Manacles
Item
Bulk —
Hands 2
Category Adventuring Gear
You can manacle someone who is willing or otherwise at your mercy as an exploration activity taking 10–30 seconds depending on the creature's size and how many manacles you apply. A two-legged creature with its legs bound takes a –15-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds, and a two-handed creature with its wrists bound has to succeed at a DC 5 flat check any time it uses a manipulate action or else that action fails. This DC may be higher depending on how tightly the manacles constrain the hands. A creature bound to a stationary object is immobilized. For creatures with more or fewer limbs, the GM determines what effect manacles have, if any. Freeing a creature from poor manacles requires two successful DC 17 Thievery checks, simple manacles requires three successes at DC 22, average manacles require four successes at DC 27, good manacles require five successes at DC 32, and superior manacles require six successes at DC 42.

Manacles Of Persuasion
Item 3
Access follower of Zamoulel
Price 45 gp
Usage worn on wrists; Bulk 1
Category Worn Item
These sturdy, average manacles are connected by a thick iron chain that is much heavier than its appearance suggests at a glance.
Followers of Zamoulel sometimes employ manacles of persuasion against captured enemies and spies. When the manacles are locked around an immobilized creature's wrists, they begin to sap the life out of the victim, dealing 2 negative damage per hour until the creature falls unconscious. The effect is nonlethal, so the damage doesn't cause the creature to become dying.
While the creature is unconscious, the manacles deal no damage and allow the creature to recover Hit Points normally to a maximum of 10 Hit Points, at which point the manacles begin to deal damage once more. The manacles have no effect on a creature that is not immobilized.

Mantis Shell
Item 1
Price 10 gp
Bulk 1
AC Bonus +2; Dex Cap +3
Strength 12; Check Penalty –-1; Speed Penalty —
Category Light Armor; Group Skeletal
Construction of mantis shell armor originates with the Tranithair Mantis assassins. Authentic mantis shell can be found in some dark markets, but wearing such armor can attract deadly attention from the armor's originators. Mantis shell comes with the weapon harness adjustment, though these special vambraces are meant to hold sawtooth sabers, and attaching anything else is an insult to the Tranithair Mantis. A character who is a member of the Tranithair Mantis assassins has access to this uncommon armor.

In addition to good-naturedly attempting to convert you to its religion, the martyr's shield can use 1 reaction each round that, when raised, it uses to Shield Block to protect an ally adjacent to you, with the effects of the Shield Warden feat. The martyr's shield uses this reaction whether you would prefer it did so or not.

The same replacement filters used in water purifiers can be used with a plague mask, granting you the counteract modifier and effects of the filter for 20 minutes. Plague masks are uncommon items because the filters they use to protect from inhaled poisons and diseases are themselves uncommon. As such, you can buy a plague mask without a filter as a common item, though it's usually more cost-effective to buy a fine mask in the shape of a plague mask in that case.

Memoir Map
Item 1
Price 13 gp
Usage tattooed on the body; Bulk —
Category Tattoo
Your journeys and the major events in your life that occur after you obtain this tattoo appear on it, your life story traced upon your skin. Each time you journey somewhere new or accomplish something noteworthy to you, a design or symbol appears, representing the event. The positions of these images are relative in location, but measurements aren't exact. A memoir map starts with an icon representing your location when you receive the tattoo, usually over the heart, and grows from there. Traveling to another plane causes a new portion to appear on a different part of your body to represent that plane. If you want a record of your life before you receive your memoir map, you can have the tattoo artist embellish the map to represent past events.

Memoraifu's Heartstone
Item 13
Price 2,500 gp
Usage worn
Category Worn Item
This pale gemstone grants its wearer a +2 item bonus to saving throws and the ability to discern a target's alignment (as detect alignment, but can detect chaotic, evil, good, and lawful auras simultaneously) at will by peering through the gemstone.
Like all hag heartstones, this gemstone is powered by Memoraifu's spirit. Memoraifu does not need to wear her heartstone to benefit from its powers, but she cannot use them if she hasn't touched her heartstone in the past 7 days. If Memoraifu's heartstone is separated from her for more than 7 days (or if she's been dead for 7 days), it becomes a non-magical gemstone. Memoraifu's heartstone allows her to use additional occult innate spells: ethereal jaunt (9th level) and bind soul at will, shadow blast (6th level) twice per day, and spirit blast once per day.
Craft Requirements You must be a night hag.

Memory Palace
Item 14
Price 4,200 gp
Bulk — (when not activated)
Category Structure
A memory palace is an elaborate magical structure that safely stores memories for easy access. It appears to be a miniature Kraesud villa small enough to fit in the palm of a human hand.
Memories you have imprinted on a node can be mentally accessed at any time by a creature holding the memory palace in its miniature form, regardless of who imprinted them. This grants a +2 item bonus to Recall Knowledge checks relating to details specifically occurring within the memory. What exactly qualifies is up to the GM's discretion, but a node shouldn't grant the benefits for most uses of a given skill. For example, a node dedicated to a book about trees found in the Falalugreid Expanse would help with Recall Knowledge checks for such trees, but it wouldn't grant the benefits for all Nature checks to Recall Knowledge.
A memory palace node can also store the text from a spellbook or magical tome, but these memories aren't a substitute for having the book in your possession. A wizard can't prepare spells from a memory palace, though they could use it as source material to try to Learn a Spell.
However, since storing spells in a node would only benefit someone else who later discovers the memory palace, few choose to take such an action. The memories contained within the nodes aren't real, and thus don't cause harmful effects, even if the source of the memory was a mental danger. Many memory palaces have leftover memories from previous users—now long dead—imprinted on their various nodes.

Merciful
Rune 4
Price 70 gp
Usage etched onto a weapon
Category Rune
Merciful weapons are sheathed in an unmistakable wispy green aura recognized by both gladiators and guards around the world. A merciful weapon has the nonlethal trait and can't be used to make a lethal attack. Any persistent damage the weapon would deal is negated.
On a critical hit, a merciful weapon causes the target to become fascinated with the weapon's wielder for 1 minute, as the target is bombarded with feelings of guilt and remorse. This is a mental effect. If you have access to the weapon's critical specialization effect, you choose whether to use it or the merciful effect.

Category Missive
A messenger missive sends itself. When composing the missive, you write a location upon it. You can also include an individual creature you expect to be in that location as a recipient; if you don't, the first creature in the location to touch the missive is treated as the recipient. Once you finish composing the missive, it folds itself into the shape of a bird and Flies at a Speed of 45 feet (15 miles per hour) toward the location for up to 24 hours. It alights near its recipient or in their hand. When activated, the missive becomes non‑magical but retains its contents. If it fails to reach its recipient in 24 hours, the missive burns to ash.

Midday Lantern
Item 6+
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
Category Held
This hooded lantern is made from brilliant, reinforced gold engraved with the image of the sun high in the sky. The lantern uses oil, as a standard lantern, except that any light the lantern emits is magical and similar to sunlight. The lantern doesn't emit dim light, instead only emitting bright light to its normal radius (20 feet for typical lights when using oil). This bright light is close enough to sunlight to open temple doors that require sunlight or similar light, but it doesn't shine direct sunlight, so it doesn't trigger effects such as a vampire's sunlight weakness.
Type lesser; Level 6; Price 235 gp
Type moderate; Level 10; Price 850 gp
The lantern casts 4th-level scorching ray using a spell attack roll of +20.

Mind's Light Circlet
Item 11
Price 1,200 gp
Usage worn headwear; Bulk —
Category Worn Item
Gemstones of many colors adorn the silver of a mind's light circlet. When you're charged with mental power, the jewels scintillate with light, with different gems resonating based on your emotions. If you have at least 1 Focus Point, the gems cast dim light in a 10-foot radius. When you amp a spell, the light increases to bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light to the next 20 feet) until the start of your next turn.
You gain a +2 item bonus to Occultism checks. You also gain the following amp, which you can apply to any of your psi cantrips that have a target or area, much like an amp gained from a feat (Dark Archive 10). Amp You transfer some of the magical luminescence from the mind's light circlet to one of the creatures. Choose a creature targeted by the spell or in its area. Until the start of your next turn, that creature sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light to the next 20 feet) and can't be concealed. If the creature is invisible, it's concealed while alight, rather than being undetected.
Craft Requirements You are a psychic.
