Chiliad's Buckler Disk

A small, domed disk of polished silver, its mirror surface etched with intricate Celtic style zoomorphic interlace that catches the light like liquid mercury. The design changes every time the disk enlarges or returns to its original size. Designs include Celtic cross, triquetra, triskele, knotwork, leaves, dragons, serpents, owls and other animals.

A replaceable slender leather strap secures it to the wrist.

Powers

With a mere thought, the diminutive three-inch disk enlarges into a formidable spiked buckler, crowned with a dagger like spike. When enlarged it enhances armor class as a small shield.

Combat Benefits

The artifact grants:

• +1 to Armor Class (regardless of size)
• +1 to attack and damage when the spike is used as a weapon

It functions similarly to a main-gauche, combining shield defense with melee offense. The buckler may be used by any class proficient with edged weapons.

Magical Effects

When in buckler form:

• Illumination radius of 5 feet (magical light source)
• One magic missile per day (at the DM's discretion or on a specific trigger)
