So, lets preface this a little. My original plan for the winner of this competition was to grant the winner a monetary amount to go shopping off the Price List to buy their own place free and clear and call it an 'inheratance'. They could have purchased a small Inn, a shop, anything like that with the amount I was planning.
However, you folks selected a Dominion Mage for the winner. That threw a major chink in my plan because well... Ialari makes her own homes in her dominion and she can control the temperature and well everything about the reality in a dominion... so that would be almost a boobie prize.
So... I had to come up with a quest item. Here it is!
The Lightbender.
Made of a Velispar skin that shimmers with dark golds, greens, purples, and a multitude of jewel tones, this iridescent crop top has been around for a couple of thousand year. Thought to be lost, it has been recently discovered in the ruins of Pavena, where it had been carelessly placed on display in Pavena's old library building now called Reclaimed Knowledge.
Shavita, a female velispar who was very closely associated with Priskil, lived for many many years and passed peacefully from the world of old age. The Lightbender is just one of the many many items that were made from her skin, which she donated to a champion of Priskil who was also a magecrafter and master armor mage back when such folks were common.
Little is known about Shavita's other items, but the Lightbender was common knowledge in Pavena's height and thus the library ghost is well versed in its history. Recounting what she knows, Talia Zakala the ghostly librarian, will recount how Myrna received the Lightbender from her brother Marcus as a gift. She wore it often, except on that fatal day she vanished offworld. Most of her things were donated to the library as decorations to honor Myrna in a display within it's hallowed halls.
The Lightbender does exactly what it's name implies. It shields the wearer in a magical aura that bends light making the wearer appear to be displaced in random directions. This makes hitting the wearer harder in combat, and indeed makes it easier for the wearer to hit an opponent in battle because the opponent is often dodging a blow that comes from an unexpected place.
When combat is not occurring, the Lightbender is inactive. It just appears as a lovely crop top that doesn't show wear or dirt.
In game terms, the Lightbearer will add +25 to any dice roll where the PC wearing the Lightbearer rolls (1d100+their skill) to hit and subtracts -25 from any opponents dice roll (1d100+their skill) in opposition.
