Tuesday Magic Item – Grave Goggles

Gollaon said, adjusting their goggles, “I feel a bit foolish in these things.”

Voddick shrugged.  “If they work as they are supposed to it will be worth looking a bit foolish.”

Gollaon stopped dead in their tracks.  “Oh, they work.”

Grave Goggles

These goggles are constructed of glass from a religious site, recast in flames from a funerary pyre with fitting made from leather and metal recovered from the dead.  They are always cold but condensation never collects upon them.

The glass of the goggles is a smudged gray color, visual perception checks through them are at a -4 circumstance penalty except in direct sunlight.

But the unliving (corporeal undead) seen through its lens are a faintly glowing blue.  While the unbound (spirits) are seen in a glowing red, the deeper the red the more hostile they are to living beings.  (The strange occurrence of an unbound spirit possing an unliving body, or such, would produce a flickering purple image.)

This makes it very difficult for such beings to avoid the sight of the goggle’s wearer, even if they would normally be invisible or concealed.
