PRO TIP: Even the most mundane of objects can pack a serious surprise of a wallop when it comes to having been secretly enchanted or imbibed with Hero Magic ™ and has the potential to turn an unwary person into an idealized and super-powered version of their own self with an irresistible compulsion to fight evil, right wrongs, rescue the distressed and look both ways before crossing any and all thoroughfares.
While this may not seem bad on the surface, keep in mind, being an eternal champion of law and good usually is more complication than many desire or are prepared for when it comes to personal and professional relationships. Note that while 90% of those who contact hero magic are usually rendered sufficiently indestructible to learn proper and productive coping measures before actually facing any life-threatening situations, being the Hero is still a time consuming thing to manage. And some enemies out there can hit you hard enough that you will still feel it and merely WISH it had killed you when it keeps seeking you out for a "worthy" foe to battle.
Other Side-Effects include impossible physiques, embarrassingly skimpy costumes, delusions of Godhood, and people imperiling themselves on purpose, confident you'll save them should anything go wrong.
To prevent exposure to Hero Magic, always assume any artifact you find while out exploring mystic or holy sights has this dicey potential, especially shiny ones that seem curiously immune to having aged despite being left alone for a millennia or two. Also avoid anything that glows (as a bonus this will also keep you safe from radioactive hazards), appears to speak without any visible mouth, or spontaneously leaps up and tries to attach to your person (This last one really should be a no-brainer, but some folk.....)
If you find a weapon, do not pick it up. If you find jewelry, do not wear it. And if you find any armor, no matter how inconsequential, do not put it on unless it has been thoroughly screened by a professional magic-user.
If you suspect contact with Hero Magic, call our support line at any time: 1-800-YOU-FOOL or text #helpamhero to 555001, counterspells must be started within the first 24 hours of exposure to have any chance of effect.
