Lyassa's Mantle

Lyassa's Mantle is a quarter inch by half inch diameter oval cabochon rainbow moonstone. Even with centuries of elven knowledge stored within, the gem remains crystal clear with the typical silvery blue sheen of a moonstone but with an added layer of swirling rainbow colors. When activated, the rainbow colors become faintly luminescent with one color becoming dominant when powers are activated, based on the owner who added the power.

Mantle

Each new owner can add a pair of spells, one offensive and one defensive or utility, to the mantle at the cost of a permanent loss of one hit point. Activating the mantle for a 24 hour period requires the owner to pay with a hit point which is temporarily lost. One offensive power and three utility powers can be used during the period of activation. The owner can pay an additional hit point which is temporary lost, to activate the mantle a second time within a 24 hour period. Each activation allows for one attack and three defense or utility spells, activated automatically in the case of defensive magic or by silent will for attacks and utility spells.
