Glyphs (matrixes) -- in purse.

• Healing 6 points (as a nature spirit, healing is doubled, so healing 3 would heal six points).
• Strength 3 points.
• Fireblade 1 point.  

Amber's purse is warded by a fire wraith, POW 23, INT 1, APP -4, does fire damage of 1d6 (100%) per melee round to 1d3 locations each melee round, imposes fear on any who fail a POW v. POW attack.  Zone of effect is the three meter diameter area round the purse when it is opened (if someone drops the purse and gets 1.5 meters away, they are safe from the wraith).  Is woven into the inside of the purse and is triggered by anyone who isn't Amber opening up the purse.
