Prime energy Indecision due to contradictory characteristics brought together. Tension in the aftermath of a quarrel
that has been resolved. Scheming, abuse of trust, and agreements made in bad faith. Allowing the mind to block off the
emotions. Self deception as a means of justifying cruel acts.
Spirit A true businessman, with a gift for identifying opportunities and taking advantage of them. A person well
informed about the world, skilled in all things physical, and
eager to encourage others. A pillar of practicality and dependability, embracing tried and tested methods, and possessing an innate understanding of the material reality. A
philanthropist and devotee of both luxury and hard work,
whose word is as good as gold.
Motivation and creativity A time of shallow overindulgence, followed depletion. The successful but utterly unfulfilling conclusion of a matter. Satisfaction from sensual
pleasures divorced from any sense of love. May indicate
problems prematurely dismissed or a victory claimed before
it is certain.
Emotion and meditation Lost hopes, doubt and failure.
Physical health and mental outlook lost in the outer darkness. Desperation leading to blind faith in false solutions.
Material world The commencement of business, commercial transactions, or employment. The constructive use of
creative talents, and the expression of artistry in workmanship. Skill and labor turned to the crafting of things of value.
Using the conventional as a medium for expressing the exceptional, in order to build something of great renown and
glory.
Opposing forces Arrogance and dangerous overconfidence
as the result of a past success. Impudence and false pride
in meaningless achievements. Fear of failure coupled with
false hopes. Frustration over indefinite delays and motion
without progress. vs Completion of material prosperity and
riches. Freedom from financial anxiety, the security of home,
and the enjoyment of family. The passing of inheritance
along to children, or the gaining of inheritance from parents.

mistrust, and doubt. May indicate a death or other catastrophic loss.

PUZZLES

The problem is that the wizards notes are sparse and

heavily damaged. The players only have a few hints and
must extrapolate to finish and combine the reagents.
Here we can use a set number of variables (perhaps color,
quantity, physical state and label) to create a puzzle the
PCs must work through to create the correct reagents. For
example, you must add 3 tablespoons of the green powder
labeled Wyrmsvort along with W amount of the reagent
with properties X, Y, & Z.
This is the easiest way to use this sort of puzzle, but this
use is definitely made more interesting when mixed in as
part of a greater skill challenge or combat sequence. Having
the wizard in the party stand at the desk and try to figure
out the reagents under pressure of a real life timer while her
