2-dot Relic
Durability 3, Size 0, Structure 3
Description: This looks like a pair of antique reading glasses. The frames are tarnished, but the spectacles are otherwise unremarkable.
Background: The origin of these glasses is not immediately apparent. The age suggests sometime in the mid- to late-nineteenth century, although the manufacturer, if any, is not apparent. They are probably worth a little on their own, and definitely worth more to the right buyer who understands their mystic properties.
Effects
Knowledge Seeker (•): By spending 1 Willpower point, the character's next Research extended action task will be reduced from 30 minutes per roll to 5 minutes per roll. If the time interval is not 30 minutes, assume it is reduced a comparable amount (roughly by a sixth).
Potent Success, Attribute (•••): By spending 2 Willpower points, the character's Academics rolls all gain the 9-Again quality for the rest of the scene. This power may only be used once per 24 hour period.
(Curse) Vulnerable: However, meddling with alien forces does have its dangers. After using the Potent Success power (above), the character becomes vulnerable to supernatural or magical powers. For the next three days, any creature using such an ability on the character gains +2 dice to its roll.
