Sigaeks Breath (magus armor)
Sigaeks Breath: This is the general name of the
Ceremonial magic of the
Occult Orders of the Steel Realms that creates a magical vestment tied to their order’s oaths and members. It is common enough to be known as part of the
Armor of the Steel Realms. There is a minor version of this defensive apparel that nearly all orders provide as part of their normal initiation and services to members, and a major version which augments and protects the occultist even more. It is woven of thread “doused in The Pattern and spun by breath’s of occultists in their waking dreams”. It is a robe or long cape with hood (capable of covering the wearer if needed). Each order also has a unique minor affect their members can evoke by virtue of their oaths and the sigil inscribed. The most famous of these, and most powerful in the realms is
Mexin’s Gold Ward.
