RNG Freestyle Prompting with Seventh Sanctum: Magic Item Generator

Welcome travellers!

Its been a busy week with all writing projects. I have had a chance to work on some game design projects that I am hyped about. It has been a long time since I have worked on a project that has had a cohesive throughput. This has really cracked my head open about how I actually make a World Design project happen. Not just for a game, but simply: What does it take to have "a world like ours". This process can be described and combed over but when all is said and done, randomness is really what describes a good shoreline... a good history... a good background... a good story arc. Sometimes the mere fact that it is random; gives you the right to open up your current paradigm and ponder it for a moment: "Can I make this part of the system without messing up the goal?".
It is easy to forget how to leap out of the dynamics of our Historical Framework when the events are being created by the story itself. It would be like the universe being created by the action of us walking through it. The scaffolding, as I like to call it, of creating a comprehensive Historical Framework is imperative to being able to insert any event into the current timeline without having to worry about it disrupting the structure future timeline events, even if the events are ridiculous(as we are about to explore). Obviously some of the process is the fact that I am taking a humorous "Magical Item" from a randomizer(Seventh Sanctum: Random Magic Item Generator) and turning it into a serious situation that a leaning-fantasy written work, or game could take and turn into a living breathing chronicle.

PLEASE USE ANY OF THESE IDEAS FOR YOUR PROJECTS!
I would love to hear about them too!
Lets write one of these together?! and split the profits on an eventual, high quality, rapidly designed story. Or keep it all for yourself and show me pictures of yourself in Maui holding one of the hard covers! I Love it! Lets do this!



RNG Freestyle Prompting with Seventh Sanctum by M.K. 20/8/2015

So let us begin..

Pardon any bad grammar... this is not meant to be pretty, just a concept flow exercise.

Bone Forging Chaotic Knives of Darkness

These knives draw a man in and prove to be the difference in winning a decisive battle. The blows from his blades were somehow very deep and caused horrific wounds in some cases. He begins to have pause in using the knives but is lured to use them over and over -by the knives themselves, to "save the day". He eventually leaves his homeland the knows and loves him for his victories, because part of him knows that he must take the evil he feels brewing inside him, out away from those he loves... and part of him is going insane...




Immovable Aura of Stone

That giant stone that has been in the courtyard of the palace is not, in fact, a stone at all. Centuries of the strongest men and machine tried to break this stone with not even a single crack to report. Fortunes were lost on bets against the strength of this "Stone". In reality, deep inside the "stone" lies one of the worlds most ancient and sought after relics, lost right under their noses. Maybe you figured out the riddle that it wasn't stone, and there was a scientific/magical explanation for it... it was covered in a [scientific/magical] clay that produced and Aura of Stone, completely impenetrable. Magic can be shut off though. but do we want to open it?....


The Lordly Witchery of the Angry Chameleon

The whole kingdom is under a wicked spell. They spurned the wrong guy. The anger and resentment built until one day... When all else failed; The King wilingly hands down his crown, and in public, to a simple, small chameleon. He can't wear it due to the size, so he orders -by way of "Intensely Purposeful Posing and Eyeballing". the king to lay the crown down on top of him (the only thing that will make the spell permanent is touching the Crown. It works... but now he is stuck. If he wants to move, the spell is broken and he is no longer king.




Ethereal Curse of "Transform Dust"

This poor kid has lived their entire squalid life from the gutter of a down and out town known for bleak prospects. Nothing good every happened to the kid -nothing of any real note, until one day [he/she] finds themselves wandering into the dusty, dark desert. Her mind was wandering and wandering as she filed out absently into the emptiness of the parched landscape. The further she gets from the town the more her thoughts drift out of darkness. One special, particular moment, everything came to a hault and she looked up and around -It was HOT, and BRIGHT. The Dust was gone? And then she saw it. The whole town was shrouded in dust. And then when darkness and worry starts to fill her mind, the dust returns to her and blocks out the sunlight. She discovers that the whole town is under a curse - but it hinged on belief. The moment she believed that the dust was under her control, and that it was based on her emotions, she was able to control it. Convincing others in the town may prove to be considerably more difficult.





Lordly Glass of Darkness

A spiteful king, who trusted no one, commissions a magical Windows(glass) they he can look out of from his throne and see in a clear way, all of those who would plot to kill him or his family. Upon completion, the king looks through the window to see the whole kingdom was plotting against him. This was not entirely true. Of course there were quite a few groups that did indeed want to see the king overthrown or beheaded. A tiny fraction of them go about going through with anything. The king has had such a tight grip on the kingdom, only the most wealthy and connected people were allowed to "do as they please". However, one of the "tiny fraction" is the Wizard who made the window for the King. Deeply resentlful of the king, and a leader of the cause against him, this Wizard made the window show everyone who was on the kings side. The king proceeds to launch a campaign of brutal assassinations against his "enemies" and turmoil erupts on both sides of his once-great kingdom.





Blasphemous Bracer of the Healer

A cursed/bio locked arm band is found by a priest of an old forgotten sect of healers. Their ways have slowly been eroded to the point where they really only are able to offer "Spiritual healing". The priest, in a moment of distress, starts seeking out an ancient relic from within the walls of the temple that might actually be able to heal the sick/dying. He tries everything, to a point of ludicrousness. Then the "Holy Bracer" is finally ripped off of the statue it had been placed on (the hand had to be broken off, upsetting everyone) and left for centuries. It locks to his arm and can't be removed. He feels a new energy inside him, accompanied by a feeling of having another soul trapped inside him. He goes to work and it starts healing wounds and curing sickness(it was bad, a war or something), but someone keeps saying the most disrespectful and lewd things possible. "You gonna eat that?" -after an amputation... "Liar, your here for the free meal.." after an obvious death. It gets worse, but the healing never ends.
