I know there was a thread somewhere for a Magic Shoppe, but can't find it.

Some conversions of Magic Items from Menzoberranzan boxed set.
What you all think?

Amulet of Phelthong: Named for the drow wizard of fabled powers who devised them long ago, these rare, fist-sized obsidian pendants are carved into smiling drow faces. In Menzoberranzan, they are worn only by powerful master mages of Sorcere. Such amulets have the following powers:
· Comprehend Languages whenever held or worn.
· Quickened Dimension Door twice per day, by silent mental command.
· Quickened Obscuring Mist once per day, by silent mental command.
· Timestop once every 12 days, by speaking a secret command word while touching the amulet to a magical item (which is forever drained).
Source: Menzoberranzan boxed set, converted to 3.5E by Joseph Weber.
Strong Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, and Transmutation; CL 18th; Craft Wondrous Item, Quicken Spell, Comprehend Languages, Dimension Door, Mordenkainen’s Disjunction, Obscuring Mist, Timestop; Price 200,000 gp.





Orb of Radiance: These hand-sized globes of polished white quartz are among the most valued items of drow mages, who use them to defend themselves against drow attack (or to sufficiently impress other drow, particularly hostile priestesses, that attacks can be avoided). Any being who knows the command words can use an Orb of Radiance, as long as some part of their skin is in direct contact with it. While they hold it or carry it on their person, they make all saving throws against any sort of magic at a -1 penalty.
It is whispered that these rare items were first fashioned with the aid of surface-world priests of other faiths. In Menzoberranzan, such items are carried only by wizards of Sorcere, or perhaps as hidden treasures by nobles of one or more of the most powerful noble Houses.
When directed, an Orb of Radiance can emit a:
· Sunbeam (four times per day): as the spell, command words: “Delather myarra heth!”
· Persistent Light (once every other round, remains in globe where cast, not moving with orb, and unless dispelled by other means, lasts exactly 1 day from casting), command word: “Aumrae!”
· Ruby Ray (once per day, effects as Ruby Ray of Reversal), each time the Ruby Ray power is activated it drains 1d4+1 hit points from the orb-user; such lost hit points can be regained by normal healing means. The command word for this power is: “Raspra!”
Source: Menzoberranzan boxed set, converted to 3.5E by Joseph Weber.
Strong Abjuration and Evocation; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, Extend Spell, Persistent Spell, Light, Ruby Ray of Reversal, Sunbeam; Price 409,500 gp.

These are indeed two very interesting items Warlocko, specially the Amulet. Any drow would feel safer with such a powerfull artifacts by his side.

Yes, I'm a follower of the drow "magical technology" So i'd love to see more stuff.

Not really. It's just always interesting to see updated conversions for older magical items... especially when they're fan-based.

I say, go WILD! ...
