Item Name: Unknown (Keith calls it The Watch)
Item type: Watch
How it was made: built from some silver on the full moon (cause everyone knows the full moon is special lol) and infused with a variety of charms by several wizards at once.
How you came into contact with it: Keith's dad bought it from a muggle flea market where it was on display as a useless decoration. He sensed some latent magical energy and bought it, giving to Keith shortly after he was born.
Magical abilities: The watch, which has appeared to be broken since before Keith received it, has been lighting up and spinning wildly since Keith brought it to Hogwarts. That's all he knows right now, but the actual description is below.
- Spoiler:
The watch actually has an odd assortment of uses, a "magical swiss army knife" you could say. It lights up and spins wildly when in contact with a thick magical residue*. It also has the ability to sense powerful magical abilities and emotions, though Keith has not yet worked out that function yet. Finally, it has the ability to tap into very deep wells of magical residue and replay the scenes out (For example, Keith might be able to actually watch the very first DA meeting, with so many spells and excitement and nervousness running so high, of course he would have to be in the room of requirement) However Keith can't make it do this yet.
Ill effects include dizziness, mood swings (the watch might affect his moods depending on what it's sensing) confusion, tiredness. The symptoms will get more acute as he learns to access other functions, though he can stop them b not using the watch (right now he can only do that by taking it off)
Roleplay sample: Keith shook his head, grimacing. The headaches were getting worse, and more frequent, and now he was even having mood swings.
Is this puberty? He thought to himself.
'Cause I don't think the voice change is worth it. He stumbled bit, sitting down on a bench and putting his head in his hands. It was then that he noticed the watch. It was spinning wildly, and giving off a pulsing, blue glow. He stared at it.
Weird. He looked at it intensely, and suddenly a voice shot through his head.
I love you too Sam! *magical residue: When a spell is cast, it leaves an imprint which fades in time, the speed depending on several factors. (mainly the strength of the spell, the intensity of the situation, etc. etc.) In a place thick with magical history (Hogwarts especially) intense magical residue is almost everywhere.[i]
