Ability Table
| User | Ability | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Elinalise Dragonroad | Curse Suppressing Tool | A tool created by Cliff to suppress the Curse of Promiscuity afflicting Elinalise. A prototype existed earlier; Cliff gives Elinalise a smaller version before she leaves, and Rudeus judges it still needs improvement. |
| Rudeus | Lamplight Spirits summoning scroll | A Magic Circle scroll for summoning Lamplight Spirits, a rare spell not known to the Magician Guild, invented by the authority of Summoning Magic; given to Rudeus as a reward for completing the first phase of summoning an inorganic matter. |
| Rudeus | Disturb Magic | Rudeus practices Disturb Magic while traveling, in case he meets Orsted again. |

It works quickly once taken and can leave the user unable to restrain himself; Luke warned it may need to be taken by the giver as well if necessary. |
