Flint and steel

Flint and steel allows an ordinary fire to be lit and belongs in the equipment of a traveler who wants to be prepared even without magic. In Elaria, it may be a simple market purchase or a personal gift before leaving home. The item can recall a practical skill and a connection to a teacher or family.

It is useful when camping and in other ordinary situations where a fire can actually be started. The necessary conditions do not disappear merely because flint and steel is in the inventory. It is not the combat spell Ignite or a source of automatic damage. Forgetting it may lead to an arrangement with a neighboring group, use of another familiar option, or a change to the expedition's plans.

Rules effect: Allows an ordinary fire to be lit. The price is 2 sp. The item is reusable rather than a single-use supply. Its listed effect applies to the situation it is intended for. Additional bonuses, other forms of protection, and new magical abilities are not part of this entry.
