Akh Stone

Aura moderate evocation and necromancy; CL 9th; Slot slotless; Price 40,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This fist-sized rock is carved from the shattered remains of an ancient tomb into a rough icon representing one of the deities guarding the afterlife.

EFFECTS

As a sanctified tomb holds the spirit of its inhabitant within it so, too, does the smaller stone contain the ability to impede restless souls when properly used to enhance spells. An akh stone may be used as an additional focus component in any spell which creates a physical or energy-based barrier. The barrier resulting from the spell treats incorporeal creatures as though they lack the incorporeal subtype for purposes of damaging or impeding them, in addition to its normal effects. Additionally, for the spell’s duration, all terrain squares within 100 feet of the spell’s center are rendered impassable to incorporeal creatures. Using the akh stone does not increase the casting time or otherwise alter the act of casting the spell. An akh stone is usable once per day.
