Instruments:

Instruments are the rarest of relics: staves, compasses, codices, and other crafted tools built not to rule or to slay, but to shape. They do not kill with weight nor sharpened edge, but with direction, channeling The Arcane like rivers through stone. It is whispered that some can open sealed doors that have waited centuries, while others amplify magicks until they warp the very air. These are not weapons in the traditional sense, but those who hold them carry influence as dangerous as any blade. Many are guarded by the The Arcane Coalition or buried in vaults so deep they may never see the sky again, for the simple reason that even a small Instrument in the wrong hands can unmake a city.
