Abandoned Inn crystal

The Abandoned Inn Crystal, located in the Abandoned Inn, is a clear blue crystal set in dented brass, used to determine the magical properties of items. It is used by the character first holding the item to be divined in the left hand, then TOUCHing the crystal with the other. The resulting message is determined by the properties of the item.
