• Description:

This is a circlet made of radium runes and electrum. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. This is an energeia kephale, an item that became popular with magi of Xintatlaa at the height of that civilization, but for which the enchantment technique has been long lost. Energon kephalai afford their bearers a certain procedural knowledge of esoteric energy channels, allowing them to execute simple but effective telesmatic attacks as a matter of course. They are not particularly energetically efficient, requiring fairly large amounts of spiritual energy for their effect. They were popular more as an easy means of magickal self-defense than a studied or refined technique for prolonged or repeated combat engagement. Despite this, they are still often sought after by those who need access to unusual types of energy: the circlets were occasionally constructed by a mage who desired a unique effect as a sort of flourish or signature. This required enchanting the device with flashy, difficult-to-generate energies, and these energies are often incidentally quite useful when faced with beings not harmed by more mundane effects. The inside of the circlet is inscribed with stylized versions of four letters: sigma, rho, epsilon, and sigma. This particular kephale is Euphoria Kephela, a crown worn by the Empress of Xintatlaa, empowered by the eskara that once fueled a magick-driven Xintatlaan economy. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance. It is in perfect condition. It is intermediate in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It appears to you as if it was crafted for a human. It looks about a twentieth of a dimin across and one and three fifths dimins around. It weighs about three fiftieths of a dekan. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold.
