Musts: You must have an aspect related to your possession of this item.

[-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 a very noticeable item. You can't really hide it, but maybe you can pass it off as a toy.
[-1] Grabby Claws. The claws at the end of the staff flex to grab foes. This allows the wielder to grapple opponents with the Weapons skill, including any Might-based grappling bonuses.

[-0] It Is What It Is. A big flaming sword. 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 really obvious even when it's not emitting flame.
[-1] Damage Shield. The sword wreaths its user in flame, making them dangerous to touch.
[-1] Wings. The wings on the sword's hilt can carry the wielder into the sky.
[-3] Fire Immunity. All fire-based attacks are absorbed into the blades flaming aura.

Neat! Though I'm curious just what bonuses Mathematical Prodigy and Telekinesis and Telepathy are giving for that kind of cost. I'm guessing the latter is a Sponsored Magic?
