Genasi Cuffs, or Bracers of Utter Compulsion

Fashioned from gold and decorated with elemental patterns and precious stones, these bracelets are made to dazzle. The gems dance with power echoing the elemental orgin of the wearer, even changing their colour to reflect it. As long as the wearer's cuffed hand is free, it can be used as material components for a spell. A Genasi attuned to the bracers cannot attune to any other item unless he also attunes to the accompanying vessel. The vessel may be attuned or unattuned to any intelligent creature as normal.

Enslavement of Genies

Genies are among the most powerful practitioners of elemental magic. Immortal, their conciousness is linked so strongly with the arcane forces of the natural world some can even alter reality instinctively. Such power has often been coveted by mortal races, and some have discovered ways of compelling genies to do their will. One of the most insidious is the conjuration of mystical cuffs, tied to another physical object or vessel, usually a bottle, lamp or ring. Though the method of binding the cuffs to the genie is among the most closely guarded of all secrets, what is certain is any who possess the accompanying item have the power of the genie at their beck and call. The hubris required to enslave a genie, however, usually leads to the downfall of those audatious enough to try.

When a genie breaks free of the enchantment binding it to a master, sometimes the bracelets and are left behind. Though they can never be used to bind a genie again, it has been discovered that they can be used to similarly bind a genasi into servitude, if its connection to arcane magic is strong enough. Though weaker than their elemental cousins, any genasi attuned to the cuffs are magically compelled to carry out the desires of he who holds the accompanying vessel, though he may choose to do so in a way that is not in the spirit of their master's original intent. Their master can also talk to the wearer of the cuffs from anywhere, even across planar boundaries, as though using the message cantrip. The vessel must also be attuned to the would-be master, and will instantly return to his possession from anywhere when a magic word, chosen by the master, is spoken.

Genasi Cuffs

Wondrous Item (Requires attunement by a genasi sorcerer or bard)

Nothing short of a wish can remove the bracelets, and they will return to his wrists if, after death, he is magically restored to life unless they are on the wrists of another. If the wearer dies and is brought back to life via the reincarnate spell, the wearer will return again as a genasi, though possibly of a different type. The wearer of the bracelets cannot act to personally harm whoever is attuned to the vessel, nor is he able to magically compel him in any way.

Genasi Cuffs are an item of legacy with abilities that can be unlocked as their wearer completes certain tasks. The cuffs have a minor legacy , a lesser legacy , and a greater legacy . The minor legacy must be completed before the lesser, and the lesser before the greater if the wearer is to unlock their full potential.

Minor Legacy What they don't know can't hurt them

When magically compelled into servitude, a genie will work to do his master's bidding, though often perverts the wording used to serve himself and achieve greater freedom. If the wearer is able to trick the bearer of the vessel into giving it up, even for a short time, arcane knowledge and power flows into him. The wearer learns one metamagic ability from the sorcerer class feature and obtains three sorcery points, which he can use and which return to him after a long rest.

Lesser Legacy Stronger than you think

Genies are known almost as well for their combat prowess as they are for their ability to grant desires. If the weilder of the bracelets is able to help defeat an elemental in an encounter of at least 12 CR, great power of mystic defense enshroud him. While not wearing armour or donning a shield, the wearer's armour class is now 10+ their charisma modifier + their dexterity modifier.

Greater Legacy Unbound

Ultimate freedom and power is the desire for any genie, and this is often reflected in their genasi brethren. If the weilder of the cuffs is able to earn or otherwise free an enslaved being from another creature with a CR of 17 or greater, the ultimate power of the cuffs are revealed. They take upon themselves the complete powers of a ring of elemental command, conforming to the type most closely associated with their wearer. Additionally, they grant one use of the wish spell to the wearer.
