Ema of Wishes (Magic Item)

The ema is a specially prepared plaque made from rare wood, with detailed art painted on its front. It radiates magic heavily and is quickly picked out from other ema by its extraordinary beauty. If inscribed on the back with rare, quality ink (minimum value 20 ch'ien) using the calligraphy proficiency and then hung near a shrine of the appropriate spirit or god, that spirit will grant the request as a wish. For example, a farmer wishing for a rice season free from tai-fun would leave his or her ema to Susano no Mikoto, Fierce Wind Son.
These plaques are recognized by only shukenja and wu jen, as they are extremely powerful items. Only 1d3 ema of wishes will be found together, each having room for one wish to be inscribed on it. However, if the wish is of a continuous or long-term nature, destroying or taking the ema from its shrine ends the wish. This is done at the risk of invoking the anger of the spirit or god. A wish to create something or restore a person to life is not negated by the ema's destruction.
