Magic Item: Shining Blade of Keljaia

Shining Blade of Keljaia: Not a "blade" at all, this magical ring is a band of translucent crystal. When closely inspected, it appears to hold a tiny rippling ribbon of golden flames within its core.

When so willed by the ring's wearer, the Shining Blade produces a thin blade-like ray of golden fire a foot or so in length; the wearer may then attack as if wielding a dagger +1. Damage may also be withheld if so chosen, such as to leave no more than a fine slice down a target's cheek as a warning.

Keljaia Sunfire was, in her day, a powerful and flamboyant magic-user known for her unique and strange spells that mixed elemental energies into new and often unpredictable forms. her final fate is unknown, but the Shining Blade began to circulate through dungeoneer's circles some years ago. A common speculation is that the pattern of the ring's ribbon of flame conceals the formula for a unique spell -- or possibly more than one.

All these cool items make me want to play in your campaigns. I really like the little background extras.

Thank ye kind! I'm glad you're enjoying them. :3

We don't actually get to play often over here though (conflicting schedules); I wouldn't wish that on anyone --
