Iago Mercado maintains a small inventory of unique items for his more...discerning customers. He knows a bit about the spirit realms that bleed into our world, and makes specialty items that can help deal with supernatural entities. Of course, he doesn't just sell these to anyone; any potential buyer must meet his criteria that they know of the other side, as well, and use his wares for good.
Single Use Charms
Many of Iago's more affordable items are bits of jewelry that are made of locally sourced--and magically charged--silver. Due to the silver's proximity to a focus of otherworldly power (the imprisonment enchantment sealing the rift beneath Tombstone), this silver can hold a tiny enchantment of its own. It takes just a moment to invoke, and once used, the silver becomes tarnished and the enchantment is spent.
- Healing charms: These take the form of jewelry such as rings, earrings or necklaces with pendants, as they require skin contact to function. They require 2 APs to use. The rings are simple enchantments, and when invoked, will heal one wound level to the limb the ring is worn on, or any hit location the wearer is touching. For 4 AP, the wearer can touch another person and heal them, instead. Earrings and necklaces are more powerful enchantments. They will only heal wounds to the head or torso respectively, but they will heal two wounds to the affected location when invoked. These charms will also automatically activate if the wearer dies from wounds received to the head or torso. Cost: $10 for rings, $25 for earrings or necklaces

Each one takes 2 AP to use; if the attacker does not have 2 remaining AP after making their attack, the charm cannot be invoked. The first variety allows the player, after a successful hit, to draw an additional action card and add the results. If the first or second card is an exceptional success, resolve those as normal. The second enchantment allows a successful hit to draw a second card and add to the effect. Due to the nature of the enchantment, the effects will function with either a ranged weapon or close combat/unarmed attack, so long as the ring is worn on the hand making the attack.

Enchanted Items
Iago has a few items that either have more complex and permanent enchantments imbued within, or are made with more pure silver.
- Spurs of the Wind: These give the rider's mount +4 Move Rate (or +1 per phase during continuous actions) or decrease the TN of ride checks by 1. On ride check with a calamity result, check the toggle; if "yes," the enchantment burns out. If the toggle result is "no," the enchantment remains. Cost: $80
- Spurs of Silence: These spurs definitely do not jingle, jangle, jingle. While worn afoot, these spurs soften the wearer's step and give them +1 to all sneak checks. On sneak check with a calamity result, check the toggle; if "yes," the enchantment burns out. If the toggle result is "no," the enchantment remains. Cost: $100
- Traveler's Sarape: A rugged, wool hand-woven blanket worn like a cape with a silver clasp to secure it below the collar. This item of clothing grants 1 level of resistance to cold and heat-related scene attributes. Oddly enough, it also grants a +1 DB to strong unarmed, melee and thrown weapon attacks. On attack check with a calamity result, check the toggle; if "yes," the enchantment burns out. If the toggle result is "no," the enchantment remains. Cost: $75
- Rift Ward: An ornate silver token. When worn outside the clothes so it is visible, it will reduce damage suffered from the attacks of infernal enemies such as Demons and Fell Hounds. It can soak 1 wound per round. Once it soaks 5 wounds, the enchantment is spent and must be recharged. If more than 2 charges remain, it can be used to soak 2 wounds in one round, but doing so immediately depletes all remaining charges. Cost: $150
- Silvered weapons: Silver can be mixed with the iron used to forge bladed weapons, allowing the weapon to hold an enchantment similar to a silver bullet. Silver is a very soft metal, though, and any silvered weapon will have its REL number doubled. On a breakdown, the weapon is rendered unusable, and must be repaired at a smithy before the enchantment can be reset.
