Frenzy

Frenzy sits in the palm like a shard of stormglass, its surface lacquered black with faint, crackling gold veins, and a warmth that travels up your arm when you tighten your grip. The vial is compact, glass smooth as a river stone, sealed with a cork and a wire loop, a tiny rune etched on the shoulder that catches the light like a micro-sun. If you tilt it, amber motes swirl into a stubborn little cyclone, orbiting the empty space as if they’re waiting for a moment to spill. In the right hand, it feels almost alive, a pocket of weather bottled up and doled out with a whispered promise. Lore keeps its own cadence with Frenzy. Folklore says it was spun from the breath of a rage-born spirit, tempered by the quiet tolling of a temple bell, designed to let a fighter ride fury without losing the thread of self. Old smiths claim the sigils on the cork aren’t simply decoration but a promise—that when the moment is darkest, the bearer can borrow momentum from the storm inside. The world, full of long nights and short measures, has always understood that a spark can become a blaze, and Frenzy is the kindling for those sparks. In practice, Frenzy is a tool that becomes a companion in the heat of a fight. Used wisely, it yields a temporary surge—an interior drumbeat that tightens one’s grip, accelerates the rhythm of strikes, and sharpens perception just long enough to catch an opening that would have vanished in a heartbeat. It doesn’t win battles on its own, but it can tilt the balance at decisive moments: a sprint past a guard’s shield, a burst to finish a fragile foe, a moment of clarity when chaos blooms around you. It feels less like a magic trick and more like stepping into a trumpet blast—loud, focused, and impossible to ignore for more than a breath. This is where the item threads into the wider tapestry. Market stalls, caravan camps, and quiet harborfronts carry whispers about Frenzy, stories of couriers slipping a vial into a saddlebag before a patrol or a raid, of duelists letting the amber glow bloom just as their opponents lean in. In towns and camps, the word travels as surely as coins do, and the market finds its own mood—desire rising in tones of gold and murmurs, then cooling as supply catches up, then rising again whenever a tournament ring rings out with cheers. Integrated into the world’s commerce and memory, Frenzy becomes more than a collectible or a one-off boost. It’s a shared code among those who know that momentum is a currency of its own, traded not just in gold but in stories told around flickering firelight. And when a buyer curves through the marketplace and catches a glimpse of Frenzy’s amber spiral, the moment feels like a small, shared truth: sometimes, a single breath of wild speed is enough to redraw the map for a few heartbeats, enough to remember that even in the weary hours, the storm still has room for a spark. On Saddlebag Exchange, the chatter wraps around prices with the same stubborn warmth as the item itself—prices rising and falling with the tides of demand, each trader weighing risk against reward as if measuring the speed at which a moment can break free.
