A cloak, richly embroidered

Minor arcanum #29

magicalwarm

An exquisitly fine wool, dyed a pale blue-gray and embroidered with stylized clouds. The edge boasts blue-white runes stitched with aetherium wire. It feels damp, smells of rain and ozone, and flutters in a breeze that isn’t there.

When you don the cloak, you become aware of the presence bound within, thrumming and impatient. To unlock the mysteries of the cloak, you must...

Requirements

  • …learn the name of the bound spirit.
  • …decipher the word of command, embroidered in ancient Maker-script.
  • …bend the spirit to your will, risking its (destructive) escape.

The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.

Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
