Totem of Teleportation

Totem of Teleportation
Magic Item [Very Rare, Teleportation]
Type: Wondrous Item (Totem)
Rank: 7 (Potency 70)
Properties
This totem has two sockets that can have gems inserted to give greater effects. By placing a gem of appropriate value into the totem (Standard Action [REC 1]), you can augment its properties. The type of gem determines the effect it has on the Totem's teleportation properties and the energy cost required to perform the action. If the gem used does not meet the minimum required value (listed below), the augmentation doesn't function.
Special Actions
Teleport
Immediate Action
Limitation: Once per day
Effect: You teleport yourself up to 100ft, to a location within your Line of Sight. If gems are equipped within the sockets of the Totem, gain the following benefit for each gem (max 2):
  • Sustainable Totem [Ruby (250gp), 1 Stamina Burn]: This use of the Teleportation Totem does not count towards its limit of once per day.
  • Distant Totem [Sapphire (250gp), 2 Stamina Burn]: Increase the range of the Teleport to 10 miles. If two Sapphires are used this becomes 100 miles. You must be able to see the location or have visited it at least once.
  • Encompassing Totem [Emerald (500gp), 1 Stamina Burn per Target]: You may teleport up to 5 additional creatures you touch at the time of the Totems activation.
  • Planeshift Totem [Diamond (1,000gp), 5 Stamina Burn]: You may teleport to a plane of your choice or an unfamiliar location on your current plane (within approx. 500 ft of desired location).

Description

This Totem has several designs, but appears most often as a statuette of a small set of ornate double doors with open sockets for doorknobs on each door. When an appropriately enchanted gem is placed in a nob slot, the item's powers can be used.


Lore

The Totem of Teleportation was devised as a way to create fast ( if not cheap) transportation for those without the ability to do so themselves. Typically these are seen in the hands of adventurers and nobility who have a need for such expedient travel, but since the nature of its operation tends to be so costly, few without significant financial means are found using it.
