Crystal holder

Crystal holders, or crystal holding jewelry, allow an adventurer to wear a magical crystal on their person that they would otherwise have to hold and rub on the go. New crystals beyond what is found in the treasure system were introduced shortly after crystal holding jewelry was was first sold. All crystals placed in a crystal holder require Magic Item Use to activate, including those that normally can be used without it (i.e., blue crystals, white crystals, and black crystals).

There are restrictions on the alterations, as any crystal pushed into the slot will add to the LONG description of the item. Specialized merchants can work on the crystal holder to change the socket, which alters the way the crystal appears. There are a handful of options to choose from.
