Equipment notes:
Blancher: This Large +4 adamantine heavy pick has a haft of petrified bone and a head of crudely formed adamantine. Blancher is unusually heavy and must be wielded with two hands, but it deals damage as if it were a Huge weapon rather than a Large weapon. On a successful critical hit, it deals 1d12 points of bleed damage (this bleed damage does not stack with multiple hits) and 1d3 points of Charisma damage as the victim’s flesh, hair, and eyes are blanched and whitened.
Chalice of Ozem (Major artifact, CL 20) (Laurentius): This chalice is perhaps the last surviving artifact from Sacred Ozem, now forever lost in a tragic battle that ultimately led to the foundation of the Knights of Ozem. Made of shimmering mithral and studded with dozens of rubies, the Chalice of Ozem was carried from the ruins and handed down through generations until it was finally given to Iomedae, who used it in her fight against Erum-Hel during the Battle of Three Sorrows.
The chalice cannot be harmed by any substance it holds, no matter how caustic. Further, any liquid placed within the chalice will never spill unless the chalice’s carrier wills it. If the chalice is held and the command phrase spoken (“Ozem for Iomedae!”), it projects a globe of invulnerability. If a second command phrase is spoken (“Her sheltering shield!”) and a scooping motion is made with the chalice, a resilient sphere is created around the carrier. Each of these effects can be called upon twice per day.
Once per day, a mythic character can expend one use of mythic power while pouring a dose of holy water into the chalice to immediately transform that dose of holy water into a single dose of nectar of the gods ( Pathfinder RPG Mythic Adventures 155).
Fasciculus Labyrinthum (Minor artifact) (Kira Rin): The rune of Baphomet emblazons this slim, leather-bound volume. Taken from a larger work, the Fasciculus Labyrinthum details many of the rituals of Baphomet worship. Included in its pages are details of how to operate the imago lens and incomplete instructions to constructing one. As long as the book is carried (even if carried in an extradimensional space like a bag of holding), it grants its carrier immunity to maze spells and a +4 profane bonus on all saving throws against insanity and confusion effects.
Imago Lens (Major artifact, CL 25) (Kira Rin): The imago lens appears as a 3-foot-diameter semitransparent disc of amber gripped in the jaws of a metal demonic frame. This device functions as a crystal ball with telepathy and true seeing—a successful DC 24 Will save allows a creature to resist being scried upon by the imago lens. Once per day, the imago lens may instead be used to create a projected image of the user, as the spell project image. The user may project this image into any location she has observed before, either in person or via scrying. Once the image is projected, the user can sense the world around the image as if she were there, communicate with nearby creatures, and even cast spells. The image cannot move from its current location.
Stalker's crossbow: This crimson-and-black +3 seeking light crossbow is strung with what appears to be a length of twisted, smoking shadows. Once per day, the wielder of a stalker’s crossbow may cast locate creature, targeting the last creature that was damaged by a bolt fired from the weapon. As long as the locate creature effect continues, the stalker’s crossbow gains the bane weapon special ability against that target.
Stole of the Inheritor (Major artifact, CL 20) (Lazencia): Iomedae often grants the use of the Stole of the Inheritor to her champions in times of great need. When draped across the shoulders, the stole grants DR 5/good, and it grants the use of heal as a quickened spell-like ability once per day. Once per day, a good-aligned wearer of the Stole of the Inheritor can cast holy word. In addition, as long as it is worn, the user can use detect evil and detect chaos at all times. A divine spellcaster who worships Iomedae gains a +2 sacred bonus on all saving throws while wearing the stole. The stole’s greatest power, though, is allowing its wearer to use plane shift on himself and any allies within 120 feet as an immediate action; the stole immediately returns to Iomedae’s shoulders when this effect is used.
Dawnflower's Kiss (Minor artifact, CL 20) (Lazencia): This corrupted blade is a +4 unholy flaming scimitar.
