Ship effigies are small artefact sculptures which can be dropped on the deck of a ship to transform the appearance of the denizen crew. The magic will transform swashbucklers, shipmates, cooks, chefs, and cabin boys.

Clay goblin effigy: Hunched and squat, with black beady eyes, this clay figurine represents all that is reprehensible about the goblinoid races. Gnarled hands hook into claws, black fangs are bared from a grimacing mouth, and a glazed sheen suggests at a slimy texture. This effigy devolves a crewmembers into the slope-shouldered, green-skinned ruffians of the Underrealm.
Handsome clay effigy: Fired and glazed with a transparent coating, this masculine effigy is warmly bronzed and appears oiled. Shaped to resemble a broad man, although faceless, it bears the classically handsome wide shoulders which taper to slender hips. Arms crossed upon the chest, the corded muscle and sinew of its rugged biceps has been carefully detailed. Applying this effigy will outfit the crew as sun-kissed dreamboats.
Voluptuous clay effigy: Featureless and faceless, the sweeping lines of the feminine effigy exude sensuality, their beautiful curves enticingly alluring yet demure as they lack any specific definition. A vaguely hourglass form suggests at the female figure, but dynamically twisted as if to hint at a pose of luxuriant stretch. Applying this effigy will conjure sultry, beautifully skirted sea wenches with sirenic visages.
