History and Abilites of Susannah's Items
Staff of Darksword: The most common magical item of Susannah's is her staff, her main weapon and supplement to her spellcasting powers. Created by Prince Garland to mask the fact that among his people she was known as dead, the abilities of the staff are based on the elemental types that Garland's people are separated into. Staff is a white birch carved with the runes signifying the elements (fire, air, earth, water, time, space, life, death) which glow when it's power is used. FIRE: the flame rune glows are fire itself surrounds the staff setting everything that Susannah's not holding (and her herself) aflame. AIR: the turning wind rune glows bright when a field of fresh air eminates and surrounds Susannah, it knocks projectiles flying towards her off course and allows her to breath when there are poisoness gases in the air. EARTH: the rock rune glows when stone surrounds Susannah and everything she has and turns them into a walking statue that's resistant to attacks and some spells. WATER: When the crashing wave rune glows there can be two effects, the first is to allow Susannah to breath water, the second is to surround the staff with an icy vapor that freezes on contact. TIME: The hourglass rune acts as a catalyst for Susannah's spells, allowing them to either be giving a larger range, larger area of effect, or allowing for the maximun potentcy. SPACE: The primary ablity is to allow Susannah to shift to the planes that overlap this one, the plane of shadow, the etheral plane, and the astral plane. Something else that the eight-pointed star rune can do is to create pictures for the words Susannah says to farther prove a point of hers. LIFE: The wheel of eight spokes rune glows when Susannah wishes to talk to the spirits of the world, basically allows her to talk to the dead, ironic power for the life rune huh? DEATH: the sword rune never glows because to the people who made the staff those without magic are practically dead so even with all the spells on the staff, it's still a very well made staff.
Ring of Marriage (Susannah's wedding ring): Something I commonly forget to include in her description is that she wears a ring on her left finger. It is a band of white gold (gold mixed with silver instead of copper which she's allergic to) with three gems: a diamond, a sapphire and an emerald (mine and Jonathan's birthstones and the stone that's our favortie color). For Susannah it gives her some druid spells, she can call the aid of the woodland creature, befriend normal animals, and talk to both animals and plants. For Jonathan is gives him some cleric spells that he doesn't have access to, raise dead, holy smite, santuary, searing light, and negative energy protection. One can know that they are casting a spell from the ring is that the gem of the person with that spell glows than the light travels to the other's gem.
Rings of Friendship Eternal: A simple polish wooden band inscribed with two rune, both strangely similar, but one is circular and the other the pentangular (5-sided). The rings allows all the wearing them to communicate across, time, space, and plane and, if the need arises, will transport other to one of them. The rings can copy themselves so more can be created and given out; the current wearers are: Susannah Ravenshaw-Scott, Jonathan Scott, Tom Ravenshaw, Dennis Sullivan, Joe Ferriera-Garcia, Alicia Dillman-Ravenshaw, Haplo the Patryn, Alfred the Sartan, Artus, son of Gehn and his wife Cathrine.
Necklace of the Enchanted Forest: The sign of Susannah's duchy and the thing that aided her so many time is a choker made of twisting vines of jade. It magically grants her the knowledge to understand and speak, but not write/read, any dialect spoken by humans, elves, dwarves, cenaturs, dragons, angels, demons, devils, faeries, and the like. The way it works is that she hears the translation over what the person actually said so eventually she can learn the tongue.
Cloak of the Sartan: Alfred (mentioned previously) fashioned this cloak for Susannah for a wedding present and is a royal blue color with silver pentangular runes (like the ones on the friendship ring) of protection. Wearing the cloak allows the wearer (usually Susannah) the resistance to magic of the strength of some dragons. Given a little late to be in use agianst their enemies but a very useful item indeed.
Bracers of the Patryn: After her horrible experiance of being impaled by a dragon-snake and living five agonizing months near death kept alive by Jonathan and Alfred, the leader of the Patryn, Xzar, crafted these bracers to make sure something like that doesn't happen again. The Bracer give Susannah the resistance to damage like she's wearing armor, but still having all the mobility she needs for her arcane spells. They also take away more specfically from weapons that pierces like daggers, spears, most ranged weapons, short swords and lances.
Laser Gun: While fighting a furturistic army she picked up one of their laser guns and the solar recharger for it. If she wants to attack someone that's away from her she usually uses her spells or this gun. Andriel, her psuedodragon companion has taken a liking to the gun and tries to get profiecent with it.
Linking Book to Ader Jamat: A linking book is a book that links to a world, if it is the first on written about that place, the place is 'created', the book can only go one way, one has to find another book or write one to get back. Ader Jamat was the first world 'created' by someone that Susannah met a long time ago, with is last moments upon him, he gave her the book that was his creation. Other time Susannah brought plants into the realm and created a large garden of thousands of types of plants. When one goes through the book you appear before a pavillon that contains other linking books and shelter from the weather.
Rod of Splendor: (from the 3.5 DMG) This rod increases the possessor's charisma incredibly as long as the rod is held or carried. Once per day the rod creates clothing of the finet fabric, plus adornments of fur and jewels. This apparel lasts 12 hours. Once per week the rod create a huge pavilion of silk, inside the tent are furnishing and food suitable for royal and can feed and entertain up to one hundred persons for an entire day. Susannah, Jonathan and her friend (who collectively own the rod) usually only uses the rod for the charisma bonus.
Susannah and her friends have access and create many other magical items, they just won't be seen as often as these
