Surge Dampener

Hover over me!
Magical Surges
 
  Magical surges are when an excess amount of magical energy takes over the body. This condition is not unique to any specific type of magic - the effects are also (typically) temporary, but may affect individuals differently.   They can be incredibly damaging, slowly draining the life out of a person. They also regularly cause scarring, resembling the type of magic seen in the surge.

Surge dampeners are a special piece of equipment used to dampen, or completely nullify, the effects of a magical surge. Magical surges are often accidental, sometimes proving fatal. A surge dampener aims to keep the power-enhancing aspect of a magical surge, while preventing one's body, mind, and soul from deteriorating.

A surge dampener is a pair of bracelets worn tight around the wrists. When connected they release a bright burst of energy that can dampen local magical fields. When worn while a magical surge is induced, they absorb all of the excess magical energy that causes the deterioration.

One can purchase a surge dampener at your local apothecary, magical appliance shop, and they are even carried by many pop-up mages. Surge dampeners are easily acquirable and cost very little money, making them a good investment. A cheap dampener will need replacements, but a high quality one can last decades.
