Help
Ioun stones are a class of magic-imbued gem noted among scholars of the arcane arts for their ability to pass on a variety of effects and abilities to their possessors. According to psuedo-erudites, the late Tamarack the Enchanter rediscovered the art of imbuing precious gems with the iounic enchantment while digging through the remains of the ancient Istax Empire. Unfortunately, through the vagaries of strife and time, that secret is feared to be lost once again.
Info
You may activate and deactivate an ioun stone by tapping it.

Chaos Favour
- Chaos favour +1 to +3
- Material: Coruscar
You link your anthropic mind with <§> Meg <§>'s animal one. Both your dazzling violet eyes and <§> Meg <§>'s black eyes sparkle softly for a brief moment. You stare intently at your coruscar. A halo of sparkling bright blue light forms around your fresh brainstem and then traverses to your coruscar. Your coruscar shudders and jerks, as though it has been imparted with motive power. Your fresh brainstem disintegrates.
This remarkable gemstone sparkles with every color of the rainbow. It is a smooth sphere in shape, about a fifth of a dimin across. This is a coruscar, a rare gem formed by an extraplanar lifeform called a polypid, similar to the way in which oysters form pearls. Its smooth spherical shape is common to all coruscars in their natural state, and its size is typical. Beyond the value these gems have for their beauty and rarity, they are sometimes sought after by mages and alchemists for certain unusual physical properties they are said to have. It is one of the class of enchanted gems known as ioun stones, noted by scholars of the arcane arts for their ability to pass on a variety of effects and abilities to their possessors. This particular ioun stone will grant the user an increased affinity with the force of chaos. It has a few thin wisps of auroric radiance within and around it. It is in perfect condition. It looks about a fifth of a dimin across. It weighs very little. You estimate its value at about three thousand eight hundred gold.
You may activate and deactivate an ioun stone by tapping it. 'help ioun stones' has some general information on the topic. The ioun coruscar of chaos favour was created by Chaos; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:31:43 2009. The material coruscar was created by Chaos and is maintained by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:30:00 2009.
You tap your ioun coruscar of chaos favour with your right hand. You relax your mind, attempting to let the ioun coruscar of chaos favour attune itself to your essence. Your ioun coruscar of chaos favour quivers gently and hovers away from your right hand. Your ioun coruscar of chaos favour steadies itself and begins flying around your head in a seemingly random elliptical orbit.
