So I was thinking about Futurama the other day and I got an idea for a few somewhat useful magical items based on random stuff from Futurama.
The Wrist Lojackometer
In the episode where Hermes is replaced by another bureaucrat and they end up taking Bender's personality chip. When they infiltrate the Bureaucrat headquarters, Leela pulls a little thing out of the thing she wears on her wrist and puts it in a tube that leads to the master sorting pile. So my idea was this.
Description: The wrist lojackometer is a bracer or armlet that has a faint magical aura. On it, there is a small pin that fits the general motif of the armlet or bracer (say the bracer has seashells and pearls, the pin would, too, or if the bracer had leaves and forest animals and such, the pin would be a fox head or something). Once identified by magic, it is apparent what the object does.
Effect: Once the pin is removed from the bracer, by extending the arm wearing the bracer and pointing in any direction, the bracer will tell you in an emotionless voice "Cold", "Warmer" or "Hot", with increased rapidity the closer it is to "Hot", to indicate which direction the pin is in. The item is useful for locating other members of the party, and while still attached to the bracer, the wearer can consciously choose to change the appearance of the pin to other things, such as a badge, buckle, or button, for the purpose of say sewing it into the shirt of a certain person you wish to track. In addition, the Bracer can determine which direction is north at any time.
And the other item is one that needs a lot more work and will have different grades or types, like a bag of holding. It is:
The Finglonger
Description: This item is a yellow glove made out of a smooth, sort of squeaky material (like rubber) that goes halfway down the forearm and only covers the thumb and forefinger. It has a varying magical aura.
Effect: When worn by a spellcaster, this glove provides a bonus on attack rolls for touch spells, depending on the strength of the item (I'm thinking +1, +2, and +3, but maybe more or less) and in addition, a certain number of times per day (I'm thinking for now, anyway, unless someone has a better idea), the forefinger can stretch and extend the reach of melee touch attacks, so for instance, a cleric with the least kind of finglonger could use it to deliver an inflict light wounds spell with a +1 to the attack roll and he could do it from five feet away.
Okay, so for these, I need some critiquing, some prices, and possibly some varying types for the finglonger.
While I'm posting this, can someone tell me what PEACH means?
