An alchemist shapes a clay golem beside copper furnaces and a homunculus in a jar, with whales drifting past a sunken city beyond.

Cold

Alchemy, Rune

Grants a small bonus on saves against cold-based attacks.

From the book

A protective rune that toughens its bearer against the cold. Anyone carrying an item marked with it gains +1 on saves against attacks based on cold.

Like every rune, it only works once it has been cut into an object: a sharp tool and one full hour of engraving or etching are all it takes, and the work never fails. The finished item counts as a runic device and a magic item for the bearer's carrying limits.
