Tangled Tree I see it in my dreams, sometimes.

1
The power to store things in a hidden stash.
Used by Harriet Kel, Created by Contracted_Pyre.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. You must actively and obviously be using Mirror.)

Harriet looks into a mirror, then to the object she wishes to store, then back to the mirror. The mirror's surface appears to reflect a tree (but Harriet is the only one who can see it), and the object is gone, grabbed by a mess of tree branches into nothingness.

Harriet uses a mirror to briefly open a physical path into the Mansus (the same place she summons all of her creatures from), there, in the Woods, is a lone tree. It's branches are a wild, tangled mess, rife with lost items. Harriet knows the secret you must tell it to be allowed what you have lost back into your possession.


Spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use Mirror to activate this Effect.

You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within 30 feet of you to your stash. You may only stash targets which are not possessed by someone else, and are freestanding and unattached.

You may store Objects in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters), and you may store up to 3 things at a time.

  • Containers which hold multiple things may count as a single item so long as the things within are generally packaged together. For instance, you may stash a clip full of bullets, a medical kit full of medical supplies, or a box of crackers, but you cannot stash a backpack full of miscellaneous equipment.
  • You may only attempt to store Objects which are free-standing and disconnected from other things. The use of this Effect will not allow you to sever any connections holding an Object in place.
  • The Maximum Object Size parameter is intended to roughly capture the weight / size restriction of items and isn’t intended to restrict shape. GM discretion is advised. A human being is level 4 in the Maximum Object Size parameter.
