Chrism holder

Chrism holders are items worn by adventurers that hold chrisms and were introduced at Ebon Gate 2011. When dead, the adventurer can LOOK at the (worn) chrism holder to pop the chrism out onto the ground. When the gem hits the ground, there is an extremely small chance that the gem will break, thus leaving the body with no chrism. This is the main use for chrism holders. Analyze You analyze your brass curio and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions. The creator has also provided the following information: This brass curio is designed to hold a special kind of gem. It can be altered, but should remain something intended for holding a gem. The show description also will include the status of the brass curio's bezel setting. Sing to it for details. You get no sense of whether or not the curio may be further lightened.

Loresong Loresong Reaction As your song flows into a gold-framed round crystal pendant, your vision fades into darkness. When the darkness is lifted, you find yourself laying still on the ground.

As XXX sings to a gold-framed round crystal pendant, her eyes flutter for a moment before returning to normal. As you continue your song, your vision clouds once again.

Your vision ends abruptly as your song draws to a close. As XXX sings to the round crystal pendant, her eyes stare focusedly on something for a moment before returning to normal. Additional Information There is one alternate use for chrism holders which is less common. At Ebon Gate 2012 and other special events, merchants have offered services which would upgrade chrism holders to also work on a cleric using Symbol of the Proselyte (340). Chrism holders are not automatically holy symbols, and thus will not work with Symbol of the Proselyte unless merchant-altered for this use. Chrism holders typically cost 100,000 silvers off the shelf. Chrism holders were not available at Ebon Gate 2019. When asked on Discord on October 18, 2019 GM Wyrom stated, "Chrism Holders are likely on hiatus for a long time". Greater Chrism Holders Greater chrism holders (GCHs) were introduced at Ebon Gate 2012 and automatically chrism the wearer when LOOKed at. Thus, the wearer will receive the full benefit of a chrism without the need for a cleric raise, and there is no chance of chrism breakage from hitting the ground. In addition, GCHs provide a chance for the chrism to replenish and the gem can be used again on the next death. The holy magic within the {item} glows with a bright white aura, replenishing the blue diamond liquid interior and sealing the crack to make it whole again. The blue diamond remains nestled in the {item}'s bezel setting. Known GCHs include six that grant the wearer self-knowledge of Prayer of Protection (303) (distributed at Return to Coraesine Field), two that provide a +2 to spirit recovery enhancive (distributed at Cessation of Coraesine Field), and one that offers no benefit outside of self-chrism usage.
