Lucky Charm, OFB Standard

While officially classed as a Class IV minor artefact, the charm is unusually reactive in possession of a Fatumatici Fortunati. Rather than granting traditional protection or luck, it acts as a focus and stabiliser for innate fate-based magic — a kind of metaphysical rudder that ensures chaotic "luck" doesn’t spiral too wildly out of control.

The charm:

• Smooths random probability fluctuations, nudging outcomes slightly in the wearer’s favour
• Blunts magical interference tied to Fatumantia spells or hexes
• Slightly reduces the frequency of his more spectacular backlashes
• Occasionally warms moments before something improbable occurs

Its effects are subtle, rarely dramatic, and completely unreliable if observed too closely — typical of fate-aligned artefacts.

Materials & Components

• Pressed four-leaf clover, harvested under specific astrological alignment
• Twin alchemical glass plates, tempered for magical resonance and inscribed with arcane fate-symbols using silver-etching tools
• Lead solder frame, hand-shaped and sealed with protective tinctures (ironroot oil, wormwood essence) to prevent spiritual corrosion
• Etched magenta-glowing glyphs, connected to minor fate channels (Runes of Flow, Chance, Binding and Clarity), activated by proximity to wielder’s aura
• Copper thread inlay, woven into the inner solder seam to improve conductivity between charm and personal fate resonance

Tooling

The creation of the Lucky Charm required a combination of arcane craftsmanship and traditional metal- and glassworking techniques, including:

• Arcane Etching Needle, silver-tipped, for engraving fate glyphs into alchemical glass
• Alchemical Press, used to flatten and preserve the four-leaf clover under protective pressure and minimal aether distortion
• Runic Alignment Compass, to calibrate the placement of glyphs according to the wielder’s resonance field
• Glass Soldering Iron, fine-point, operated at low heat with charm-safe flux compounds
• Tincture Brushes, made from bog-fox hair, for the careful application of protective oils (e.g., ironroot, nightmint)
• Copper Threading Wand, to weave the conductive filament into the inner seam
• OFB Serial Stamper, for certification and bureaucratic binding
• Optional but traditional: Seer’s Whisper Shell, used by charm-makers to “listen” for sympathetic resonance before sealing
