Silver and Shadow Mounts are special creatures summoned from some unknown plane by Hylian Acolytes. These creatures seem to have some sort of strange relationship to the triforce sphere, allowing its adherents to bond with one of these creatures for a time. The mounts actually have no set shape or form. . . . it is determined by the bonding at the time of summoning. Once a creature is bonded, it retains that shape for the rest of its life. If found in the wild, they are likely to be in the shape of a horse, resembling something like a unicorn or a nightmare, which the original mounts were fashioned to resemble.

All Shadow and Silver Mounts resemble living creatures. Typically Horses, Wolves, or Riding Insects, these mounts have attack capabilities depending on thier form. Bite attacks deal 1d8, Hooves 1d4, Claws 1d6, Stingers 1d6. Attack bonuses are +11 for a primary attack, +3 for secondary attacks.

Silver mounts are silver in color, no matter the form, and they appear to radiate a faint light. This is, however an illusion, and confers no actual illumination. Silver flames appear to lick silently along legs and manes or other appropriate areas.

Shadow mounts are black in color, no matter the form, with bright orange flames appearing to lick silently along legs and manes or other appropriate areas. A strange darkness seems to cloak the creature, as if the area around was somehow darker. Like the silver mount, this effect is merely an illusion.

Telepathic Bond: Silver and Shadow mounts share a telepathic bond with their riders, allowing them to communticate with each other fully. Mounts are as intelligent as the average human.

Spell Like Abilities: Mounts have a limited amount of spell like abilities, much like unicorns and nightmares, which the original mounts once resembled. Silver Mounts can cast Tri-fold Light 1/day, and Saria’s Blessing 3/day. Shadow Mounts can cast Tri-fold Darkness 1/day, and Mudora’s Curse 3/day. (Caster level 5th)

Level One Craftable Items
Bomb:
Crafted of the finest gunpowders known, the Bomb is a staple of Hylian weaponry. In addition to being useful for removing obstacles, there are a number of well-documented monsters, such as the Dodongo, which are only vulnerable to its explosive effects. When used as a weapon, a bomb explodes on impact (DC 10 to strike the space), dealing 2d6 damage to everything in a five foot radius. [Weight: 1lb; Range Increment: 10ft; Cost: 100 Gold)

Mana Potions:
Hylian mana potions come in small green vials that pulse with energy. When consumed, they restore 3d4 mana points to the imbiber This cannot raise his mana beyond his normal limit. [Cost: 150]

Health Potions:
Another staple that any Acolyte should have on hand, Hylian health potions are generally a deep shade of blue, making them easilly identifiable. When consumed, it restores 2d6 points of health to the imbiber. [Cost: 100]

Compass:
The material component for the Treasure Sense spell is a small, finely crafted compass. All hylians can build one from scratch, costing roughly 50gp worth of materials.

Chaplet of Time (6th) - Upon having aquired three or more Seals, the Hylian Acolyte may begin the construction of a Chaplet of Time. This special chaplet is a string of beads and Seals that is worn about the neck or twisted about the wrist (wearer's choice). It grants to the acolyte a number of abilities based on what Seals the Acolyte has aquired. For every three class levels the Acolyte has achieved, he gains one use of the chaplet. Thus, at 6th level, a newly created chaplet has 2 uses / day.

Each time the chaplet is used, the Acolyte may channel the chaplet's energy through one of the seals he has affixed to the chaplet. This is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. The effect created varies by seal. The following seals grant the following powers, and any seals unique to your campaign must have thier ability determined by the DM.



The creation of the Chaplet of Time costs 500gp in materials, and requires the possession of at least three Seals. A chaplet of time is the possession of the Acolyte who earned the Seals. They are almost never found, and when they are, they must be turned over to a nearby Temple if possible.

Sword of Courage (8th) - Another hallmark of the Acolytes, a Sword of Courage is a potent weapon in the hands of one who knows its uses. A sword of courage is a +1 Shortsword enhanced with a number of abilities. First of all, when the weilder is at full health, the sword functions as if it was enchanted with Master's Blade, with the caster level equal to the Acolyte's class levels. Secondly, any abilities that the blade may have added to it later, such as keen, flaming, or ghost touch, also affect the bolts that the blade casts. Last of all, the blade exudes an aura of courage when wielded, granting a +1 luck bonus against all fear effects. [Cost: 8000gp]
Health Elixer (8th) - This large green potion restores 5d8 hitpoints to the imbiber. [Cost: 900gp]
