Hypocauston Magicum |
|
Magical Hypocaust |
|
|
| This small brass replica hearth heats or cools a structure in which it is placed to the warmth of a summer's day (high 70s) or chill of a summer's night (high 60s). The temperature of the Structure remains constant, unless changed by the holder of the device, until the next Sun event. The device can be activated up to 24 times each day to change the temperature in the Structure. |
Lapis Foci |
|
Hearthstone |
|
|
| A miniature hearth carved from black basalt stone, on the end of an iron rod with a hornbeam handle, which can create a large magical fire, hot enough for any baking or cooking use. The enchantment is activated and controlled by touching the stone to a hearth and speaking the command word "incoendo." The heat of the flames may be adjusted by the command words "candens" (hotter) and "alsus" (cooler), and the amount of flame produced may be varied by the command words "magis" (greater) and "minus" (lesser); any fire created by a given Lapis Foci may be cancelled by touching the stone to the hearth and speaking the command word "coryza," fire created by a Lapis Foci will cease at each Sun event regardless. |
Virga Lampasilluminoris |
|
Rod of the Lamplighter |
|
|
This four-foot pine rods is carved with interleaving spiral patterns, with a tiny model brass lamp on one end and an ovoid point on the other. The rod creates a light source when the ovoid is touched to an item of glass; the source emanates light equivalent to torchlight, and will persist within the glass until cancelled by touching the light again with the rod, or the next Sun event.
The effect is specifically designed, when touched to a sphere of glass, to create a source of light at the center of the sphere. It may light both Lanternae Vitreae and Lampadae Vitreae.
Lanternae Vitreae (glass lanterns) are small wooden lanterns with linen side panels, each holding a small glass sphere inside.
Lampadae Vitreae (glass lamps) are spheres of glass spaced along the walls in sconces. |
