Earthmaster Mechanisms
Earthmaster Mechanisms are complex Earthmasters devices, blending Magic, Psionics and Technology. Examples include Godstones, Psionic Doors or Elevators, which anyone with a Psionics Skill can potentially use. Multiple people can attune to anyone mechanism at a time, provided they make a Psionic Skill check. If ever there is a conflict of instructions, an opposed Psionic Skill check is made.
Like Earthmaster Artifacts Mechanisms are nearly indestructible, however their extreme age may have rendered some faulty or inoperable.
Example Mechanisms
Chamor's Egg
Location: Earthmaster structure on Kabloqu Trail near Misyn/central Harn.
Appearance: At the center of the ring, floating several feet above the ground is an egg-shaped polished crystal approximately 8” in size.
Attunement: Yes and a Psionic Check DC 20.
Properties: - An attuned creature gains the following benefits.
They gain the following unique Psionics Talent, Amplify Light.
Amplify Light
Talent
Amplify Light – You touch a magical or non-magical light source and increase its brightness. While this psionic talent is in effect, the radius of the bright light around the source is doubled, and dim light extends for the same distance beyond that area. This talent can be used a number of times per day equal to your proficient bonus and has a duration of your highest mental attribute bonus in hours.
Also can if within 100ft of the Egg they can determine when it flares with light; however, this requires concentration.
History/Lore: An ancient stone circle is positioned atop a small hill along the Kabloqu Trail. The crystal, of Earthmaster origin, has resisted all attempts to move it and it appears impervious to damage. Several times a month it randomly releases bright flashes of light that can be seen for miles.
Arganaku Repository
Location: Earthmaster ruin of Anisha/central Harn.
Appearance: A stone altar, 4ft high, 5 ft wide, and 10 ft long. It is made from an ivory-colored pseudostone and inscribed with stylized representations of hundreds of strange creatures and humanoids, and all joined by a complex web.
Attunement: Psionic Check DC 18.
Properties: - This mechanism enables a Psionicist to swap souls with another creature. This transfer can be voluntary or resisted. If resisted both characters must make a wisdom save, and the highest check wins. Both participants must be touching the mechanism.
The mechanism has up to 3 charges slowly regaining them one at a time over d20 years when in proximity to the Godstone. A resisted soul transfer check will use up a charge. However, the process always has the possibility of mishaps. Personality traits, memories, and knowledge often get mixed up between recipients if the contested wisdom saving throw values are close (i.e., within 2 points).
The mechanism does have a fault; it will not regain an expended charge after a soul transfer until one of the recipients has died.
History/Lore: Located at Anisha. This mechanism was likely discovered around 118TR when the Anisha Earthmaster site was sacked by Lothrim the Foulspawner. Since then it has been secretly used by a cult to gain immortality.
