Cypher: Graviton ring

A ring of some jet-black material that is cold to the touch; it can be activated by twisting it forcefully, creating a gravitational pulse that crushes everything within long range except the user, dealing 9 damage to everything affected. Flying creatures are hurled to the ground, and those standing must make a Might check to avoid being slammed prone.
Cypher Level: 9

Oddity: Massive D12

A twelve-sided object roughly the size of a fist, crafted from some dark stone that is cool to the touch. Each face bears a different glyph, each self-luminous in a slightly different color. It is much heavier than it appears, and would make a good improvised weapon were it not so awkwardly shaped.

Oddity: Pie Cavalier

This unbreakable glass figurine of a human atop a riding animal strikes an exceptionally heroic pose, clearly caught in mid-charge toward some dastardly foe. The figure's lowered lance has an exceptionally tough and colorful banner hanging from it, with a stylized depiction of a pie represented upon it.

Cypher: Stasis Fruit

This lush red fruit is most commonly encountered in the form of an apple. Biting into it places the eater into a state of suspended animation until a sufficiently strong external stimulus is applied to wake the comatose individual. Certain Aeon Priests theorize that these cyphers were created to handle children who were critically ill, as the suspended animation halts aging, until such time as their ailments could be cured.

Cypher: Storm Bottle

This is a half-meter metal cone with a heavy cylinder attached at the narrow end. Activating it causes a powerful wind to rush out of the open end of the cone. It acts as a level 6 force to knock prone anything in the wind's path, out to a short range.
Cypher Level: 6

Cypher: Repetition Cogs

These brassy coglike rings interlock neatly; they can be activated by turning them while facing a creature. If activated, it forces the victim to repeat their last action for another two rounds.
Cypher Level: 2

Link

Oddity: Pandemonium Stone

This small black rock is riddled with worming holes. It shrieks and wails eerily at the touch of even the slightest breeze, producing a much louder sound than it should be capable of producing.

Oddity: Light Crystal

This is solid light in the shape of a large quartz crystal, cool to the touch. The transmitting device is irretrievably lodged in the center of the crystal, and shows no signs of running out of power in the foreseeable future.

Link

Artifact: Astral Blade

This longsword is composed of a fluid-seeming silvery metal. It deals 4 Intellect damage on a successful hit, and will evict both ultraterrestrials and native lifeforms of the Strange from normal reality and uncompromised recursions for 1 minute. Depletion: 1-2 in 100.
Artifact Level: 4

Link

Oddity: Fire Shard

This appears to be a crystalline piece of fire. It radiates light as if it were a flickering candle, is warm to the touch, and both tastes and smells like ash.

Link

Cypher: Aquatic Breath

This waxy object is a spongy mass filled with a slightly salty liquid. If chewed, the waxy coating breaks and the spongy mass releases the liquid into the user's mouth, granting them the ability to breathe underwater for the next 28 hours.
Cypher Level: 3

Link

Oddity: Sensate Mirror

This hand-sized mirror perfectly reflects all sensory information when viewed, permitting the holder to experience anything reflected in it. A popular use is to experience oneself as if they were another.

Cypher: Sleep Replenisher

This silvery metallic lozenge can be placed under the user's tongue; on contact with salive it will dissolve, releasing fatigue-clearing nanites into the user's bloodstream. After one minute, the user's Recovery rolls are restored as if they had just had a good night's sleep.
Cypher Level: 3

Link

Oddity: Memory Globe

This glassy ovoid sits snugly in one hand. When not in contact with a living creature, it simply has a faint luminosity filling it. When touched, it fills with an image displaying the single happiest moment of the user's life up to this point in time.

Link

Created for Monte Cook's 46th birthday in thanks for his efforts in creating the Cypher System.

Artifact: Entropy Blade

This artifact is composed of a rough hilt of some kind of brassy metal, cold to the touch at all times, and a long knife blade composed of a form of crystallized entropy. It counts as a light weapon, dealing 2 damage that bypasses all armor on a successful strike. Depletion: 1 in 100.
Artifact Level: 4

Link

Cypher: Force Rod

This long, thin metal rod is textured to be gripped at one end, tapering to a rounded point at the other end. If successfully activated, it projects five luminous bolts of blue-white force that each strike for one damage. Each missile may be directed at a different target, and each strikes unerringly, bypassing non-energy Armor.
Cypher Level: 6

Link

Oddity: Radiance Shard

This hand-sized shard of glass is smooth to the touch, and is filled with an intense rainbow light. It appears as if it contains an entire universe of radiance within it, shifting and churning in an ever-changing display.
