Scarred Pearl
A large heavily scarred pearl set into the end of a short plain silver rod. Despite its unassuming construction, this amulet is considered very rare.
The character can use any sharp metal weapon to score a new mark on the pearl and then point this weapon at any target within 10m. The target must resist a MAGICAL ATTACK of 25 or suffer 5 Health Points of damage and have a permanent, prominent scar appear on his face that reduces his Looks by 1.
Scarred Pearls have 2d6 charges when found. When all charges are expended, the pearl crumbles and the last person to activate it receives a permanent and prominent scar on his face that reduces his Looks by 1 point (no MAGICAL DEFENCE roll applies).
