An Old Scroll CaseFront
A leather scroll case, cracked and age-worn.
Inside is a tattered letter and a pair of small, bluish ingots. It's a letter, in an older Hillfolk dialect, from an apprentice to their master. It describes a mental exercise to draw latent power from aetherium.
You can learn Laoj Daveth's Galvanic Infusion from the scroll, but…
Laoj Daveth's Galvanic InfusionReverse
When you touch a piece of aetherium and draw its power into yourself, roll +CON: on a 7+, you absorb the power and gain HP (even if this puts you above your max HP); but on a 7-9, the aetherium is drained and crumbles into a chalky mass of verdigris. The spell lasts until you dismiss it or until you roll a 6- on any move. While it lasts, you need not sleep and remain highly alert and focused—gain advantage on any rolls with WIS.
If you remain awake for more than a few days, your body grows ever more exhausted and you risk hallucination, paranoia, and addiction.
When the spell ends, you lose HP.
