Crystal of Light (Magic Crystal)

Ages past, the deep gnomes found this powerful relic in a cavern far beneath the earth. There, it “shone like a crystal star in the earth's deep night,” according to an ancient song. The gnomes released the crystal from its rocky bed and it remained a part of their collection of gems until it was stolen by a legendary thief.
One of the greatest priests of Sarkai held the crystal personally for several decades, and at the time of his death he was so obsessed with it that he decreed it should be buried with him. The crystal remained in his crypt, all but forgotten, until it was “found” by its present holder, The Prophet.
The holder of the crystal has the power to dispel darkness of any sort within 120' of it, with the command word “Allan.” No darkness, save that created by deities or by other artifacts and relics, can stand against the light of the crystal.
Minor benign powers: Bless (by touch), light (14/week), hypnotic pattern (when moved 3/day).
