Feather Mail

By Gabriel Pallarés Ramón

Item Type: Invested Item
Physical Form: A full set of chain mail of excellent quality, including a belt made of chain and richly decorated with semi-precious stones

Effect:
Technique and Form: PeTe
Level: 50
Range: Personal
Duration: Sun
Target: Ind.

The chainmail lacks weight. The wearer of the chainmail gain its Protection without any Load added into the calculation of the character's Burden. Thought the weight has disappeared the chain retains its stiffness, and when wearers try to make delicate and precise movements (like casting spells) the chainmail has a Load of 1 (which is considerably better than the original 6). This penalty does not apply to magi with the virtue Subtle magic, and combat maneuvers are not considered to be delicate and precise movement. It is possible to make a chainmail suit specially designed to avoid this stiffness, but this requires the smith who makes it to succeed in a roll against an Ease Factor of 9+ using Dexterity + Profession (Smith).

Level Calculation: Base 40 (adapted from the same effect in the Corpus guidelines) +2 Sun
Effect Frequency: 2/day
Trigger: When the belt is fastened the effect starts. Until the belt is unfastened the effect is triggered again at dusk and dawn.
Effect Modifications:

Number of Charges: n/a
Bonus to Aging Rolls: n/a
Total Modified Level of Effect: 54
Other Details: The effect does not totally suppress the weight of the chainmail, but it is so light that the wearer is not affected by its weight. If the belt is closed while nobody is wearing the chain it will not float into the air.
