A mechanical ā€œLā€ shaped piece of metal with a very little lever. If pointed at someone/something it emits a loud sound and there is a high probability that the target could die or be broken instantly. Unfortunately it has limited uses. (DC20 let you discover that the magazine can be expelled and that it ran on exotic ammunition and not on magical charges).

A small translucent pocket of liquid with a tiny, slightly bent, metallic plate in it. Clicking the plate spreads a force that solidifies the liquid and begins emitting magical heat for the duration of 1d4 hours.

23

Rubik's Cube

A small faceted cube made of a strange black material and covered in even smaller colored panels. The cube can be twisted and made so that each side is a single color (with an intelligence check of dc 25) however this does not cause the cube to do anything interesting and generaly leaves the solver underwhelmed.

33

a small metal tube with a button on one end and a cone with a hole in it on the other. If the button is pressed, a dagger like point is projected from the cone.
