Sphere of Nath (Minor Artifact)

Aura strong conjuration; CL 20th; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

When held, this dark, palm-sized glass sphere lets you use the physical attributes of another location you are familiar with. For example, you can use the advantage of magical standing stones on a mountaintop while in a basement miles away, an underwater cavern, or your own spellcasting chamber. In a sense, you are in two places at once. However, the properties do not extend beyond your person. It also allows you to meet any location component of a ritual or spell. You cannot cast a spell through the connection to bypass the normal range restrictions of spells. (Thus, a spell you cast with the aid of the sphere still takes effect from your location, not from the location the sphere is connected to.)

DESTRUCTION

A sphere of Nath can be destroyed by sending it through a gate while it is linked to the location of a Great Old One or similarly powerful entity.
