I could of use one of these in college.
Power: Significant
Effect: Whoever drinks a full cup of coffee from the mug need not worry about sleep.
Description: Former Yankee superstar , Joe DiMaggio, took on the task of becoming the spokesperson for the Mr. Coffee easy brew coffee machines in the 1970s. For his troubles, he earned the nickname “Mr. Coffee.”
After “Mr. Coffee” took a sip from the coffee mug in his first commercial, the coffee mug that he used was “misplaced”. It resurfaced several years ago, when a TNI cell discovered the mug in a demented men’s possession.
The cup is white, chipped in a few places with cracks streaking down the side. It’s not much to look at, but it will give you that kick you need when you don’t want to fall asleep.
The mug is like a grail to Oneiromancers, since drinking a full cup of coffee from it will keep them up for 24 hours.
what’s an Oneiromancer and what book is it from?
It’s Delirium-based magick. They gain charges by being sleep-deprived and physically exhausted.
They can be found in PoMoMa. 1st edition UA.
Does it just make you not PHYSICALLY need sleep? With the retrieval from the crazy man and its utility to oneiromancers, that sounds about right. It would be a good “mixed blessing” and “use with caution” kind of thing… perfect for the UA world.
