The following is a list of some of the equipment specific to the ESPER world.
ESPER Equipment List
Item 	Description
Book of Shadows 	
This is a magician's personal journal of his magickal practice. Whenever he puts  together a new spell, he may write it in his Book of Shadows, and will from that point on be able to cast that spell knowing exactly how it will turn out.
Aquavita Bullet 	
This is a tempered glass bullet containing blessed holy water and shaved shards of a silver crucifix. It causes poison damage to vampires.
Gold Bullet 	
This type of bullet is made of solid gold, and causes +1 rank damage to enemies with the Undead characteristic.
Mercury Bullet 	
This bullet contains liquid Mercury, which shatters and spills within its target. In addition to being a Fair-ranked poison, it causes +1 rank damage to Demonic enemies.
Silver Bullet 	
This bullet is cast from silver, and causes special damage to Lycanthropes.
Cell Phone 	
This is a multi-purpose device. It allows making phone calls (as long as there is signal, which is up to the GM). It can record audio, take low-quality photographs and lower-quality videos, and can be used as a gauge for supernatural activity as its signal and battery will fluctuate wildly in the presence of supernatural entities.
EMF Detector 	
This will be able to detect the strength of supernatural entities, by revealing the Success rate of an entity's actions for the past hour. Every hour it has been since the action took place in that location, the EMF detector will report one less rank.
FLIR 	
Forward Looking InfraRed is a technology that can be applied to video cameras, digital cameras, and binoculars, which allow the user to see colors which indicate the temperature of certain objects. This could help them see the location of people even through some walls, and can also locate supernatural creatures or distinguish a regular person from a supernatural creature disguised as a person by seeing the variance between their regular body temperature and the body temperature of a normal person.
Infrared Alarm 	
This alarm will go off if it is pointing at a location which suddenly changes in temperature by 15 or more degrees. This could be applied to determining the presence of a supernatural entity. 
Infrared Thermometer 	
This will give the temperature to a tenth of a degree of the point at which it is pointed. This could help indicate a creature disguised as a person by seeing the difference between his body temperature and 98.6 degrees F, and could also be used to locate cold spots. 
Laser Motion Detector	
This will send out a laser which bounces off a surface opposite to it and returns to the unit. If this line is broken (which can sometimes occur in the presence of a supernatural creature even if it is not physical), the alarm will go off.
Nightvision Goggles 	
These goggles allow the ability to see clearly in the dark without any source of light. It lends a very spooky appearance to everything, causing a -1 rank to all Fear rolls made while wearing an active set of nightvision goggles.
Religious Icon 	
A religious icon, when carried by someone who truly believes in its power, can be used to avert evil entities. It grants Fair protection against their attacks and can be used as a Fair Fire damage weapon if touched to the skin of the enemy. The first time a character wielding a religious icon encounters a creature with Aura of Fear, Aura of Death, or Aura of Dread, he must make a successful Faith roll, or the icon will curl, melt, corrode, or otherwise wither away. If no one is holding the icon (such as a cross on top of a gravestone), it will be destroyed without a roll.
Audio Recorder 	
An audio recorder is usually used to record sound and voice. It can be used during a paranormal investigation to catch Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) sounds caused by creatures that cause Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).
Video Camera 	
A video camera allows for the recording of video and audio. They can also catch supernatural activity, but some such activity may destroy the video or drain the battery.
