Artifacts of Ildurath: The Robes of Shimmaryn

The Robes of the Shimmaryn is an ancient artifact, an impossibly ornate set of robes that were created during the time of the Crown Wars. After the fall of Eaerlann, the robes were secreted away in the halls of Cormanthyr for safe keeping and have not been worn since.

The Robes were given to Sha’andr by the Shrinshee after he accepted his destiny as heir to the Spellmajor of Cormanthyr.

The Robes of the Shimmaryn use the power of a Shimmaryn, a small pocket of dead magic encased in a magical lattice bound to a central clasp on the robes, to provide the wearer with substantial defensive capabilities.

They grant the wearer the following persistent powers:

• + 5 armor bonus to AC
   
• Spell resistance equal to 5 + character level of the wearer

In addition, upon touching the clasp the wearer can activate the normal powers of the Shimmaryn:

• The creature can will away all magical effects currently operating on it, just as though the creature had received a greater dispelling spell that is automatically successful. (Beneficial effects end along with any harmful ones.) The user must be conscious to employ the effect.
   
• Alternatively, the user can choose to become immune to all spells, spell-like effects, and supernatural effects for 3 rounds. The wearer effectively has unbeatable spell resistance against spells and spell-like effects and a similar immunity to supernatural effects.
   
• These latter powers of the shimmaryn are safe to use only three times each day. Each additional use beyond the third per day permanently drains 1 point of Constitution from the user.
   
• Caster level: 20th
