Price 5 gp

While most residents of—and travelers to—the Five Kings Mountains live underground, a significant number of people explore the regions' awe-inspiring peaks. Among their many discoveries on Emperor's Peak is a deposit of rainbow-colored rock crystal quartz with inherent magical properties that aid in survival, especially in the mountains. Dwarven artisans fashion chunks of this translucent quartz into fashionable bracelets.

Wearing such a bracelet grants you a +1 item bonus to Survival checks to Sense Direction and Subsist. This bonus increases to +3 when in mountainous terrain. If you attempt a Survival check to Subsist after 8 hours or less of exploration, you take only a –2 penalty instead of a –5 penalty.

Traits

Uncommon

Something of uncommon rarity requires special training or comes from a particular culture or part of the world. Some character choices give access to uncommon options, and the GM can choose to allow access for anyone. Less is known about uncommon creatures than common creatures. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creature is increased by 2.

Invested

A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn't invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical

Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
