Item from Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore / Wizards of the Coast / Black Isle Studios
Regis's stolen hypnotic ruby — a mesmerizing gemstone that bends weak wills to the holder's suggestion, the source of both his comfortable life and his greatest danger.
The ruby pendant is Regis's most valuable possession and the reason a crime lord wants him dead. Stolen from Pasha Pook of Calimport, the gem hypnotizes anyone who gazes into its depths, making them susceptible to suggestion. Regis uses it sparingly and subtly — a nudge here, a favorable impression there. It works best on the weak-willed and fails against strong minds or those who know to avert their eyes. It is the reason Regis lives well despite having no combat skills to speak of.
A large, flawless ruby set in a simple gold pendant on a fine chain. The gem's interior seems to contain swirling depths of crimson light that draw the eye and hold it.
Also known as: Ruby Pendant, Regis's Ruby, the Hypnotic Ruby
