 x the number of charges in the implement. Creatures and objects 3 or 4 squares away take an amount of electricity damage equal to 15 x the number of charges, and those 5 or 6 squares away take an amount of electricity damage equal to 10 x the number of charges. All those affected can attempt DC 17 Reflex saves to reduce the damage by half.

The character breaking the staff has a 50% chance of traveling to another plane of existence (01—50 on a d%), but if she does not, the explosive release of spell energy instantly destroys her. Only certain items, including the staff of the magi and the staff of power, are capable of being used for a retributive strike.

Construction Requirements
Craft Implement Of Power, Weather sphere (Cold Lord (advanced), Heat Lord (advanced), Rain Lord (advanced), Wind Lord (advanced)); Cost 100,000 gp

Aura moderate Conjuration; CL 9th
Slot none; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

Description
This +1 Conjuration implement contains a single invisible servant inside it that can be summoned as a standard action. This servant has an indefinite duration, and can be called and dismissed (also a standard action) as much as desired. The servant is a companion from the Conjuration sphere with no (form) talents and indeed cannot gain any. The invisible servant will perform services for the wielder of the staff, but it refuses to fight and will dismiss itself if ever asked to perform any dangerous task (fighting, stealing, or other such behaviors).

Additionally, the invisible servant has a terrible attitude, and will subtly mock and insult the wielder of the staff at every opportunity.

Construction Requirements
Craft Implement Of Power, Conjuration sphere, Illusion sphere (Suppression (glamer)); Cost 9,000 gp

Slot ring; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Construction Requirements
Craft Implement Of Power, Telekinesis sphere (Increased Range [range]); Cost 9,000 gp

Aura strong War; CL 12th
Slot none; Price 98,000 gp; Weight 8 lbs.

Wizard’s foes are +3 Mana implements with the Ignition (expunge) talent, which allows their users to both damage their foes and destroy their spell points. These implements are rarely seen with a lower enhancement bonus because +3 is the minimum to guarantee improved damage with the Ignition talent… and, of course, users normally want to maximize their chances of burning off a foe’s power. A wizard’s foe must be held to be used.

Long ago, a powerful demon forged this staff with a portion of its being, hoping to convert their servants in their image. The staff worked too well, as the demon found themselves placed under the staff ’s own magics before the staff was lost to great wars and strife. The legend of the staff warns that the four-legged fiend stalks the shadows in search of this item, seeking to break its influence.

Aura overwhelming Alteration; CL 23rd
Slot none; Weight 4 lbs.

Description
This staff is laden with numerous runes written in the abyssal-dialect of Nyanspeak, each amplifying the wielder’s transformative magics. This staff functions as a +5 capacitance Alteration sphere implement; the capacitance implement special ability may only be used to store Alteration sphere effects.

Whenever the wielder casts an Alteration sphere effect using this staff, the wielder may augment the effect as though they possessed the Greater Changes, Mass Alteration, and Ranged Alteration talents. The capacitance implement special ability may be used to store Alteration sphere effects for an unlimited amount of time instead of dissipating after 1 minute.

This staff’s unique functionality allows it to serve as a magical wellspring. As a standard action, the staff may be placed upright with a command word, becoming anchored to the location as though using the Telekinesis sphere Affix advanced talent, except the staff cannot be moved by any amount of force. While anchored, the staff begins to slowly drip water as if it were a fountain or spring, filling any basin or container below it or flowing naturally if able. The staff never produces enough water to flood or harm the surroundings, but continuously drips this fresh, drinkable water until it is unanchored from its location with the same command word. Any creature which drinks from this water regularly over an extended period of time (generally 3 days or more) develops feline traits, such as cat ears, a cat’s tail, paws, claws, and other cat-like features, as they are transformed by the staff’s powerful transfigurative magics. This is an instantaneous effect, granting a creature real changes to their physical form subject to GM discretion (treat these changes as though gaining catfolk racial traits, alternative racial traits, feats with catfolk as a prerequisite, or other appropriate effects). If a creature continues to drink from this spring, they may irreversibly transform into a cat.

Destruction
The Cantonyan Spring may be returned to the demon who created it, although his true name and whereabouts are often unknown. Word of extensive use of the staff often spreads, and will attract the demon’s attention.

If reunited with the staff, the demon will speak an ancient word of power, causing the staff to crumble to ash and returning the demon to their original form.

Slot none; Price 128,000 gp; Weight 4 lbs.
This brightly-covered, friendly-looking book contains a series of mind-shattering paradoxes that can threaten the intellects of any who read them and start thinking about them. In addition to offering delightful bedtime reading material, this tome functions as a +4 Mind implement with the Mind sphere Confusion (charm) and Insanity (mind) talents. A mythic creature using this implement may expend one use of mythic power while activating the Insanity (mind) talent, or as a standard action, to suppress all negative mind-affecting effects on allies within 60 feet for 1 round per tier; if this requires a magic skill check, the caster may add double their tier to their MSB when attempting this check. Time spent suppressed counts against the duration of effects that only work for a set amount of time, while otherwise-permanent effects are removed as if by a miracle or wish spell.

A mythic creature wielding this staff may store an extra talent with Knowledge Drain at 1st, 3rd, and 6th tiers, and may pay one mythic power per extra talent stored to retain knowledge of drained talents for an additional 24 hours (rather than paying spell points, as is normal). When talents are held with mythic power, this staff also counts as an implement of its regular bonus for any sphere those talents are a part of.

While wielding this implement, the caster may spend a spell point as an immediate action to grant spell resistance to himself and all friendly creatures within 30 feet against a single spell or sphere ability. The resistance then ends. The value of this spell resistance is equal to the Protection caster level of the wielder + 10.

Aura moderate Protection; CL 10th; Craft Implement Of Power, Protection sphere; Cost +3 bonus

Aura strong War; CL 15th; Craft Implement Of Power, War sphere; Cost +3 bonus

This special ability may only be applied to any handheld magic item, including weapons, shields, or implements. An attendant item springs to hand when you send for it. As a swift action you can call for an attendant item, and if it is within 50 feet it attempts to leaps to your hand. If it is currently held by another creature or trapped or bound in some way it fails to arrive, though it can extricate itself from a backpack or sheathe. You must possess an attendant item for at least 24 hours before you can use this function, and only one creature can have the ability to use this function at a time.

Aura moderate Blood; CL 10th; Craft Implement Of Power, Blood sphere; Cost +2 bonus

You may cast sphere effects into this implement, storing them for a short time before discharging them simultaneously. This casting spends any spell points required at the time it is performed. You may cast sphere effects into the implement with total spell point cost not exceeding the implement’s enhancement bonus and total caster level not exceed three times your caster level (use the highest caster level for the effects stored if you have multiple caster levels). Once an effect is cast into the implement, it dissipates harmlessly after 1 minute. All stored effects may be released as a 1 round action, choosing targets for each stored effect individually within the parameters of that effect.

Aura faint Divination — CL 6th
Slot any, see text — Price +1 bonus

This special ability can be applied to a suit of armor, weapon, shield, or implement.

When an informing item is first created, its creator chooses one skill sphere. An informing item increases the chosen sphere’s save DC by an amount equal to the item’s permanent enhancement bonus (maximum +5). This increase also applies to the sphere’s associated skill ranks when determining its effects (this excludes its save DC and its check modifier). This increase only applies to the base effects and talents of that sphere.

If a sphere ability grants the ability to command subordinates or similar creatures (such as Faction sphere retainers or Tinker sphere mechanoids), this effective skill rank improvement does not increase the Hit Dice or the user's maximum number of controlled Hit Dice of creatures that can be maintained through those effects. Instead, such creatures gain a bonus to attack rolls and skill checks equal to the enhancement bonus provided by the object.

An item can gain this enhancement multiple times, choosing an additional sphere each time.

This special ability may only be applied to a Death sphere implement.

Aura faint Death; CL 4th; Craft Implement Of Power, Death sphere (Necrotic Feeding (ghost strike)); Cost +1 bonus

Any caster wielding the implement gains access to a magic talent contained within the implement. If this talent is a (form) Conjuration talent, it may be applied to any companion the caster summons, but no more than one creature at any given time. To contain an advanced talent, an implement needs a minimum caster level equal to that talent’s prerequisite caster level, and must contain all of that talent’s prerequisite talents. An implement may gain this special ability multiple times.

Author's Note: This implement ability can grant base spheres as a bonus talent. A base sphere granted this way does not include any drawbacks. A base sphere granted this way does not grant someone the ability to cast sphere effects if they could not already.

Aura as sphere; CL 5th; Craft Implement Of Power, see below; Cost: +2 bonus

The crafter must have access to the magic talent to be included, either on their own or through another caster. The talent must belong to the implement’s base sphere. A caster wielding the implement counts as possessing that magic talent when meeting the prerequisites for creating other magic items.

When casting a spell or sphere effect to which the implement’s enhancement bonus applies, the wielder adds twice the implement’s enhancement bonus as an enhancement bonus to concentration checks relating to that spell or sphere effect.

Aura faint Mind; CL 5th; Craft Implement Of Power, Mind sphere (Powerful Charm); Cost +1,000 gp

While wielding an implement with this benefit, a caster with access to the Mind sphere gains access to a gaze attack capable of affecting creatures within close range.

At first this gaze attack does nothing apart from making others who meet your gaze feel unsettled (an effect that those with the Subtlety talent may suppress if they choose). This effect can be suppressed or resumed as a free action. The gaze attack’s effect can shift to be that of any lesser or greater charm from the Mind sphere that the implement’s wielder possesses as a talent; shifting the gaze to a lesser charm can be done indefinitely (though it does not change the fact that a creature can only usually be affected by any given caster’s lesser charms once per day).

Shifting the gaze attack to a greater charm costs 1 spell point, and the effect lasts for 1 round per point of casting ability modifier (at which point the wielder must either pay another spell point, shift to a different ability, or end the ability as a free action).

Aura faint Mind; CL 9th; Craft Implement Of Power, Mind sphere (Mass Charm, Project Thoughts (charm)); Cost +3 bonus

This special ability may only be applied to a Death sphere implement.

When casting a ghost strike sphere effect, the wielder of a reaving implement may choose to have that ghost strike tear away at their victim’s life force. A creature who fails their saving throw against a ghost strike augmented by this implement suffers an amount of negative energy damage equal to two times the reaving implement’s enhancement bonus.

The negative energy damage caused by a greater reaving implement festers as cursed wounds that resist natural and magical healing. This damage cannot be healed except by magical healing and the caster or source of the healing must succeed at a magic skill check with a DC equal to 10 + 3 times the greater reaving implement’s enhancement bonus or the healing has no effect on the injured creature. Add up and combine the damage from a greater reaving implement and treat it as a single cursed wound when attempting to heal and remove the damage.

A specialized implement is more powerful against a specific category of targets. Choose either objects or a single creature type from the ranger’s favored enemy list. Against targets of the chosen type, the saving throw DCs of any effect whose caster level is improved by the implement’s caster level bonus increases by 1.

Any class feature which could apply the bane special ability to a weapon can also apply the specialized special ability to an implement provided that the ability can be used to target implements.

This special ability may only be applied to an implement of the Telekinesis sphere.

You may delegate a telekinetic effect to a sustaining implement. This effect works like the Sustained Force use of telekinesis, except that you do not need to spend a spell point, and your implement may only sustain a single effect at a time. If you delegate concentration to your implement while it is already sustaining a telekinetic effect, the previous effect ceases and all lifted objects are released.

This implement may absorb a single wand of a sphere to which its enhancement bonus applies as a standard action. The wand may also be removed as a standard action. While absorbed, the implement’s wielder is treated as wielding this wand and the implement’s enhancement bonus applies to the wand’s caster level. This only applies to implements that are wielded; pieces of equipment or slotless items given implement special abilities cannot gain this benefit.
