| As anyone in the know will be aware the College of the Stars is currently embroiled in a class action suit brought by the merchant guilds who once owned warehouses in the district now occupied by a vast jade cube that occasionally exudes unfathomable horrors. In its defense the College has fallen back on the 'Quirk' defense that it cannot be held liable for the actions of rogue wizards. However, in a partial admission of liability it has put out a call for adventures to help remedy the problem. Interested, reliable and responsible candidates are asked to present themselves to Prof. Black at the College three days hence. | As anyone in the know will be aware the College of the Stars is currently embroiled in a class action suit brought by the merchant guilds who once owned warehouses in the district now occupied by a vast jade cube that occasionally exudes unfathomable horrors.

| They are returned to Acryn to find themselves in a flattened urban wasteland that until recently was under the giant cube, which is now once more a small jade puzzle-box. Professor Black is most grateful and pays the party for their efforts and introduces Logan to the principal of college who gives him a minor lectureship in scribing magic. Glassinger meanwhile meditates on the dragon's eye and in return for his service is taught the first 'syllable' of a great spell, one fragment of which, his new master assures him, is known by each of the Dragon's. Perhaps this is the legendary Song of Ruin his family have searched for for generations. Certainly when he speaks it at the facade of the temple of the builder it unleashes calamitous ruin and it is only with Vulstragorn's malfunctioning pair of dubiously useful 'Seven League Boots' that he is able to flee the city watch. | They are returned to Acryn to find themselves in a flattened urban wasteland that until recently was under the giant cube, which is now once more a small jade puzzle-box.

| - | * Knowledge of Vulstragorn's arcane technique to infuse use a soul with enough power to fill and merge with a self-contained reality. It requires truly vast amounts of arcane energy to affect the change, Vulstragorn himself only just pulled it off and it seems his transformation was imperfect, requiring the existence of an anchor to the world: the green puzzle-box. | + | * Knowledge of Vulstragorn's arcane technique to infuse use a soul with enough power to fill and merge with a self-contained reality. It requires truly vast amounts of arcane energy to affect the change, Vulstragorn himself only just pulled it off and it seems his transformation was imperfect, requiring the existence of an anchor to the world: the green puzzle-box...Harlon might be able to do better. Harlon surmises the process is somewhat like the infusing of power into his soul that made him a primal, but on a scale that allows the soul to fill an entire dimension, which explains the seemingly godlike ability Vulstragorn possesses in his realm. |

However, having willing given himself over to the dominion of the Dragon his use of magic is highly vulnerable to manipulation from the Dragon. Rituals in particular will have a habit of being twisted by the Dragon's designs. | + | * Has become a vessel for the power of Carlaeon and can take the Arcane Curse epic tree.

| + | * His dark master has taught him the first part of some terrible incantation. It acts like a spell and requires mana to cast but can only be uttered once per adventure. When spoken it unleashes an infectious destruction that breaks all fragile things in the area. Mechanically it allows him to call a Mass Shatter, but he is also affected by the call and takes an unresistable Rend when the word is spoken. | ||

| + | * Vulstragorn's Duelling Mask: allows the wearer to see the world with the 'Faults unveiled' spell always up. This has the unfortunate side effect of gradually driving the wearer insane, slowly and insidiously (unbeknown to the wearer their hits in psychic combat type situations will be halved) . It's probably why Vulstragorn stopped using it. Annoyingly it takes some time to 'warm up' when put on, and its effect only begins the encounter after it is donned, if it's taken off for even a moment the 'warm up' resets. | ||

Unfortunately they in no way adapt the body to this and so the step tears the wearer in half. Thankfully Logan's efforts ensure that at the completion of the step the halves of the body are united once more. Mechanically, twice per adventure, the wearer may step to anywhere in the patch of consensus they occupy. However, the tearing means they are helpless (effectively bleeding out) for two minutes while taking the step. |
