Wand of the Wand
a Number of ideas for this...
Perhaps it could function like a wand of wonder, but with infinite charges, but requires PP to cast (increased spell cost for non-neutrals)
Alternately it could cast a random non-offensive spell without the ability to wrench the final charge, but it can be recharged.
equipped in the tool slot it would give +2ch +2ma and +10%PP (+4ch +4ma +20%pp)
Sword of the Sword (just kidding [or am I?]) (rune covered sabre)
Positive modifiers from Tactics settings are increased by 10%, costs to increase melee weapon skills are reduced by 20%, +1 le (doubled for sword sign)
(+2,5d6+6) [-4,+1] (-4,5d3+2) {St +3} (+3 spd) +Curs -Conf -Elec -Slee -Stun !Demo !Huma
Above are the stats for executor, which is the standard by which all artifact weapons ought to be measured. My instinct says bump them all down a little bit... maybe whatever the damage dice would be for an eternium sabre, or iron sabre with good suffix... definitely remove the +3st and +3spd as these are not traits from the sword sign, lose all the intrinsics and make it human and dragon slaying
cup of the cup (these names are getting tiresome...)
Equipped in tool slot gives gives 10% increase to experience points, receives one free skill advance every two levels, learns spells more effectively (20% better than others), +2 le
Added benefit that any potions drank while the cup of the cup is equipped in the tool slot are given a slight boost (+10% or so to effect or duration)
(all benefits doubled for cup sign)
