A glistering coat of Merwyrm scales, the enchantment on this armour keeps it coated with a shimmering layer of briny sea water.

Arcane Items
Dug from beneath the Annuli Mountains, this crystal has been shaped by the magical vortex that swathes Ulthuan, so that it draws magical energy towards it.
During the enemy's Magic phase, the Annulian Crystal allows you to remove one dice from the opponent's Power dice pool and add it to your own Dispel dice pool.
The sigil is tattooed on the hand of the mage using inks prepared in the sacred flame of Asuryan itself. After use it quickly fades away until it is renewed in the sacred flames once again.
One use only. When an enemy cast a spell, the bearer may immediately counter its effects by reading the Sigil of Asuryan to release the spell written upon it instead of attempting to dispel the spell by using dispel dice. This gives them 6 free dice to attempt to dispel the spell, which cannot be combined with any other dispel dice. In addition, the spell is destroyed and the enemy caster loses access to the spell for the rest of the game (note that this has no effect on Innate Bound spells).
The origins of this ring are steeped in mystery, and no other artefacts of this powerful mage survive. However, few are the loremasters, wizards or warlocks that have not heard of it!

Hewn from the same rock that forms the waystones all over Ulthuan, the Vortex Shard has the power to becalm the Winds of Magic, if only for a moment.

This fine ruby glows blood red with a sorcerous energy that even the least magically adept can clearly see.
The Jewel of the Dusk gives the bearer +1 Power dice in each of your Magic phases. Only they may use this extra dice.
Few Elf Mages are devotees of Loec – the study of magic requires a less capricious patron. All those who seek favour of the Trickster wear a small pendant in his honour and such simple looking trinkets have unseen powers.
If an enemy Wizard suffers a Miscast, the bearer of the Trickster's Pendant can choose to make the Wizard re-roll the result on the Miscast Table.

Enchanted Items
The Null Stone is a plain black rock, rough-hewn and undecorated. Those with the witch-sight see it as a dark void, an unsealing patch of nothingness in the world of magic.

The gem is normally kept in a black velvet bag, carefully hiding its brilliance from prying eyes.

Loec the Trickster is seldom worshipped on the battlefield by the High Elves, for his help always comes at a price.
One use only. The Talisman of Loec may be used at the start of any close combat phase. Until the end of the phase, the bearer may re-roll all failed rolls To Hit and wound, and any model wounded by their attacks must re-roll all successful Armour Saves, Ward Saves and Regeneration saves. However, at the end of the phase, the bearer loses half of their remaining Wounds (rounding down) with no saves of any kind allowed.
