Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 5859942" data-attributes="member: 4937">Divination: Hidden as a a cup of tea which is never emptied.  It is immune to all powers of its own school, and so, even the gods have lost it.  It's in the possession of a wise but greedy great wyrm gold dragon, who is loathe to part with it and will only willingly allow it to be taken in exchange for an item 'of equal worth'.  In this case, he wants absolute immortality and will only be convinced if the cup of tea proves he will never die.  Transmutation: It's the philosopher's stone.  Lead into Gold anyone?  Just be careful you don't acquire the Midas touch.Evocation: An intelligent Athame called 'The Opener of the Ways' contains the essense of evocation.  Unfortunately, that much raw power has perverted it and its actually got its own agenda.  (You know what they say, with power comes corruption, with absolute power comes absolute corruption).   It needs the essense of conjuration to open a hole in the sky to let creatures from the dungeon dimensions in. Conjuration: It's the Sampo from the Kalevala, or rather, it's the substance contained within the Sampo.  Like the container of essense of Evocation, the Sampo is actually intelligent (although it is loath to admit it) and is afraid of the Athame.Enchantment: Basicly, it's the vial of magical liquid that the White Queen had in Narnia, and used to make addictive food.  The Queen of Fairies has possession of it and uses it to place mortals in a state of permenent enchantment.Illusion: I agree with the pocket dream dimension concept.The only thing I would change from your description is that I like the concept that the essense of all magic emminates from something small, and your abjuration concept makes it really big.  I'd prefer that the Abjuration container is actually the seal that holds the sky together, and that if you want to obtain it you have to figure out how to break it without breaking the sky.</blockquote>
