Stone of Luck

The ragged figure creaks and crackles as it moves, and it (he?) holds out a single gnarled arm, looking like someone wrapped rotted bandages around a frame of wicker and sticks to make something vaguely usable as a hand. As the fingers open wide, clearly apon his palm is a smooth stone the size of a thumb. "I have a bezoar of good luck," he says, voice seeming almost tinny as it rings out from the lantern atop his shoulders. "A customer of mine was getting ill will from all of his good luck, and so a deal was made. However, I have a need of a strong Destiny for a newborn-to-be, and if you could trade your Destiny for luck, I would give you good luck instead."

Akakios would be willing to trade the Stone of Luck, a bezoar from a goat's belly, for a customer's destiny. Agreeing to this trade would give the bargainer the flaw Obsessed (superstitious luck) whenever the stone is not held in hand, and an accompanying personality trait Superstitious +2. Akakios values this stone at 9 vis, or an item of equivalent value.

Stone of Luck: This smooth stone looks like someone has worn a flat patch on one side by rubbing it. Holding the good-luck charm in hand will give the a sensation of wisdom with regards to luck and fate, a Deja-vu like sense of imminent victory. In reality, it gives the holder the Self-Confident virtue.

Also in his stocks are the broken shards of a sword, amounting to 3 Perdo vis; two un-planted seeds each worth 1 herbam vis; and a bag containing a mute man's voice, worth 1 Imaginem vis (and possibly an arcane connection to someone distant).
