Called a "puddle jumper" helm by those fortunate enough to possess a minor or major helm, the petty helm allows an SR of 1 PER LEVEL of the user! However, unlike a minor or major helm, the petty helm does NOT allow spell-jamming speed for interplanetary or interstellar flight. In other words a petty helm is limited to tactical speed (17 mph per SR).

While this makes a petty helm useless for most spell-jamming work the cost of the helm is 1/10 that of a minor helm (10,000 g.p.). In addition, a petty helm can lift a ship of up to 35 tons, making them suitable for installation in a trader hull. They can also be installed in small craft like elven flitters, making a deadly and swift fighter. Look for the Arcane to sell these helms outside Saruspace very soon.

One special note, petty helms, while sturdy, do not enjoy the near-artifact like durability of a minor or major helm, they can be destroyed as easily as any other magical item of thick wood.
