Wyrmtongue scepter

A wyrmtongue scepter was an enchanted scepter from Cormanthor with a variety of powers.
==Description==
The silver rod was fluted and chased, with one end tapering into a stylized flame, and the other end topped with a fist-sized sapphire. A slender, realistically depicted dragon was carved into a curling form around the scepter's body, with two eyes made of emerald and amber. At the tip of its tail, it curled around an alestone.
==Powers==
By touching the emerald eye at the same time as the sapphire, the scepter launched a ray of white light that dealt grievous damage to undead, and to undead only. The ray traveled for and hung in the air for a minute; it was possible to direct it during this time, effectively using it to attack.
Touching the amber and the sapphire, the scepter fired off a different straight beam of light. Up to three of them could be fired off within a minute; those dealt electric damage when they struck.
Touching the alestone and the sapphire, the scepter launched a backlash field. This power was available only twice daily.
The scepter could also be willed to float in place, staying there indefinitely.
==History==
Several dozen such scepters were made in Cormanthor, wielded by Elven high mages of the realm and their agents, often to deal with renegade wizards.
In , Elminster purchased a wyrmtongue scepter from Surgath Ilder, a prospector who was experimenting with the device after retrieving it from an elven tomb.
==Reputation==
As of , one such scepter was said to be hidden within the Royal Palace of Suzail.
