The new year has arrived and with it, the clock started ticking from the beginning once more. The January items of the month are here and they have the theme of time and steampunk! Hopefully they will bring their new owners joy into the 2018.
As a reminder, the aesthetical item (Time's Heart in this case) and summoning keys do not take up any equipment slots. The other items do and count like any other equipment.

- Item:
Name:
Time's Heart
Rank:
User's Rank
Type:
Mechanical heart
Description & Appearance:
The Time's heart is an extremely impressive piece of machinery that works with magic instead of any other energy. The true origin of these is not known, but they are quite rare and very useful to those that wish to always have time on their side. Very difficult to make and powerful, they are not exactly common and give the one who holds it partial control over time itself. Or so it seems, at least. Many started to believe that the heart does not actually stop time, but instead accelerate brain of the user, or even forms an illusion inside of their brain. Whichever one of these is the truth, the results cannot be argued with regardless.
Strengths:- Provides a powerful time-stopping ability to whoever holds the heart in their hand
- Due to the nature of time stop, no one can notice this ability being actually used
Weaknesses:- Activation of the heart requires to user to hold it in their hands, exposing it to the enemy
- While the item can be used in combat, its ability won't actually allow the user to completely dominate the battlefield
- Due to the heart's power, it can only be used once per thread
Abilities:
Name: Everlasting world
Rank: User's Rank
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: Once per thread
Description: If one holds the mechanical heart in their hand and squeezes it, the mechanism inside will start working and activate a powerful spell. This spell can only be used once per thread, but it will completely stop time of the entire world. The user will appear outside of their own frozen body as a ghost and will be able to walk around in the maximal burst range for the spell's rank. While in this form, they cannot interact with anything, nor can they use any of their other abilities and spells, but are free to observe the stopped world in any way they wish. At the end of the user's post, the ability ends and time starts running again, forcing the user back into their body. Everyone else will not notice this ability, however.PRICE: 10,000 JewelsSTOCK: ∞- Provides a powerful time-stopping ability to whoever holds the heart in their hand
- Weapon:
Name:
Lucky Shot
Rank:
Artifact(+)
Type:
Bow
Description & Appearance:
A weapon that was masterfully crafted using only magically altered metals and other materials. This bow is nothing short of magnificent, as it's shooting mechanism allows even the weakest of individuals to release fully powered shots that travel at the user's singe-target maximal speed and range. But while that by itself is something quite impressive, the true power lies within the magical enchantments that were placed on these weapons. An easy must-have for fans of the modern magical weaponry!
Strengths:- The bow has several spikes in the front, making melee attacks actually possible with this weapon
- Thanks to a mechanism in the bow itself, anyone can fire arrows at full force without having to excerpt any strength
Weaknesses:- Despite having spikes in the front, performing melee attacks with a bow is still somewhat awkward
- Due to its intricate design, the bow might actually get in the way out of combat
- Due to moving cogs inside, this bow produces more noise and is less suitable for stealth as result
Abilities:
Name: Time Dilation
Rank: S
Duration: Passive
Cooldown: Passive / Once per post
Description: It was only fitting to fit a bow made out of metals and cogs with a powerful enchantment that can warp the time itself. With this passive ability, the user can fire up to 5 different arrows with nearly no time in-between each attack once every single post. When this is done, they will appear as a blur that fired all those arrows at once to everyone around. Each of these arrows fired will deal weapon's regular damage enhanced by 50%, along with melee damage as any regular strike would.
Name: Luck of the Shot
Rank: A
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: An attack that first appears as any other regular shot. However, the enemy will soon find out that the arrow is actually tracking them. Not only that, it will also pierce through the enemy and change its target. The first foe hit with this will receive 100% of A-ranked spell damage, the second 75%, third 50% and fourth 25%. Once four enemies are hit, the arrow breaks and thus cannot hit anyone else. The homing attribute is not lost for the entire attack duration, though the arrow has only enough speed to last for as long as an instant attack would, hitting only those that are constantly present in the radius of 225 meters around the user. The arrow also travels at the speed of 165 m/s.
Strengths:- An attack that can enemies regardless of their position around the user
- Piercing properties that allow the arrow to damage up to four different foes as long as they're in range
Weaknesses:- Damage dealt by the fired around decreases with each target it hits, eventually breaking completely
- While homing, the arrow still cannot follow enemies outside of its maximal range
- The arrow only remains in the air for a moment, unable to hit those who enter its range the post after it was fired
PRICE: 300,000 Jewels or 15 CCSTOCK: 1- The bow has several spikes in the front, making melee attacks actually possible with this weapon
- Armor:
Name:
The Watcher
Rank:
Legendary(+)
Type:
Goggles
Description & Appearance:
These simple goggles are much more than they appear at first. Outside of being useful to anyone who wishes to take a closer look at whatever object they might have, the glass in this piece of equipment is capable of looking through the time itself, providing couple of considerable advantages to whoever is using them. Not to mention that they can be incredibely fashionable with the right outfit added to them!
Strengths:- It's possible to use these in day to day life, as they can work as magnifying glass
Weaknesses:- Unlike most armors, this one has trouble actually protecting one's body when not using any abilities
- Can be a little questionable choice of fashion if not used with a proper outfit
Abilities:
Name: Prediction - Defense
Rank: A
Duration: 7 posts
Cooldown: 8 posts
Description: Whoever looks through the lenses of these goggles becomes capable of witnessing both the past and future of whatever they are looking at. If specifically focused, the user will have their vision split into the current time and several seconds ahead. This will allow them to predict and avoid incoming attacks with ease. However, there is a limit to this power. During the entire duration, the user can only dodge 3 spells of their rank, 1 spell one rank above the user or 6 spells below their rank. These numbers cannot be mixed and only one of the categories has to be chosen. Any melee attacks could as below the user's rank.
Strengths:- Allows the user to perfectly avoid a number of attacks directed at them from the enemy
- Can be used to avoid an attack that is one single rank above the user of these goggles
Weaknesses:- As only the person with goggles can see the future, only they alone can dodge the incoming attacks. This ability cannot help allies in any way, even if the user tries to warn them
- Unlike regular barrier spell, the user has to RP out dodging the attack rather than just blocking it
- Only one of the rank categories has to be chosen for this ability, no mix and match
Name: Prediction - Offense
Rank: B
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Whoever looks through the lenses of these goggles becomes capable of witnessing both the past and future of whatever they are looking at. With such power, it is not too difficult to see through the enemy's defenses. After activating this ability, the next attack performed by the user will deal 50% more damage as long as it's performed within the duration.
Strengths:- Gives the user an edge in the battle with an ability to see the enemy's movement and strike them in their weak point for greater damage
Weaknesses:- Makes only one attack more powerful, not more
- Has to be carefully chosen with the right ability to hit
PRICE: 60,000 Jewels or 3 CCSTOCK: 1- It's possible to use these in day to day life, as they can work as magnifying glass
- Pet:
Name:
Avalon
Rank:
Legendary(+)
Species:
Ancient Construct
Type:
Combat pet
Description & Appearance:
This ancient construct was unearthed in ruins near Neutral Grounds. A true marvel of ancient technology and magic, this golem comes in male or female variant. Through some unknown programming, this creature is also sentient and perfectly capable of speech if it chooses to use it, easily communicating with its master or anyone else. The whole construct is about the same size as an avarage human male and is capable of controlling partial time and space magic. It also uses magical energy to float slightly above ground in order to move around rather than to walk like most other creatures. nPersonality of this construct is up to whoever manages to get their hands on one, so you needn't worry about not getting along. In other words, a loyal companion that will always do its best to have your back!
Abilities:
Name: Time leap
Rank: A
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: Time magic can be quite similar to death magic in a certain sense. Especially with a spell like this, where Avalon creates a giant illusion of clock above itself. This clock sends out a wave of time forwarding magic 110 m/s, covering the area of 150 meters. Anyone caught within this wave of magic will experience their cells rapidly aging and dying, instantly receiving full A-ranked damage.
Strengths:- A powerful AoE spell that damages anyone who is not fast enough to retreat
- Does not leave behind any visible wounds
Weaknesses:- The illusion of clock is a necessary part of the spell and can warn all enemies that something big is coming
- Despite forcing one's body to age, this spell can still be stopped by barriers and the like as any other attack spell
- Can only be used to move time forward and cause damage, not move time backwards to cause healing
Name: Time forward
Rank: B
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Avalon is capable of partially forwarding time of itself and those around it. This one specific forward is not meant to harm others, but work as utility. Either Avalon itself or a single ally within 200 meters can effectively teleport with this ability up to 35 meters away from the original position.
Strengths:- An effective teleport ability that can be used on the pet itself or an ally
Weaknesses:- While classed as teleport, the spell only forwards time and one's position. As such, one cannot use this ability to get behind walls or locked doors
- Only one individual can use this ability before the cooldown activates
PRICE: 60,000 Jewels or 3 CCSTOCK: 1- A powerful AoE spell that damages anyone who is not fast enough to retreat
- Summoning Key:
Name:
Time fairy, Astra
Rank:
User's Rank (Caps at S)
Type:
Summoning Key
Description & Appearance:
Astra can be summoned through a peculiar bronze key, one that does not quite fall under the two usual categories of silver or golden summoning keys. Aside from its rather unusual material and color, the key also bears a number of decorations that are in the theme of the fairy that can be summoned with it. Small gears and cogs adorn its surface, as well as a pair of colorful wings that leave a trail all the way to the key's head and carry two beautiful crystals. The key as a whole is very light and can be stored just about anywhere. To use it, one simply has to pour their magical energy into it and call the time fairy, Astra forth. She will come without a fail and aid her summoner in just about any task, as long as it's within her abilities to do so.
The fairy herself is quite a special one. Unlike all of her kin, Astra was born without any wings and thus unable of flight. And yet, she never gave up on the dream of taking to the skies and with a great done of determination and ingenuity, she eventually created mechanical wings that are now attached to her back. Still, she can be a fair bit sensitive because of this and highly dislikes being left out of a group. She is very loyal and fairly carefree, but always wants to pursue an adventure if one is in the sight!
Abilities:
Name: Rewind
Rank: User's Rank (Caps at S)
Duration: 7 posts
Cooldown: 8 posts
Description: A powerful time manipulating ability that can rewind the clock on every living object in the area of 200 meters. Upon activation, all allies to the fairy will be instantly healed by 75% of the S-ranked damage as their bodies start moving into the past where they were not yet injured. This process of healing continues for the entire duration where those affected will be healed by 25% of S-ranked damage on every post up to 2.5x of S-ranked damage total.
Strengths:- An AoE healing spell that eventually restores a great deal of HP
Weaknesses:- Only those present for the first instant heal will receive healing over time
- The initial healing is not as strong as one of an ability without healing over time
Name: Time stop
Rank: User's Rank (Caps at A)
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: A localized version of an ability that can completely stop time. A powerful magic that the fairy of time wields is capable of completely freezing a single enemy in place, as long as she touches them in any way. However, only enemies up to one single rank above this spell can be affected by this power. But once they are frozen, the affected individual will be unable to move a single muscle for an entire post, suddenly vulnerable to everything that is coming at them.
Strengths:- A powerful time stop that can affect even an enemy one rank above this spell
Weaknesses:- Astra has to touch the enemy in order to freeze them
- Only one target can be affected by this ability at a time, not multiple
PRICE: 500,000 Jewels or 30 CCSTOCK: 1- An AoE healing spell that eventually restores a great deal of HP
