herb wallet - sheet of oiled silk used to store vials of herbs, tiny pestle & mortar, wraps into an easily portable & compact roll of fabric.

cell phone - y'know, essential survival aid ;)

Rose has short, cotton-white hair and grey eyes. Quite pretty, in a bony kind of way although often looks tired and a sometimes a little haunted. (Nightmares Flaw) Soft-spoken, british accent.

Talisman - Soul Stone (Protective Amulet) - Arete 3, Quintessence 15, Effect - Prime 3 (15xp spent)

This looks like a small, smooth grey stone with a natural hole in it banded with three silvery lines of quartz. It can be worn on a chain or leather/woven band - which should also be enchanted against breaking or being removed involuntarily.

This amulet strengthens the natural defences of an Awakened wearer's avatar against corrupting influences. It makes it harder for a demon, vampire, malevolent spirit or Nephandus to possess the wearer or invade his/her soul.

This might mean, for example, that a malevolent supernatural being might affect the wearer's mind but wouldn't be able to influence the wearer to use their magick contrary to their sense of right and wrong, their core beliefs. In terms of game mechanics, the wearer could roll the arete of the amulet vs diff 6, successes mean that the wearer could use a point of the talisman's quintessence per success to add a +1 diff to the attacker's attempts to suborn the wearer's awakened will/corrupt their avatar which the wearer might then counter by a willpower roll vs diff 6. Although there is no spirit magick within the amulet, it's nature as a talisman and as an object imbued with Prime means that it would glow on the spirit plane and its protection (of the mage's purely magickal essence which is always present on any plane) would work on the spirit plane too. The amulet wouldn't protect the Mage from physical attacks or mental assaults but it would make them difficult to corrupt/turn to evil acts as a response to mental/emotional confusion/trauma.

This is the first Talisman that Rose has ever made. it is invested with a lot of her personal power and identity. In unscrupulous hands it would give the owner considerable power over Rose - akin to them holding one of her personal foci or the secret to her True Name.

Rose created the Soul Stone for Fenton Burke and it is currently in his possession.

Talisman – Lodestone

A stone from the shores of Grey Mere, Rose’s avatar, which can guide any traveller in the Spirit Realms to Grey Mere, a protected space/sanctuary.
