Yoko held her position and observed the raven-haired male for the duration of the round. She studied her target as he moved away from her increasing the current distance of five metres at a slow pace, using her enhanced senses were applicable. Her darkvision allowed her to see up to thirty-five metres in pure darkness, with her other abilities allowing her to see twice as far as a normal human in low-light. Add to this her blue-eyed gem that let her perceive any chakra and/or techniques used within this field of vision and she had a formidable combination. Of course, her other senses were not lacking with her heightened sense of hearing allowing her to listen through walls as if they were simply not there, and her sense of smell allowing her to detect opponents within ten metres due to the lack of a wind. And by their very nature, Yoko continued to use her passive abilities to sense unusual stonework and poison within three metres and traps within five.

Blue Eyed Gem (Right eye)
Rank: "S"
Type: Secondary, 15 per Slot, Harnessed Gem
Effect: A harnessed Gem capable of allowing the one who has it in their eye to see Chakra Auras.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The star sapphire is a rare and beautiful gemstone. Many people have been fascinated by the star pattern on the gems, and many Alchemists attempted to unlock the Alchemy within the stone. They knew that the stones Alchemy would only be harnessed if the star pattern was preserved, but all attempts failed to harness any Alchemy. Inspiration finally came to one Alchemist whose name has been lost to history. This Alchemist realized that the full potential of the gem could not be harnessed until a sacrifice was made. With excruciating pain, the Alchemist removed one of his eyes and placed the cut star sapphire in the still bleeding socket. The gem settled into place and the blood stopped flowing while the skin settled around the gem, holding it in place. At first the Alchemist had no vision out of the new eye, but after a while his vision returned, though slightly changed, as he was now able to discern Chakra auras around people and objects. To harness the Alchemy of the star sapphire, a high quality gem must be cut into a slightly elongated sphere about the shape of an eye. Once cut, the gem must be placed into an unoccupied eye socket of a living creature. The person is blinded in the new eye for 10 minutes, but thereafter the person is able to see normally as if they had 2 eyes. In addition, the new eye is able to see Chakra auras. With concentration to activate the eye the person is able to discern Chakras auras within sight, knowing the strength and location of the aura. The user automatically know which Jutsus or Chakra effects are active. The user is not able to identify any Chakra items. There are 2 side effects to the gem. One is seeing the world with a slight blue tint. This does not affect any vision other than causing everything to look slightly blue. Second, both of the user's eyes constantly glow with a blue light, whether the blue eyed gem is active or not. This can be disconcerting to some people, so the user receives a +10 equipment bonus to Intimidate skill checks.
Limit: These types of items may be bought inside any Alchemy Shop. With a 5% chance of finding.

Description: Across history many items and objects have been said to have the power of luck. Some have proved true, others false, and the true ability of still other objects remains unknown. Followers of Wrix, the Luckbringer, have researched, collected, and cataloged many of these items. A Gnome wizard named Jamin Forestdigger, a follower of Wrix, sought to add to the Luckbringer’s powers and began experimenting with different minerals. As befitting his faith, Forestdigger's success was a chance of luck. He'd been frustrated to this point, having tested several hundred minerals with no success. In a fit of rage he picked up a pair of sardonyx that had been sitting on a table and threw them against a wall. Later, picking the pieces up, he noticed that the two minerals had shattered into two cubes and resembled the dice that are the symbol of Wrix. When a pair of sardonyx are cut into cubes and set with the symbols associated with Wrix the Alchemy within the mineral is harnessed. The Alchemical Properties is only harnessed when 2 pieces of sardonyx are harnessed together, and once harnessed, the Alchemy only works when both "dice" are held together. A person that holds the dice benefits from a +5 luck bonus to Skills, a +1 luck bonus on saves versus fear effects, and receives 13 temporary Armour Points. Damage dealt to the bearer of the luck stone is removed from these temporary Armour Points first. If a person stops holding one or both of the luck stones they immediately lose all benefits, including the temporary Armour Points.

Umbrite *5
Rank: "B"
Type: Main, Mineral, Special Material
Effect: Special material capable of bending light, making the target easier to hide.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Identification: Difficult; Hardness: 12; Armour Points/Inch: 30; Armour Class: -2. Umbrite is a dark, dense metal of surprising hardness. While umbrite is no match for the hardness of mithral or adamantine, it is stronger than steel and easily among the most durable metals known. Beyond its capable performance as a metal, umbrite is remarkable for its light-absorbing qualities. Umbrite seemingly absorbs light at a slow rate, causing shadows around it to deepen considerably. In fact, veins of umbrite are often located by noting areas incurring a sudden loss of light. Strangely, umbrite is a relatively new discovery, having first been written about within the last 200 years. When the first reports of this material were made, they were dismissed as hallucinations produced by the subterranean gases. This may be one reason umbrite has remained unknown for so long. Umbrite is only found during mining operations for other ores or rare gems, and even more curiously, only in the deepest and darkest locales where few civilized folk venture. One sage has theorized that umbrite may well be a new material. Its appearance and location may be linked with the little-known fact that it only appears near large concentrations of the strange radiations that are said to grow through the underworld. Other learned folk have speculated that umbrite might be seepage from the plane of shadow. Many agree with this theory, since umbrite is only found in places of deepest darkness. Miners have long maintained that umbrite is an unlucky material and bodes ill. Stories abound of miners disappearing frequently after a vein of umbrite has been uncovered. Miners have considered it a nuisance material for decades, since until recently it was impossible to forge umbrite into any useful product. The underdark civilizations have begun vying to learn this secret and, more importantly, to gain control of umbrite mines of their own. Umbrite-forged items are immensely expensive. A forged umbrite item weighing 1 pound or more retains much of its light-absorbing properties. While wielding any umbrite item of 1 pound or more, the user gains a +5 circumstance bonus to Stealth per Equipment Piece. Shadows around them seem to be deeper and darker. This affects a 2-meter area around the wielder and does not extend to others.
Limit: These items may be bought inside any Weapon Shop.

Other learned folk have speculated that umbrite might be seepage from the plane of shadow. Many agree with this theory, since umbrite is only found in places of deepest darkness. Miners have long maintained that umbrite is an unlucky material and bodes ill. Stories abound of miners disappearing frequently after a vein of umbrite has been uncovered. Miners have considered it a nuisance material for decades, since until recently it was impossible to forge umbrite into any useful product. The underdark civilizations have begun vying to learn this secret and, more importantly, to gain control of umbrite mines of their own. Umbrite-forged items are immensely expensive. A forged umbrite item weighing 1 pound or more retains much of its light-absorbing properties. While wielding any umbrite item of 1 pound or more, the user gains a +5 circumstance bonus to Stealth per Equipment Piece. Shadows around them seem to be deeper and darker. This affects a 2-meter area around the wielder and does not extend to others.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Across history many items and objects have been said to have the power of luck. Some have proved true, others false, and the true ability of still other objects remains unknown. Followers of Wrix, the Luckbringer, have researched, collected, and cataloged many of these items. A Gnome wizard named Jamin Forestdigger, a follower of Wrix, sought to add to the Luckbringer’s powers and began experimenting with different minerals. As befitting his faith, Forestdigger's success was a chance of luck. He'd been frustrated to this point, having tested several hundred minerals with no success. In a fit of rage he picked up a pair of sardonyx that had been sitting on a table and threw them against a wall. Later, picking the pieces up, he noticed that the two minerals had shattered into two cubes and resembled the dice that are the symbol of Wrix. When a pair of sardonyx are cut into cubes and set with the symbols associated with Wrix the Alchemy within the mineral is harnessed. The Alchemical Properties is only harnessed when 2 pieces of sardonyx are harnessed together, and once harnessed, the Alchemy only works when both "dice" are held together. A person that holds the dice benefits from a +5 luck bonus to Skills, a +1 luck bonus on saves versus fear effects, and receives 13 temporary Armour Points. Damage dealt to the bearer of the luck stone is removed from these temporary Armour Points first.

The Ritualist creates a concoction, using the flesh of Protean, and injects the blood of Protean into the target of the Ritual. The target of the ritual then makes a Pact with Death himself asking for further power as the blood and flesh overtakes the body of the target. The subject dies and is ritually buried in hallowed ground. After the interment, the Ritualist invokes a prayer to Death asking him to bestow a power of weapon and steel. At the conclusion of the ritual the subject is unburied as life is restored. There are no Type nor Subtype alterations to the target. After the Ritual has been performed the target is able to maintain all of its Bloodlimit Attributes if it has one. It can no longer take any additional Creation Rituals.
