Custom Powers Master List (Work In Progress)
Sanctaphrax:
HVíTURGALDUR [-1]
Description: A warhammer made for use against evil magic. It was crafted by Brokk and Eiti, the dwarves that crafted Mjolnir and other artifacts. Thor gave them a lock of his hair, which was fashioned into the handle, while Odin blessed the iron used for the head of the hammer with good magics. The dwarves toiled for three days crafting the hammer, which is known as Hvíturgaldur (which means White Magic in icelandic).
Musts: You must have a destiny to use this item, and that destiny must be represented by a template or aspect. You must be able to craft magical items or use magic that protects, dispels, heals and manipulates wind and lightning.
Skills Affected: Weapons, Lore
Effects:
[-0] Protector Of White Magic. Hvíturgaldur's purpose is to oppose black magic and defend white magic. If anyone ever attempts to use it to break any of the laws of magic, harm an innocent, destroy good magical works, or empower evil magical works, then the act automatically falls and the bond between the wielder and Hvíturgaldur is broken. The bond can only be restored by a magical ritual wherein the wielder cleanses and purifies his body and soul.
[-0] It Is What It Is. It's a two handed warhammer with magical runes all over it. Weapon 3.
[-0] Unbreakable. As an Item of Power, this item cannot be broken except with a magical ritual predicated upon perverting its purpose.
[+2] One-Time Discount. A two-handed warhammer is not a subtle item.
[-1] Holy. This item is sacred. Its touch is like that of holy water.
[-1] True Aim. This item is a superlative weapon. So long as its wielder acts in accordance with its purpose, add 1 to that wielder's Weapons skill.
[-1] Inscriptions. The runes on this item are not just fancy writing. They consitute 4 Enchanted Item slots, which the user may fill with enchanted items or potions related to healing, dispelling, protection, or storms.
Sanctaphrax:
MAEVE'S LOCKET [-5]
Description: A small locket made of never-melting ice. It was made by the Winter Lady for her Emissary.
Musts: You must have an aspect related to your possession of this item.
Skills Affected: Conviction, Discipline, Lore, Survival, Investigation
Effects:
[-0] Purpose. This item was made to serve Maeve. In will cease to work if she so wishes.
[-0] It Is What It Is. A small locket made out of ice. It's quite beautiful, and it always feels cold to the touch.
[-0] Unbreakable. As an Item of Power, this item cannot be broken except with a magical ritual predicated upon perverting its purpose.
[+1] One-Time Discount. It's not hard to hide a locket.
[-2] Worldwalker. Maeve's power breaks the borders between worlds.
[-4] Unseelie Magic. A mere fraction of the Winter Lady's power, but potent nonetheless.
Sanctaphrax:
HUNTER'S SPEAR [-4]
Description: A Sidhe-bone spear, made by the Erlking for his Emissary. It increases the user's speed and grants some access to the Erlking's natural power.
Musts: You must have an aspect related to your possession of this item.
Skills Affected: Weapons, Conviction, Athletics, Alertness, Stealth, Lore, Discipline
Effects:
[-0] Purpose. This item was made by the Erlking to aid in the hunt. If the wielder ever ceases to be a hunter, as defined by the Erlking, this item will not work for him in a mundane or a magical sense.
[-0] It Is What It Is. It's a spear, much like the ones once used to hunt wild boar. Weapon 3.
[-0] Unbreakable. As an Item of Power, this item cannot be broken except with a magical ritual predicated upon perverting its purpose.
[+2] One-Time Discount. It's as long as some people are tall. You can't just slip it into your pocket.
[-2] Inhuman Speed. The user of this speed moves with the unaffected grace of a predatory beast.
[-4] The Magic Of The Hunt. The user of this spear may use the magic of the Erlking for himself. This is a form of Sponsored Magic.

Out of curiosity, why all the items in a thread titularly dedicated to powers?

Because "Item of Power" in itself is a Power.
And the different items sometimes possess properties that are custom made and therefore could be construed as custom powers.
Though i can understand your confusion. Since "item of power" itself is not a custom power, making your own items is not something that is a custom addition to the game. Hence the items are not really something that would need to be in the custom power thread.
