==Gem of Brightness==
===Description===
[[File:Gem of Brightness.jpg|thumb|Gem of Brightness]]This prism shaped gem, roughly three inches long and 2 inches wide, could almost be made from glass, as it is so clear.  When it catches the light, as expected, it makes pretty rainbows, but when you look closely into the middle, a faint swirling cloudiness can be seen.    

===Details===
Wondrous item, uncommon

This prism has '''37''' charges. While you are holding it, you can use an action to speak one of three command words to cause one of the following effects:

* The first command word (''"'''Daw'''" - the word for "light" in Al'Shekeim'') causes the gem to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. This effect doesn’t expend a charge. It lasts until you use a bonus action to repeat the command word or until you use another function of the gem.
* The second command word (''"'''Ash'Can Ta!'''" - the phrase "I blind you!" in Al'Shekeim'') expends 1 charge and causes the gem to fire a brilliant beam of light at one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
* The third command word (''"'''Ash'Can Tau!'''" - the phrase "I blind you (plural)!" in Al'Shekeim'') expends 5 charges and causes the gem to flare with blinding light in a 30-foot cone originating from it. Each creature in the cone must make a saving throw as if struck by the beam created with the second command word.

When all of the gem’s charges are expended, the gem becomes a nonmagical jewel worth 50 gp.

===History===
This was given to Cormir by <u>[[Kadra Tourmaline]]</u> as thanks for the party bringing back the stolen food supplies from [[Fort Frostfell]]</u>.  See <u>[[Session007|Session 007]]</u>.  She hadn't mentioned where she got it from, but given her subsequent admission that she was descended from a line of sorcerers - who can only come from <u>[[Al'Shekeim]]</u>, and that the command words are in that language, it is clear that it must have been made in that land.
