Antikythera Mechanism (Incomplete)
Artifact Rarity
The Antikythera Mechanism is a strange device acting as a compact Orrery, used to track time, dates and astrological events both in the past and future.
The Antikythera Mechanism grants a +5 Proficiency bonus to Intelligence (Arcana), Wisdom (Insight for Astrology), Intelligence (Nature) and a +5 Proficiency Bonus for all Wisdom (Survival) checks relating to navigation.
If the Antikythera Mechanism is researched in person by anyone with at least 10 score in Intelligence (History), Intelligence (Investigation), or Intelligence (Arcana), it will become apparent that the Antikythera Mechanism is able to hold additional components. These component Gears can be found or forged individually.
Planar Gears (Assorted)
Rare Rarity
The Antikythera Mechanism has various tracks to hold multiple Gears representing each Plane in the Great Wheel. Each Gear added to the Mechanism grants the user a +3 Intelligence (Insight for the Plane), Survival for the given Planar Gear added to the Mechanism.
(A Planar Gear for the Elemental Plane of Fire, for example, will grant the bonuses while on the Plane of Fire, but have no effect when navigating the Abyss)
Antikythera Mechanism, Axion
Very Rare Rarity
When all 27 Planar Gears (One for each Transitive, Inner and Outer plane) are assembled onto the Antikythera Mechanism, It becomes the the Antikythera Mechanism Axion. Radiating Strong Abjuration, Conjuration and Divination magic, the Mechanisms and it's gears previous bonuses to skill checks become +5, and confer the same bonuses to Survival and Wisdom (Insight on the Planes) to Any Demi-plane the owners encounter.
Antikythera Mechanism Axion now acting as a perfect engine of replicating the Great Wheel allows the owner to use Plane Shift at will, if the User spends an hour calculating Planar drift and makes a DC 25 Intelligence (Investigation) check plus Arcana, they will be able to Plane shift without error, even if they have not visited the location before, providing they have some knowledge of their destination. Furthermore the Antikythera Mechanism Axion acting as an Anchor for the owner, will emit a 10-ft. Radius bubble replicating a condition hospitable to it's owners home plane. It cannot however visit alternate Material planes, all attempts to do so will return the user to their Home plane.
3 times per day, if the Axion is used in conjunction with a Profession (Astrology) check, taking one hour, it will have the following results: DC 10, the Axion provides an answer as if they had cast the Augury Spell. DC 15, the Axion provides an answer as if they had cast the Divination Spell. DC 20, the Axion provides an answer as if they had cast the Legend Lore spell. DC 25, the Axion casts Foresight Spell on the user.
If the Axion is researched in person by anyone with at least 20 ranks in Knowledge (History), Knowledge (Architecture & engineering), or Knowledge (Arcana), it will become apparent that there is a final piece that can fit into the mechanism.
Prime Core
Legendary Rarity
On it's own the Prime core is a small rod of 1 Foot length made of platinum capped with Gold on one end, and silver on the other. If the silver cap is pressed, the Prime Core will act as an Immovable rod. If the Gold cap is pressed, it will cast a Maximized Time-Stop affecting anyone touching the rod at the time once per day.
If the Prime Core is researched in person by anyone with at least 20 ranks in Wisdom (Insight for Astrology) or Intelligence (Arcana), it will become apparent that it is the final piece of the Antikythera Mechanism Axion.
Completed Antikythera Mechanism
Can only be acquired by uniting all the pieces and spending 12,000 gp per day, over the course of 7 days worth of assembly. You require Arcana to start assembling.
Once the Antikythera Mechanism is assembled with all 27 gears and the Prime core, it gains the following new functions:
When completed, the Antikythera Mechanism is now able to transport its owner and everyone within 10 ft of its protective anchor through time, as per the Portal Through Time spell once per day. Finally, it may now teleport the owner and all within the Anchor area to Alternate Material Planes, however, they will suffer the usual displacement error as per the Plane Shift spell.
