Elaris stands in an industrial revolution, while magic remains, technology is rapidly reshaping life


Author's Note: Author's Notes for Players: Welcome to Elaris, a world in the throes of transformation. Once ruled by powerful mages and dominated by arcane traditions, Elaris is now embracing the tides of change brought by an industrial revolution. Steam engines hum where magic once ruled unchallenged, and airships, trains, and arcane-powered firearms are redefining how people live and fight. While the old ways of magic still hold sway in some parts of the world, the rise of technology is creating a new order, challenging the balance of power. In this world, you’ll encounter individuals who fiercely cling to tradition, while others are eager to explore the possibilities of innovation. This tension between the magical and mechanical will drive much of the story. Your characters will have the opportunity to navigate this shifting landscape, shaping the future of Elaris as they see fit. Whether you align with the arcane past or embrace the technological future, Elaris is a world ripe for exploration and reinvention. Choose your path wisely, as your decisions could change the course of history.

Description

This cube is about an inch across. Each face has a distinct marking on it that can be pressed. The cube starts with 36 charges, and it regains 1d20 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use an action to press one of the cube's faces, expending a number of charges based on the chosen face, as shown in the Cube of Force Faces table. Each face has a different effect. If the cube has insufficient charges remaining, nothing happens. Otherwise, a barrier of invisible force springs into existence, forming a cube 15 feet on a side. The barrier is centered on you, moves with you, and lasts for 1 minute, until you use an action to press the cube's sixth face, or the cube runs out of charges. You can change the barrier's effect by pressing a different face of the cube and expending the requisite number of charges, resetting the duration. If your movement causes the barrier to come into contact with a solid object that can't pass through the cube, you can't move any closer to that object as long as the barrier remains. Cube of Force Faces | Face | Charges | Effect | |---|---|---| | 1 | 1 | Gases, wind, and fog can't pass through the barrier. | 2 | 2 | Nonliving matter can't pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. | 3 | 3 | Living matter can't pass through the barrier. | 4 | 4 | Spell effects can't pass through the barrier. | 5 | 5 | Nothing can pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. | 6 | 0 | The barrier deactivates. The cube loses charges when the barrier is targeted by certain spells or comes into contact with certain spell or magic item effects, as shown in the table below. | Spell or Item | Charges Lost | |---|---| | Disintegrate | 1d12 | | Horn of blasting | 1d10 | | Passwall | 1d6 | | Prismatic spray | 1d20 | | Wall of fire | 1d4 |
