A large wooden jar

Minor arcanum #35

cumbersomefragilemagical

30 inches tall and carved of yew, with a lid shaped like a horned lion and sealed with wax. Its surface is cracked and speared with shards of red crystal. When you touch it, you can feel great annoyance and just a hint of fear.

To unlock the jar’s mysteries, you must…

If the jar is opened, all its magic is lost.

Requirements

  • …wash its surface with your own fresh blood (lose 1d10 HP and mark a debility).
  • …commune with the spirit of the haughty Green Lord to whom this jar is bound.
  • …learn to use the red crystals to torment the Green Lord’s spirit.
  • …convince the bound Green Lord spirit to change your form.

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.
