[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6436712, member: 20323"] That makes sense with her Voodoo tradition. I was thinking of the connection to Katarina's father Blackheart taking on an island bride named Inka. Probably would make sense if Nia comes from a mixed background (a lot of African, some native, a little white) so Haitian or Jamaican would make sense. Right, I forget clerics and druids can prepare any spells from their respective class lists. As for cantrips, I just wanted to clarify that the Ship Mage fortune grants a bonus cantrip, in case you missed it. Ok, she knows the following two items in her possession are magical and knows most of their properties...enjoy! :) [h3]Agwé's Brass Nave[/h3] This weathered teak wood center section (nave or hub) of a broken ship's wheel is capped with brass carved with the veve symbol (a boat with sails) of Agwé, the Master of the Sea and Loa of Tides. Some Voodoo practitioners believe it comes from the ship [i]Immamou [/i]on which Agwé carries the dead to the afterlife. The brass nave serves as an arcane focus, druidic focus, and holy symbol for spells related to the sea. It has three powers depending on which ritual and command words are used: [list][*][b]Weal of Papa Agwé:[/b] By performing a 10 minute ritual you attune the brass nave to a ship with a damaged or missing ship's wheel. The nave spins, growing into a strange ship's wheel made of wood and coral, complete with a magical rudder, allowing one to steer the ship as long as the brass nave serves as the wheel. [*][b]Woe of Master Agwé: [/b]By performing a 10 minute ritual you curse an enemy ship clearly in sight, increasing or decreasing either the sea state or wind state for that ship by one step.
