3e SRD:Gem of Brightness
Gem of Brightness
Upon utterance of a command word, this crystal emits bright light of one of three sorts.
One command word causes the gem to shed a pale light in a cone 10 feet long. This use of the gem does not expend any charges.
Another command word causes the gem of brightness to send out a very bright ray 1 foot in diameter and 50 feet long. This strikes as a ranged touch attack, and any creature struck by this beam is blinded for 1d4 rounds unless it succeeds at a Reflex save (DC 14). This use of the gem expends 1 charge.
The third command word causes the gem to flare in a blinding flash of light in a cone 30 feet long Although this glare lasts but a moment, all creatures within its area must make a Reflex save (DC 14) or be blinded for 1d4 rounds and thereafter suffer a penalty of -1 to attack rolls, Spot checks, and Search checks due to permanent eye damage. This use expends 5 charges.
Eye damage can be cured by a remove blindness or a heal spell. A newly created gem of brightness has 50 charges. When all its charges are expended, the gem becomes nonmagical.
