Amulet of Arcane Dominance
Not all arcane wielders focus on human targets. Some are more concerned with the war for mankind to preserve the world from the horrors that have poisoned the Earth. When your enemy is an arcane being then mastery of and resistance to the arcane is essential. Richards stole this amulet from an assassin who used it to infiltrate the CS. Upon examination he was fascinated with the principles of the amulet and the way it amplified his awareness of raw arcane energy. In essence the amulet bonded with Richards and choose to only function for the Translocator (Shifter).
The amulet was of course confiscated when first reported and placed in the Coalition States Black Vault located in Chi Town. However after nearly two years it was secretly provided to the Vanguard and returned to Richards for use in the field with his new assignment with the Disavowed Cell team known as Baker’s Dozen.
The wielder gains mastery over arcane awareness and manipulation, gaining the raise effect on a successful use of arcane protection, and detect/conceal arcana. In addition the user gains +2 to Spellcasting when using spells of arcane energy manipulation.
