Santa’s List (minor artifact)

Aura faint divination; CL 20th

Slot none; Price —; Weight —

This sealed scroll is divided in three columns, titled “Nice”, “Naughty”, and “Neither” in an ornate gilded handwriting. Under each column there is space for a hundred names. If the owner speaks aloud the true name of a living creature, that name appears on the list under one of the columns, depending on the creature’s alignment with respect to good and evil. If a dead creature’s name or a false name is spoken, nothing appears on the list. Every time the scroll is rolled and unrolled again, all the names written on it disappear.

Destruction

Santa’s list is destroyed if 100 names of evil creature’s are written by hand in the “Nice” column, and 100 names of good creatures in the “Naughty” column.

Santa’s Bottomless Sack (minor artifact)

Aura strong conjuration; CL 20th

Whether it appears empty of full, this huge sack’s weight doesn’t change, allowing also a child to carry it. It functions as a giant bag of holding, only it can store 8,000 lbs. of stuff and its inner space is 1,600 cubic ft. It also allows its owner to cast major creation by reaching inside with a hand. Lastly, once per day the bottom of the sack can transform into a gate to Santa Claus’ sanctum, where he can recover other items newly crafted by his followers.

Destruction

Santa’s bottomless sack is destroyed if it is filled with toys stolen from good children.

Santa’s Sleigh (major artifact)

Aura strong conjuration and  transmutation; CL 20th

Slot none; Price —; Weight 1,009 pounds

Santa’s sleigh appears as a normal wooden snow sleigh, except for gilded finitures and a glittering golden glow around it. Only Santa Claus or someone with his permission can drive the sleigh and give orders to the reindeer.

The sleigh can travel on every terrain type and even on water without penalties, and flies at its same land speed as per air walk. Every creature yoked to Santa’s sleigh receives the effects of air walk. The sleigh’s driver, passengers, and the yoked creatures are also constantly protected by endure elements. In addition, every spell or effect affecting the driver or cast by the driver on himself or the sleigh also affects the passengers and every creature pulling it.

Santa’s sleigh can accommodate 8 Medium creatures (or 16 Small creatures) when it’s empty; when Santa’s bottomless sack is on board, it only accommodates 2 Medium creatures (or 4 Small creatures), including its driver. The sleigh’s bells can be rang three times per day to create the effect of joyful raptureUM. Lastly, the driver can choose to stop time for as much as he wishes while the sleigh is flying, enabling it to cover enormous distances in a few moments without being seen by anyone.

Destruction

Santa’s sleigh is destroyed if Santa Claus and his nine reindeer willingly trample on it all at once.
