Box of Lead (3)
This box is made of wood with metal corners and coverings, all detailed with intricate metal/woodwork. The box has dimensions of a medium-sized jewelry box (10 cm high by 25 cm wide by 15 cm long). Anything placed inside (up to three items the size of a two liter bottle) can be stored there (Correspondence effect). The box prevents the sensing of whatever is placed inside of it including Talismans and Fetishes. It is not known whether it will work on artifacts. However, any items placed inside of it must yield one point of Quintessence each, or the mage must provide it. If the Quintessence is not provided the box is just an ordinary box. (Corr. 3, Mind 3, Prime 3)
Book of Dreamer's Delight (2)
This book will yield information on a subject of the possessor's wish. A character in possession of the book rolls a dice pool of (Research + Enigmas) ÷ 2 (round up) + Int. Difficulty determined by Storyteller based on the obsurity of the knowledge. However, the information has a price. The book requires a steady source of Quintessence to continue to be used. Also, the book can only be consulted on a single subject each day (much like the Dream Background). The book can provide 5 study points per week of study.
