Dice of the Heavenly Spectrum
Each has a different magic metal: Orichalcum, Starmetal, Moonsilver, Jade, and Soulsteel. An individual can infuse each die with a mote of esence and make one roll per day. Different combinations produce different effects. The duration of the effect is until sunrise, at which time the dice can be used again.
As a general rule for the individual rolls, if an exalt type rolls his or her associated metal, the effect is greater. When both dice show such metals, the effect is maximized. Soulsteel has a negative effect for all exalt types except Abyssal, where it has a positive effect. Abyssals who roll the dice receive negative effects from Orachalcum.
The dice can also be used to settle a bet. The loser of the game is subject to a curse until the bet terms are met. The game is played with each exalt rolling one die. A roll of their associated metal wins them the game, unless the opponent has also rolled his or her associated metal. In this case, another roll is made. If a player rolls their opposite metal (for Abyssals, Orachalcum, for all other exalts, Soulsteel) then the player loses the game unless the opponent has also rolled his or her opposite metal. In this case, another roll is made. If a player rolls his or her associated metal while the opponent rolls their opposite metal, then the terms of the bet are doubled within reason.
The number rolled on a ten sided die corresponds to the metals as follows:
0-9: Orichalcum
7-8: Moonsilver
5-6: Starmetal
3-4: Jade
1-2: Soulsteel
