A corroded spearhead
Minor arcanum #47
Hidden away in some vault or cave or Maker-ruin is a length of copper, heavily corroded and coated with chunks of verdigris. If you squint, you vaguely make out the shape of a spearhead. Oh, and are those the faint traces of runes?
To unlock the secrets of this ancient weapon, you must…
Requirements
- ☐ …carefully clean away the corrosion with proper chemics, without destroying the runes as you do so.
- ☐ …decipher the runes and how they are meant to be charged.
- ☐ …infuse the restored spearhead with lightning.
- ☐ …mount the spearhead on a shaft of birchwood.
- ☐ …soak the spearhead in your own blood, to claim its power as yours.
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.
