Druid's Cauldron        {Cauldron}      [Jack]
  Creator: Unknown [Verbena]
  Talisman 2:  Correspondence II / Prime I

This large black cauldron serves a focus for Verbena Magi.  In addition,
it allows for the user to see other places.  I think two dice is too weak
for this.  Make the time stirring 5 minutes, with a verbal component, and
give the user a break and 4 dice (use the chart on p. 184 to determine
range).  

Correspondence II: By stirring the cauldron and muttering, the Druid can
look into the cauldron and see other places. [as with Correspondence
Sensing].

Prime I:  Any magical being or item will glow and shimmer when being
viewed in the cauldron, showing it to be magical.

Gauss Gun               {Gun}           [LostBoy]
  Creator:  Dr. Ernest Fielding [Sons of Ether]
  Talisman 3::  Forces III  / Prime II / Entropy I

This looks like a rather large heavy pistol, with a huge sight on top
(which is longer than the gun.  The gun itself has small rings running
around the outside of it, up the barrel.

The gun shoots a solid pellet from the barrel.  The pellet is given a
strong negative charge, and then an huge positive charge runs up the
barrel, propelling the pellet towards a target.  When hit, the target
also takes electrical damage, as the pellet still has a very large
charge.  Disciples of Matter can create pellets inside the gun for easier
fire.  

Mundane Mechanics:
Difficulty: 7, Damage: 4 (+ electrical damage).  Scope adds two dice to
the dice pool.

Magical Effects:

Forces 3: Any charged pellet which hits a target does (3 dice * 2) damage
[difficulty 6].  The effect is a strong electrical discharge, so this is
also great to use on computers or other electronics you don't want to
mess with.

Prime 2: This is a necessary part of the talisman to provide a conduit of
Quintessence to fuel the gun, pellet, and power the scope.

Entropy 1: The scope is a device that show the target in strong relief,
and highlights the weakest area of the target (as in Dim Mak).  Given one
round to target an object, the scope will make small corrections to the
aiming and firing of the gun so that this vulnerable part is hit.  Extra
mundane damage is done for every success on 3 dice [difficulty 6].

  Talisman 1:     Forces I

	This Talisman provides the user with Infrared vision,
very helpful for identifying Vampires.  They appear to be a
normal pair of mirrorshades.

  Creator:      [] 
  Talisman 5: Correspondence V / Correspondence IV /
	    Time III / Correspondence II / Time I

This pair of running shoes gives the wearer incredible
abilities when moving.  Magical Effects:

Time 1:  User knows precise time whenever active.

Correspondence 2: This allows the user to extend his perception along his
running path, thus allowing him to spot obstacles.

Time 3: The user can accelerate his movement through time, adding one
extra turn for each success above 2.

Correspondence 4: Can create Pathways to other Places.  As per Conjoin
Localities.

Correspondence 5:  Can shorten the distance between two points.

Teleportation/Transubstantiatian Chamber        {Machine}       [LostBoy]

    Creators: Dr. Emil Heinrich, Dr. Ernest Fielding  [Sons of Ether]
Talisman 5:: Spirit V / Life IV / Correspondence III / 
	     Correspondence II  / Spirit II

This is a large round booth connected to a large computer setup, with a
giant monitor attached.  It can be used to teleport to and from
locations, including the Umbra.  All rolls (for correspondence or spirit
travel, or Life effects) are made with 5 dice, the level of the Talisman.

The Chamber can be operated by hand by anyone who has been taught the
operation of the device by someone who knows how, or who makes a Computer
Rolls (3 successes, difficulty 7).  The Chamber can be operated remotely
by one of three linked communication devices.  Thus one could command to
be brought home immediately, or, one could request the teleportation of,
"the person 7 feet North of me" through use of the communicator.

The chamber actually works by breaking the body of a target down into
Ether, and then transporting the memory through the Ether to a new
location, and putting it back together there.  It's perfectly safe.
Really.  

Magical Effects:

Spirit II / Correspondence II: The monitor can be used to peer into the
mortal world or the Umbra.  Those who can sense such would see the
viewers peering through a screen.  Unlike the usual Correspondence
Sensing (Level II), only sight and sound are transmitted, no aural or
touch related information is given.  Also, there is no way to communicate
with any creature thus viewed (this is how I get a second Level 2 effect
instead of a Level 1 effect).

Correspondence III: This is a reworking of the Seven-league Stride.  The
body gives a faint humming sound and appears to slowly break up into
squiggley fragments, which then disappear (if you think Star Trek, you
are correct).  If you are going from point A to point B, you would need
to first teleport to the Chamber, then out again.  You must either be in
the chamber, or wearing one of the communication badges for this effect
to work.

Life IV: What was first a really bad bug in the system has been turned
into a rather powerful weapon.  When directed either from the view-screen
or by directions through a communicator, the Chamber can teleport only
part of the body into the Ether, forming lesions and hemorrhaging on the
remaining form.  The user must roll Perception + Science to correctly
give instructions to the Computer on where to attack.  Damage is 5D *
3 (difficulty 6).  [See "Rip of the Man-Body"].

Spirit V:  This allows actual teleportation into the Umbra.  The physical
body is broken down into Ether and stored in the computer's memory while
the Spirit is teleported into the Ether.  It is projected on a path to
the destination, but it must still journey there slowly -- it doesn't
just materialize there.  By use of this the mage can also quite easily be
sent to locations in the Near Umbra as well [See Deep Umbra Travel].
