Tengu Fan
This ornate paper fan is standard issue of the tengu, proud crow-spirits from the east. Nobody knows where they get them, but most fans bear decorations and colors specific to the original owner. While every such fan is believed to originally belong to a tengu, they are sometimes stolen or lost, and can be used by any creature capable of grasping it.
The most useful property of the fan is its power over wind. With a simple flick, it can create short-range gusts of wind in any shape or direction the wielder desires, and the wind continues so long as they keep fanning. The utilities of this are largely a matter of the wielder's imagination, but it can be used to push human-sized creatures, clear harmful gasses, create updrafts to aid in leaping or flying, and even create a circular "barrier" of wind that can deflect arrows and bolts, but not bullets. It can even create a stronger gust, strong enough to lift a horse of its feet, though this stronger power takes eight hours to recharge.
The fan has another, stranger power. If the fan is gently waved at a creature within sixty feet, and the wielder doesn't wish otherwise, its nose will begin to grow longer, up to an inch per second! This growth lasts indefinitely, but can be reversed by even weak curse-removing effects, or by the wielder of any tengu fan.
