Item & Enchantment Record
Commission Work
Scale Arcanum (Redcap)
The Scale Arcanum consists of a wool-lined, plain oak box containing a small but finely made brass merchant's scale with two hanging weigh-pans. It also includes a brass weight set consisting of a 1-pennyweight, two 2-pennyweights, a 5-pennyweight, and a 10-pennyweight, which allows the scale to measure up to one tower ounce. While perfectly useable as a mundane scale, if a vis-containing item is placed in either of the pans, the scale will translate the vis to exactly 1-pennyweight per pawn. In addition, the vis-item will begin to softly glow in accordance with its type. A color-rule is provided in the box to allow for consistent identification. The actual enchantment lies in the inlaid granite needle which marks the "balanced" state.

Created with 3 vis, sold for 10 pawns of vis
Scale Arcanum (Covenant)

Pen of the Unseen Scribe
Consisting of a single sliver of soapstone ornately carved into the shape stylus, this device is able to write on its own, recording what is said. This does not allow the magi to create notes any faster but does write them out fully in the standard language being spoken. Any laboratory notes made this way are created in a "translated" state. Joshua has created three for the covenant, and an additional one for his personal use.

Umbral Weapons (3)
A silver banded quartz crystal which is embedded into a melee weapon to allow it to strike at ghostly forms and cut away their might.

Intertwined Tablets
A large wax tablet whose wooden frame had been enlayed with magnetite and silver. Each of the three tablets created at the same time has an arcane link to each other.

One of these tablets is kept in the Autocrat's office, one has been sent to Veronica's tower, and the third is slated to head to the Roman Town. This allows for instantaneous communication between the far flung outposts of the Covenent.
- ReAn 18 (Base 1, Arcane +4, Sun +2, Continuous +3lv)

Personal Enchantments
Record of the items enchanted for Joshua's own use or as gifts.
Ring of Transport
A ring formed in the shape of a silver arrow twisted around the finger, with the point enlayed with opal. By holding the ring against an object with an arcane connection and stating the incanting word, the wearer is instantly transported to the far end of that connection. This particular ring has been keyed to Ruth, so as to keep her from being warped by its use. The ring's power may be used up to six times per day. The magic is not completely fixed, and the enchantment will fade in 70 years (1301).
- ReCo 38
- -1 Rego vis, -1 Corpus vis
Wizard's Cog

Muted Tumbler
A small iron-lined oak barrel with a polished stone lid. Reduces any sound produced from within the barrel to no more than a level of a bubbling creek or low conversation.

Longevity Rituals
Record of the time & vis spent on longevity rituals

Seasonal Activities
1220
Winter: Joshua moves into the ground floor of the Lapus Lazuli Tower and sets up his lab, concentrating on moving his family into the living areas, and assembling the basic laboratory equipment for the interior spaces. When not working on the lab, he spent some time in communication with his old Patar on Parma Magica.
(Exposure: Magic Theory +2xp for lab setup; Correspondence: Parma Magica +1xp; Language: Middle English +1xp)
Spring: Joshua continues to set up his laboratory, including several of the more delicate and complex arrangements and a small lapidary's desk in one corner. He considers plans to expand the laboratory slightly off the back to provide a superior working studio. He also spent some time communicating about Corpus with Desiderius of Verditius, who they ran into during a dispute at Merlin's well. Joshua's wife Ruth begins working in the mundane library as a way to pass the time while not needed at home.
(Exposure: Magic Theory +2xp for lab setup; Correspondence: Corpus +1xp; Language: Welsh +1xp)
Summer: Joshua considers the creation of a new item for the covenant, and realizes a sapphire would be the best stone to use. He realizes, however, he has never opened a precious gem before, only semi-precious. As such, he begins a study of Magic Theory to ensure he can open it correctly. He continued his correspondence with Desiderius on Corpus. With many of her home duties unnecessary due to her husband’s position and the nature of the covenant, Ruth accepts the Autocrat’s appointment as librarian.
(Ab Uno Disce Omnes (Magic Theory) +15xp; Correspondence: Corpus +1; Language: Middle English +1)
Autumn: Now more confident of his abilities, Joshua takes the time to craft and open the sapphire acquired by the autocrat for this purpose. Three months and a Rook of Vim Vis later, he is successful. He also continues his correspondence.
(Exposure: Craft (Gemcutting) +2xp; Correspondence: Corpus +1xp; Language: Welsh +1xp; Area Lore: Melverley +2xp)
1221
Winter: Finishing what he started, Joshua spends this season enchanting the open sapphire with its first two abilities: ‘’Sense the Nature of Vis’’ and ‘’Scale of Magical Weight’’. This focus also turns his correspondence to the subject of vim.
(Exposure: Philosophie +2xp; Correspondence: Vim +1xp; Language: Middle English +1xp; +2 Area Lore: Nova Semitae)
Spring: Freed of his covenant service for the probationary period, Joshua finally finds himself free to read from the exceptional library available to the Magi of Nova Semitae. Still influenced by his Pater, who emphasized the value of Technique over Forms, Joshua decides to start by studying Non Sum Qualis Eram.
(Study: Muto +15xp; Correspondence: Vim +1xp; Language: Welsh +1xp)
Summer: Much of his laboratory now covered with notes and experiments in Muto magic, Joshua continued to study from Non Sum Qualis Eram. Inspired by what he's read, he begins corresponding with his Pater about the laboratory implications.

(Exposure: Vim +2xp; Correspondence: Vim +1xp; Language: Welsh +1xp)
Summer: Joshua attends the tribunal, mostly attending the small colloquium, though making sure to stop to talk with Aurelia of Nigrasaxa about her idea of a Verditius Regional Contest. He makes friends with a recently gauntletted mage who is studying Forms - the two keep in correspondence.

(Study: Philosophiae +13xp; Adventure: +5 Faerie Lore; Correspondence: Craft (Metal) +1xp; Language: Middle English +1xp)

Creation Notes
Just a couple of notes:
- I combined Civil and Canon Law into one skill, as it is in Ars Magica; also corrected it from "Cannon" law. :)
- I changed your Canon Law (Jewish) to Rabbinical Law, to align with how Ars Magica does skills. This is distinct from the Jewish (Organization) Lore skill (which covers history, politics, personalities of Jews in an area), the philosophical underpinnings of Judaism (that'd be the Theology (Judaism) skill), or the supernatural aspects of the Divine (that's Dominion Lore). Yes, knowing everything about God is a lot of skills. :)
- As the only Gifted character with children (at least for now), we should check your kids against step 1 on the Gifted Children House Rules
- As you have the True Love minor flaw, your wife would be a Companion-level character (though not one played by you). What do you envision her being, that she's relatively formidable for a mundane? Also, since you don't have the Gentle Gift, how has she dealt with your Gift? Has she known you for your whole life? (It takes about 15 years to grow accustomed to the effects of the Gift for a particular magus.)
- Add 'Speak Arabic 4' as part of the Baseline Skills adjustments.
Advancement 1220/1221:
- For the seasons Joshua is enchanting, he earns Exposure XP in the lab. This can be in Magic Theory (always applicable) or any other Art or Skill he's using that season. For the opening season, this could be Craft. For the enchanting season, it could be Intellego, Vim, Craft, Philosophiae, or Magic Theory. Mark 04:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
