Plot Seeds and Adventures:

Strangely, a magical Regio disappered this year - known by a few covenants - and a large collection of vis was dumped into the area where the regio was. A swarm of cats raided the area and ran off with much of the prize. Some people blame Josephine, and others are looking to the Faerie Queen of Cats. While the magi of the area squabble over vis, people seem to be ignoring the fact that a regio just disappeared...
A duke's beautiful daughter, set to be wed to a powerful nobleman, has disappeared along with her handmaids. Josephine was asked to help the poor woman escape the marriage, as the nobleman is a boorish brute. Josephine has a particular dislike of forced marriages, and thus she snuck into the duke's castle, and the woman and her maids fled across the English channel as swans. The missing bride's father and betrothed have begun asking magi to find the missing woman, for their own reasons.
Josephine is going to different covenants and seeking in their libraries information on the forging of Arthurian myths. Josephine has been particularly insular the last few years, and has somewhat forgotten the chaos her presence in an unprepared covenant can cause. Every marriage in the covenant suddenly becomes very, very strained.

R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Ind

The target is transformed into the form of a beautiful swan. This spell uses a swan-feather pin as a focus, and the spell can be ended early, like many similar transformation spells.

(Base 20, +1 Touch, +2 Sun)

Stalking Storm of Silent Paws MuCo[An] 35

The caster dons a mantle of panther fur as they cast this spell. The caster and their companions touching the mantle transform to a pack of black-furred wildcats. The caster can end the transformation early, but it will end for the entire group.

(Base 10, +1 Touch, +2 Group, +2 Sun)

Robes of Silk and Steel

Made as a gift for an ally of hers, in return for intellect-enhancing rituals, Josephine crafted these robes to protect her Jerbiton friend. The robes seem to be a simple rippling sheet of polished metal, decorated with semi-precious stones and etched with astrological designs and strange nonsensical symbols. The lining inside the robe is made of softest silk and the fur from a Mighty giant ermine. The outer layer of the robes were actually made from mirror-polished steel, as Josephine used magic to turn long, thin sheets of metal into soft leather before having the robes sewn, including the soft inner lining for comfort. Once the robes reverted to their solid metal form, she opened the one of the semi-precious gems inset in it for enchantment and imbued her magic. All together, they offer Protection of 9 and load of 4. The robes have been opened for 12 pawns of vis, and used 5.

Fabric of Steel (MuTe 10)

This enchantment makes the polished metal steel of the robes flow like sleek silk, without losing any of its metallic protectiveness. The robes, thus enchanted, provide 6 soak and 4 load, similar to partial chain mail. Based on Supple Iron and Rigid Rope, this spell makes all the siff parts of the robes flexible, without changing their toughness or composition.

(Base 3, +2 Sun; +3 Environmental Trigger, +2 for 3 uses/day)

Fabric of Silken Fibre (MuAn 15)

Cast upon the soft silk and fur lining of the robes, this spell mimics Doublet of Impenetrable Silk, raising the soak of the robes by an additioal +3.

(Base 4, +2 Sun; +3 Environmental Trigger, +2 for 3 uses/day)

Hem of Blades (MuTe 13)

The wearer of the robe can, with the correct gesture, cause the sleeves and hem of the robe to suddenly sharpen to a razorlike edge. Using this in combat is awkward, but possible, counting as a knife once the wearer has learned the intricacies. It also adds a sharp edge whenver the user needs one.

(Base 5[Change metal to be slightly unnatural], +1 Diam; +3 for 6 uses/day)

Garb of Stylish Variety (MuAn 25)

Brushing the fingers along the fur-lined collar, the wearer of the robe can change the type of fur sewn into the robes at will.

(Base 3, +1 Conc, +1 Part; +5 Item Maintains, +10 Unlimited use)
