The Star Wars universe is fun and, like D&D or Lord of the Rings, has that particular positive quality that you can settle…

  • The Wrathbreakers have destroyed the deepcult leadership, killing their Demiurge and looting her laboratory. Amongst her documents they have found a set of scrolls that describe a ritual that is likely at the heart of the deepcult’s plans.

Anyone who touches it will immediately know it is vile. Effect: When used as a wand or focus for deep magic, increases the range and power of spells that animate or activate…
