Magic Implements
A character with a magic skill can use an implement
to enhance magic skill checks as described
in Part III, Chapter of the Genesys
Core Rulebook. With one difference - in The
Old World setting most of magic implements
are tied to specific skills (see Table -: Magic
Implements).
Holy Icon
Holy Icons are representations of a deity. Imbued
with the faith, they help the deity's chosen
to perform unique miracles. When your
character obtains a Holy Icon, the Game Master
determines one effect that can be added to
spells without increasing the difficulty. The
effect chosen must be one that can normally
only increase the difficulty of the spell by
a maximum of two.
Journeyman's Staff
These staffs are given to apprentices on the
day they graduate from a College of Magic.
They are made of a variety of materials, usually
related to the specific College, and represent
the journey every wizard must make on
the way to mastery. When your character casts
a spell while using a journeyman's staff, the
first Range effect added to the spell does not
increase the spell's difficulty. In addition, Attack
spells cast by your character increase their
base damage by four.
