the grimoires should be burned but doing that brings its own set up dangers; they had been ignored for a long time, and they didn't want to be hidden again185
Health, Joy, Luck charms; handmade bracelets and necklaces crafted from inexpensive wooden beads; price fifteen dollars250
Protection from Evil charm; a jade bead strung on a silver chain; price tag of two thousand dollars; held real power; but not enough to make it very strong250
Death charm; a bone shard strung on leather; no price; no feeling of darkness to the magic; its a cyanide pill250
smaller charms even taken together, there was no harm in them: purpose of each was very carefully set; impossible to use additively; just the nature of that kind of charm251
an antique spool cabinet; two feet square and a little older than
Charles Cornick; a family heirloom; it had sic drawers with spools of thread set on individual dowels—organized by color, black in the top drawer working down to white

rest the medallion on something and say the medallion's name and it burns whatever it's touching to ashes184

such things are limited; a certain amount of time per day—and only for so many days276
a nonrenewable consumable and valuable magic item; expensive; would take time and power to make268

Affiliated:
Jonsey Deceased
Zee Adelbertsmiter
Artifact Description & Usage Details:
Burn Bright
made for killing things78
the blade, short, broad, and leaf-shaped, was nearly black; so was the cross guard, maybe from age—or maybe it had been charred in a very hot hire79
the grip looked like leather, old and cracking, like some long-abandoned relic79
very end of the pommel, a rough gemstone the size of a walnut gleamed, a thing of beauty; could have been sapphire, blue topaz or some other deep-blue stone79

doesn't feel magical but it is101
blade isn't silver or an alloy with silver102

Affiliated:
Gina Stephanie Albright Deceased
Nicole Albright Deceased
Mercy Thompson
Rick Albright
Artifact Description & Usage Details:
Hollow
a thick silver chain with a blocky, carved-jade pendant that looked both arty and masculine398
might have been an expensive piece; a deft hand created the angles and the deliberately primitive lines of the pendant399
toward the center there was a change in color from clear, translucent green to frost; the carving dipped just there, as if someone had started to carve out the cloudy bit but had reconsidered399
no maker's mark399
cold chain, warm pendant; felt like family399
used as a power source to fuel a spell; Gina quenched the object in her death; it took on the personality traits when she died425
used fae magic to tie her essence to the object; essence or spirit was different from a soul426
the personality fades from such objects; unless feeding on emotions; keeping her personality intact indefinitely426
a ritual was done that put the essence of a person in an object; the pendant; from that object the person is influencing a ghost to haunt Rick427
foul magic428
breaking the pendant would stop the problem but there could be backlash when the item broke428
destroyed by Mercy with an iron pry bar; turned it into jade shards431
the pendant was a focus433

a handful of coin-like items
neolithic arrowhead; something slept within it and smelled bad
a bronze knife; burned clear and bright with magic, like an artesian well
a blue-and-purple pottery jar that felt dirty
powerful items; but most was just junk that happened to contain a spark of something103
a lot of the magical charged things were broken pieces of larger items103
a bowl of a clay pipe; the tongue of a buckle
Jonesy not very picky about what he collected103
there was a cracking noise inside the cabin and the fire leaped upward, and Charles felt the increase in heat on his face and his skin roughened with the breath of . . . something. Correlation not being causation, it hadn’t been Charles’s wish that had caused the sudden flare-up. Asil met his gaze (briefly) and shrugged. That explosion had been something they’d missed in their search.119

AKA Fairy Queen's Gift
was made as a gift for a fairy queen who collected the wrong fae's son into her court215
cuffs only work for a short period of time on the fae, though it can be more permanent on humans215
the woman who gave the fairy queen the gift wanted her son back; once the queen died all the humans and fae went back to their lives215
break the spell; true love's kiss
two part spell; first is spelled to make the wearer happy and relaxed; vulnerable so that the second one can work to make the person wearing it compliant220

Artifact Description & Usage Details:
Blood Bound
AKA The Chair
a large wooden chair; dark wood with a grain like oak
covered in carvings, from the lion-paw legs to the gargoyle crouched on the top of the tall back
each of the legs had a ring of brass about a third of the way up
the arms were made entirely of brass wrought with delicate-appearing vines and small flowers and thorns
on the end of each arm, one of the thorns stuck up in a sharp point
its magic felt like a dull bass thrum as if someone was beating a very large drum and you were listening to it with your ears covered; you feel it more than hear it
old blood on the chair
the chair is not vampiric magic, not entirelyBB-155
used to determine the truth of whatever poor being had the brass thorns stuck in its hands
with the statement “You choose to offer Truth willingly” the chair reacts; appropriate that the vampire's truth spells would demand blood
the seat isn't dependant on vampire power; it functions by blood, but it was a witch who worked the magic
the chair is a very old thing

Fair Game
With this you could get a car or a house, the man said. Money for an education. He smiled, quite kindly—and it made him look totally different, more real, somehow, as he said, “Or save some other puppy from monsters. All you have to do is wish hard and tear up the card”.5
You can use it to fix your daughter’s knee? Leslie asked. Beauclaire shook his head and handed the card back to Leslie. No. But I’ll remember you offered…231
I wish— said Leslie, drawing Charles’s attention away from the fae. I wish… She looked at Charles. One lost puppy for another—but Anna is yours as Toby was mine. So I wish that as I lost my puppy, my dog that I loved, that Charles should find his lost wolf. She tore the card in half and the magic…did something.244

After killing the River Devil, it took the initiative to kill an otterkin who was attacking Mercy.301
Mercy offered the Walking Stick to Coyote at the end of the book and he accepted.323
Night Broken
Coyote give the Walking Stick back to Mercy.250
Coyote believes that the source of the magic of the three walking sticks was unreliable:
one makes sheep have twins
one helps you find your way home
one allows you to see people as they really are
maybe there were three staves that did the same thing or maybe there was only ever one walking stick; or maybe he was able to teach it to ape its brethren251
Mercy gave the Walking Stick to Beauclaire.288
The Walking Stick came back to Mercy.340

Mercy uses the Walking Stick to claim the tri-cities territory.76
At the end of the story, the Walking Stick ate the Widow Queen's death spell to protect Mercy and died.328
Smoke Bitten
Something else stirred, too, but it wasn’t unfriendly so I let that be for now. I had other things to worry about.303
And that was when that niggling presence I’d felt—that presence that was not pack, not Stefan, but bound to me anyway, by thin spidersilk that smelled of fae magic—that presence whispered in my ear.306
Find your way home, the walking stick told Underhill as lightning arced into the center of her chest.306
Elizaveta bent to whisper in his ear again, but I took the walking stick in my hand. I noticed that it had made itself into a spear, as it sometimes did when I needed a sharp weapon.338
On the top of my chest of drawers, just as though it had always been there, the walking stick lay in its usual place.342

Artifact Description & Usage Details:
Moon Called
Zee carries it for personal protection
Dark-bladed and as long as Mercy's arm
comes with a leather belt and sheath; belt ties to adjust fit for dagger; wrapped the leather belt around my hips a few times. There was a handmade buckle without a pin on one end, and I wove the other end of the belt through and tied it off.
old blade
power washed through the van, not like the power the Alphas could call, nor did it feel like the magic Elizaveta Arkadyevna used. It was akin somehow to the fae power of glamour and tasted like metal and blood in my mouth.
Zee calls the blade “daughter” and it likes the taste of blood
not a great help against vampires
Each time the knife heated up, it did so more quickly and took longer to cool off.
