Veiled Figurehead
Usage attached to a ship's bow
This figurehead is carved in the shape of a humanoid, but it has no facial features whatsoever.
Activate—Veil! ◆ minute (concentrate, illusion, visual)
Frequency once per day
Effect You change the appearance of the ship in minor but noticeable ways. Its general size and shape can't be changed, but you can alter surface details to your liking. Flags and sails can be recolored and given new markings, and the overall material of the ship can appear a different color or quality. Wear and surface damage (like small holes, tears, and burns) can be masked to make the vessel look unblemished, or you can create such damage and wear. The figurehead itself shifts to fit the change and gains a face to match the rest of the ship. The illusion lasts for 6 hours or until you Dismiss this effect. Any creature that boards the ship or uses the Seek action to examine it disbelieves the illusion if it succeeds at a DC 25 perception check.
Traits
While many ships are adorned with decorative carvings, daring crews sometimes procure magical figureheads for their vessels.
Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
Effects with the water trait either manipulate or conjure water. Those that manipulate water have no effect in an area without water. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of water or have a connection to magical water.
