Exploitation of Mystie Tissues, Appendix ii of the Hegemon's Review

A variety of Costly Items can be harvested from the Courpses of killed mysties of all types. They are listed here:

• Mysties invariably bedeck themselves with gold baubles to create local thaumic concentrations when essaying into the clean lands of Humans. They always have sufficient materials to produce at least 1 glevon, or more subject to personal success and wealth. Due to the large surface area per mass of jewelry, developing this level of flux only requires 3-5 lbAu or equivalent per glevon.
  
• The fluid inside a mystie's haemocoel is known as haemolymph or, colloquially, ichor. This is their equivalent of blood, and it is noted to maintain a high concentration of thaumic charge without any dissolved gold content. The storage medium has yet to be determined or isolated. A transmuter will know the process to chemically fix this biologically-stored energy into stable ichor ink. This is used to write scrolls and add spells to spellbooks.
  
• Elves have mysterious access to fine silks of deeply dyed color. Gnomes often have objects of mundane or magical craft. Mermaid spears are powerful one-use weapons and can be sold for .5-1 lbAu each.
  
• Other body parts are made of cool materials. Centaur bones are inexplicably made of ivory. Gnoll teeth are of different random materials known for strength, such as corundum, steel, or knife-edged ivory.

Usable immediately for scroll-writing, etc.

Wandcraft

Horn Wands: Many gnolls and centaurs try and succeed at growing inexplicable spiraling horns from their foreheads for some reason. These can be broken off and repurposed for magical use. This thaumically-active chitin has an interesting conductive property when jammed into the front of a spell aperture. A book exists with processes to enchant idiot horns with enhancements. The enhancements apply to spells channeled through the horn wand.
- Perspication (Requires distillate of an elf's or gnome's cephalomedial gland. A fresh unit yields the improved version.): +1 To Hit on ranged or melee Touch attacks when using the wand. Once per day, retroactively add +2 more to the roll's result. Improved: Double the bonuses.
- Vitriol (Requires quasiperiteneum from two centaurs' stomachs. The improved form requires three more.): +1d4 Acid damage to one target of each spell cast while holding the wand. If the target saves or the attack misses, the damage affects the caster instead. Improved: the damage is 1d8 instead.
- Exsanguination (Requires the teeth of two gnolls; A set of corundum teeth yields the improved form): The wand can be used as a +1 dagger, and you are considered to have Weapon Finesse with it if you don't have that feat. Once per hour, as a Swift action, you may cause one target affected by your spell to suffer 1 Bleed damage. Improved: By wasting a prepared spell of 1st level or higher, you can energize the dagger instead of using its enhancement bonus; add your level instead of your BA to the attack roll, and add twice the wasted spell's level to the damage.
- Transilience (requires an extract taken from the milled bones of three mysties): All damage dealt using the wand is shifted along the progression fire, acid, cold, lightning, sonic, force, force. Non-damaging spells Dazzle their targets and light them up with a pink radiance on a successful save. Improved: As a Swift action, you may shift the damage one type further and replace the pink glow with a loud kaboom which Deafens the target for 1 round.
- Rhodomontade (requires a gnoll's intact cephalic gland; a fresh unit yields the improved form): By boasting disproportionately, the user may attempt a Feint as a swift action while holding the wand. Improved: A target which is fooled by a Feint suffers -2 to saves against your spells for the duration.
- Sequacity (requires the humour from the eyes of six mysties. The addition of 500 units ichor ink yields the improved version): One target affected suffers -1 on its save against spells cast through the wand. Improved: One target has -2 on its save OR the DC is +1.
- Tachyphylaxis (requires one gallons of merfolk oil): Can be used as a Standard action to cause the target of the spell to unwillingly attempt a new Save against one ongoing magic effect against which it failed to save previously. Improved: The target must ignore all temporary magical effects for 1 round when it is affected by your spell (Will negates).
