Weekly Wonders - Spells of Art

A Masterpiece of Magic

Art objects are, at once, the most and least exciting treasure a party can find in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. On the one hand, what’s more flavorful and exciting than golden statuettes of strange and mythical figures, gem-studded scepters, ancient crowns, and the like? On the other hand, though, these status symbols rarely have any mechanical effect that the players can use to their advantage, like magic items do, and they’re more of a hassle to spend than coins are.

This book brings a little more magic to the world of art objects, especially paintings and statues, by providing 10 brand new spells that relate to art not just thematically, but also mechanically, rewarding players who hold onto (or even commission) valuable pieces of art. In this book, you’ll find spells that let you alter an object’s value, track down the owner of an art object, animate a sculpture into a more powerful minion than the average animated object, trap foes in paintings, travel through paintings, and more!
