Vangloris Liativeirn Emblem
Item 3
Price 60 gp
Usage tattooed on the body; Bulk —
Category Tattoo
These tattoos are created using designs and techniques from Liativeirn culture. Such tattoos often depict the Liativeirn rune for one of the seven schools of magic, but one might instead show a creature or celestial phenomenon associated with the school, depicted in traditional Liativeirn iconography.
The tattoo allows you to understand and speak Liativeirn. If you already know that language, you instead gain a +1 item bonus on Diplomacy checks you make when speaking Liativeirn to someone who understands it.
Each description lists the school of each Liativeirn emblem, and the tattoo has the trait of that school. The spell the tattoo can cast is from its school. As with the Virokral magic that was once so prevalent in Geifu, these tattoos lack a symbol of divination.
This rune of illusion can cast ventriloquism.

Against the trap's reaction or the attack, you gain resistance 25 to physical damage and are immune to precision damage.
This effect also prevents the reaction or attack from physically moving you (such as falling down a pit or being knocked prone), and after the reaction or attack, you can Fly 5 feet. When you end this flight, you leave your vaporous state and are exposed to any danger still at your location.

Vial of the Immortal Wellspring
Item 20
Category Contract
At a wellspring, you gave your blood to a force of nature and received a vial from the wellspring's heart in return. Once per 10 minutes, when your dying value would increase above 3, you instead become unconscious and are no longer dying; this doesn't prevent you from being killed by death effects or the doomed condition. Once per day, from any distance, the entity that holds your bargained contract can possess you and control your actions, leaving you unaware of what goes on. This possession automatically succeeds, regardless of any countermeasures you might take. Normally this lasts for only 1 round if during an encounter, or no longer than a few minutes during exploration. However, the more you rely on the power of the wellspring's heart to survive death, the longer it can possess you the next time it chooses to do so, doubling the amount of time with each use, to a maximum duration of 1 day. Once the entity possesses you, this duration resets.

Vine Whip
Item 8
Price 500 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk 1
Category Held
This +1 striking whip is crafted from the vine of a dangerous plant creature. It deals bludgeoning or slashing damage, according to the vine attack of the creature it was harvested from. For example, collecting a vine from an assassin vine would result in a vine whip that deals bludgeoning damage, while one from a mandragora or viper vine would deal piercing damage.
The weapon has a space of 5 feet, but it doesn't block or impede enemies attempting to move though that space, nor does it benefit from or provide flanking. The weapon can't use reactions, and it acts on your turn.
While Activated, a vine whip makes Strikes with an attack modifier of +22 plus its item bonus to attack rolls (normally +24 total). It uses the weapon's normal damage but has a +0 Strength modifier. The whip's abilities that automatically trigger on a hit or critical hit still function, but the weapon can't be Activated or benefit from any of your abilities while rooted.
Each round, when the vine whip is finished using its actions, attempt a DC 6 flat check. On a failure, the ends and the vine whip becomes inanimate.
You can't Activate the item again for 10 minutes. Removing the vine whip from the ground takes an Interact action. While rooted, the vine whip gains fast healing 1.
Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include the vine from a plant creature with a vine attack.

It's possible to use the coating on any surface that can be painted (subject to the GM's discretion). Colorful coating dries instantly, and its effect in the square you coated lasts for 1 minute. After that time, the coating turns to fine, inert powder, returning the square to its original condition unless otherwise noted.
Violet colorful coating contains compounds that become goopy and sticky. A square of this coating is difficult terrain. Any creature that enters the square must succeed at a DC 20 Reflex save or take a –15-foot penalty to its Speeds until the end of its next turn. On a critical failure, the creature is immobilized in the square until the end of its next turn. The target can end these effects by Escaping (DC 20) or spending 2 Interact actions to remove the sticky substances. These Interact actions don't have to be consecutive, and other creatures can help by providing the actions.

This bonus increases to +3 if the performer is currently aboard a ship, walking on the ocean, or otherwise immediately adjacent to ocean water.
The violin was created to play a specific tune, one that springs instantly into the mind of anyone who so much as casually strums the instrument. It's a tune of calm waters and safety, but also of pranks played upon shipmates and revelry.
Anyone aboard the ship finds their mind wanders when performing tasks however, daydreaming of drunken revelry or other forms of entertainment, and the crew of the ship takes a –2 status penalty to skill checks to do anything other than participate in such revelry.

The viper then lands in an open space adjacent to the target.
The viper has the summoned trait and acts at the end of your turn, even though you didn't use the Sustain a Spell action. It is under the GM's control, but it generally attacks the creature the arrow struck. The viper vanishes after 1 minute or when slain.
Craft Requirements Supply one casting of summon animal.

Vobrodeik's Passage
Item 15
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk 1
Category Held
This +2 greater striking flintlock pistol has the odd construction of possessing two triggers, one of soapstone and one of onyx, clearly separated with individual trigger guards.

The weapon disappeared shortly after its invention, but rumors have circulated that it now belongs to a group of thieves who use it to commit impossible robberies.
Choose a vertical surface within 120 feet. A beam of black energy crackles to the vertical surface and creates a black portal on that surface. Any creature who moves through the black portal comes out through the vobrodeik's passage's white portal, if one exists on the same plane.
Using this activation causes any previous black portal to disappear; even if you don't create a new portal; otherwise, the portal lasts until your next daily preparations.

Communication telepathy (Driraithod, Celestial, Common, Utopian)
Skills Diplomacy +33, Religion +29, Warfare Lore +27
Int +0, Wis +4, Cha +6
Will +31
Vodouth was a Knight of Mashind during the Shining Crusade, sworn to the service of Giatevrin's herald, Sushaisi. After Sushaisi perished at the hands of the Falethiamath, Vodouth became the first paladin to swear her service to the newly ascended goddess, Laisouvis. When she fell in battle, a fragment of her spirit clung to the sword through which she had wielded her faith in countless battles, granting the weapon a sentience of its own. The sword named herself after her fallen bearer and has been a faithful companion to many Laisouvisan warriors since.
Vodouth is a +3 major striking holy rapier devoted to the principles of Laisouvis as an exemplar of valorous action and as a protector of the innocent.
Vodouth is very particular about who she permits to wield her. She agrees to work with you if you are a follower of Laisouvis, or if you are lawful good or neutral good and worship a different good deity. Otherwise, you must convince Vodouth of the rightness of your cause. If Vodouth doesn't want you to wield her, once per minute she can attempt to force you to put her down (DC 42 Will save to resist this command). Even if you succeed at this saving throw, Vodouth refuses to apply any of her fundamental or property runes and gives you a –2 penalty on attack rolls with Vodouth or any other weapon until you drop her.
Vodouth can use the following activations.

Numerous volumes and editions of the Vofalai Chronicles exist, each cataloging different adventures.

A Vofalai's mentor is a bi‑resonant wayfinder (World Guide 17) that has developed sapience. Most Vofalai's mentors are eager explorers that object to staying in one location for long, urging their bearers toward ancient ruins to explore, relics to study, and discoveries to make. To this end, the wayfinder acts as a guide, making Survival checks on your behalf during your travels. A Vofalai's mentor also has the following activations.

Vofalai's Pouch
Item 6
Price 200 gp
Usage worn belt pouch; Bulk L
Category Consumable
This unobtrusive belt pouch is popular among Vofalais who operate in places where the Society is not welcome. It is constantly under the effects of a 3rd-level magic aura spell to appear non-magical. The pouch's normal space holds as much as an ordinary belt pouch, but it also has a small extradimensional space that holds up to 1 Bulk of items.
A creature actively inspecting the pouch in its ordinary state discovers the existence of the extradimensional space only on a critical success to Search the pouch (see the Concealing an Item action of the Stealth skill), though when the extradimensional space is active, it's obvious to anyone examining the pouch that it is more than it seems.

Voice from the Grave
Item 10
Price 1,700 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
Category Held
This onyx skull emits eerie whispers when on its own, but when held the skull enables you to speak with spirits and haunts you can see, even if you don't share a language. The voice from the grave translates anything the spirit or haunt says, using a language you understand, and translates your words for the spirit or haunt in kind. This doesn't make the target friendly or even cooperative, but it does enable communication. The GM determines the language in the case of a haunt. You can't communicate with mindless spirits using the skull.
If you target a haunt that doesn't have a Will modifier, it automatically gets a failure on its save.

Price 5 sp
Usage worn necklace; Bulk —
Category Worn Item
This box contains small, magical amplifiers that allow a non- verbal character to translate thought into speech, which emits from the necklace. The speech produced matches any language you understand.

Void Thousand-Pains Fulu
Item 20
Price 8,100 gp
Usage affixed to a creature; Bulk —
Duration 1 minute
Category Consumable
Created by a chirurgeon who threw away morality in search of endless life, a thousand-pains fulu blocks the natural flow of elements in the body. A creature to which the fulu is affixed must attempt a basic Fortitude save against damage determined by the fulu's type.
Failure or critical failure primes the target for persistent damage triggered by a specific condition that must be met within the fulu's duration.The black dot at the center of this purple fulu draws in energy like a bottomless hole. The DC is 38, and the fulu deals 12d10 negative damage by dissipating the target's ki. On a failure or critical failure, if the target takes any other damage within 1 minute, it takes 2d10 persistent negative damage as well. These effects have the death and negative traits. Each time the target takes this persistent damage, any creature within 30 feet of it can use a reaction to gain temporary Hit Points equal to the persistent damage taken, distributing the available temporary Hit Points among those that take the reaction. If the creature that affixed the fulu is within 30 feet, it instead gains all the available temporary Hit Points, if it wishes. These temporary Hit Points disappear after 1 minute.

Voratalo Liativeirn Emblem
Item 3
Price 60 gp
Usage tattooed on the body; Bulk —
Category Tattoo
These tattoos are created using designs and techniques from Liativeirn culture. Such tattoos often depict the Liativeirn rune for one of the seven schools of magic, but one might instead show a creature or celestial phenomenon associated with the school, depicted in traditional Liativeirn iconography.
The tattoo allows you to understand and speak Liativeirn. If you already know that language, you instead gain a +1 item bonus on Diplomacy checks you make when speaking Liativeirn to someone who understands it.
Each description lists the school of each Liativeirn emblem, and the tattoo has the trait of that school. The spell the tattoo can cast is from its school. As with the Virokral magic that was once so prevalent in Geifu, these tattoos lack a symbol of divination.
This rune of necromancy can cast purify food and drink.

Vorpal
Rune 17
Price 15,000 gp
Usage etched onto a slashing melee weapon
Category Rune
Originally created as a means of slaying the legendary jabberwock, vorpal weapons prove equally effective against nearly any foe with a head.

Vouzirn's Lasso
Item 4
Price 100 gp
Usage held in 2 hands; Bulk 1
Category Held
This enchanted lasso is a net (Advanced Player's Guide 249) that can be used to Grapple creatures up to 30 feet away, requires a DC 18 Athletics check to Force Open, and has an Escape DC of 18. It's permanently attached to a 30-foot rope.
While using the vouzirn's lasso to Grapple, you receive a +1 item bonus to Grapple checks against creatures with the chaotic trait. If you roll a critical failure on your attempt to Grapple a chaotic creature with the vouzirn's lasso, you get a failure instead.

Voyager's Pack
Item 17
Price 14,800 gp
Usage worn backpack; Bulk —
Category Worn Item
This leather rucksack has icons burned into it, and every time it's taken to a plane it hasn't been to before, a new icon representing that plane scorches into the surface. The pack grants you a +3 bonus to Survival checks.
It also enables you to see the magical traces of creatures' passage, allowing you to Track a creature that has teleported. The GM sets the DC of this check, usually using the level and DC of the teleportation spell. This lets you find the location of the creature's destination, and you can use that destination when casting teleport or activating the pack, even though you don't know what it looks like.
The pack contains an extradimensional space with the same properties as a type II bag of holding. This space contains the contents of a climber's kit. If any components of that kit are removed and not returned, they return to the pack at dawn each day.

Vravousak's Draft
Item 9
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
Activate Interact
Category Potion
A pickled lizard's tongue, tied into a knot, floats in this oily potion. When you drink it, you can speak and understand all spoken (but not written) languages for 1 hour. However, if you attempt to translate any spoken language, your translation is always erroneous in a way likely to cause substantial confusion or anger, typically reducing the listener's attitude toward you by one step. You aren't aware of your error, and any attempt to correct the mistake only compounds it.

Vriamobar Key
Item 22
Usage worn; Bulk —
Category Artifact
This palm-sized talisman hangs on a string of braided bark fibers. It resembles a leaf from some unknown tree similar to oak, carved from jade and then dipped halfway into black ink that looks wet despite feeling completely dry. The gate key was originally created to open the maelaedros known as the Seventh Arch. In recent years, corrupting magic has given it additional, stranger powers.
When you wear and invest the Vriamobar Key, shadows gather around you. You gain a +1 item bonus to Stealth checks. However, this boon comes with great risk:
any elf who touches the Vriamobar Key is immediately afflicted with the obnubilate curse (see below).
Destruction The Vriamobar Key's magic can be destroyed by exposing the artifact to uncontained teleportation energies. If touched to an unlinked or malfunctioning maelaedros, the Vriamobar Key causes the gate to connect to a new counterpart. If this happens, the key's magic leaves it, rendering the item useless (as described on page 65).
