"Oh, we're going to go see Marcus now?  Alright then!"

"Yes, stop-wait for us, eager Kee!"

----------------------------

Marcus is sitting at an otherwise empty table in Café Connection, pondering something while he looks at a piece of parchment he's laid out.  When he sees all the members of Team OS approaching, he rolls up the parchment and puts it in the bag he has slung over his shoulder.  He seems to be happy to see everyone, too.

"Ah, there you are!  Wasn't expecting to see everyone so soon!  Thought you might have a few more preparations to make before we head out.  Oh, your accessory?"

Marcus's Crafting Roll:
(6)(2)(5)(5)(4)(5)(1)(4) 6 successes 0_o

Kee's query about the accessory seems to put Marcus in an even better mood.

"Yup, it's done!  And I think it's some of my finer work, too!  Weaving the fire element aligned fur into the string of the necklace seems to have definitely had a positive impact on the final result, and the quality of that crystal was top notch!  It's probably going to be a long time before I get to work with materials like that again!  Here you go!"

Marcus pulls a necklace out of his bag and hands it to Kee, the red crystal shining brightly on the interwoven strands of red and white.

"I did a few tests with it once I finished, and using the Boldore crystal as a catalyst definitely had a strong effect on the item.  If you're wearing the necklace while the sun is high in the sky, it should have a much stronger effect.  It heats up a lot when you use it like that, but the fur seems to dampen the effect significantly, so it should be safe to wear.  Most of the time.  If it's really sunny, it starts to overcharge the crystal somewhat, and that had some...interesting consequences.  Oh, and items like this always need a good name, and my initial idea for it was something along the lines of 'Solar Battery', since it stores solar energy that you can use to strengthen your moves later.  What do you think?  Good name for it?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accessory Crafted: Solar Battery (you can change the name if you like, though)
Effect: The solar energy stored in the crystal naturally strengthens damaging moves, granting the wearer +1 Clash.  In addition, while battling in an outdoor area where the sun is visible with Clear weather during the day, the wearer also gets +1 Special.  During Sunny weather (regardless of the source), the user gets +2 Special, but takes 1 damage at the end of each Round.  Must be worn in an Accessory slot.

(GM's note: gonna rule that increases and decreases to the Special stat don't affect how many targets you're able to hit with spread moves.  This accessory thus won't help you there, but it also means that someone decreasing your Special won't hurt you either.)

"Since you're doing me a favor and I got a Boldore crystal out of it as well, I won't charge you this time.  But do keep in mind I need to make a living too, so don't be surprised if I request payment the next time you want me to craft something.  Alright, with that out of the way..."

"...everyone ready to go to the Secret Quarry?  I really do appreciate that you're helping me with this, by the way.  Just want to say that before we go."
