Ioun Dagger

*Aura Strong evocation; CL 12th; Weight —; Price 27,0302
This deep red and purple rhomboid appears to be a normal ioun stone but provides no passive benefit while orbiting a creature. However, once per round in place of any ranged attack, the creature may mentally will the stone to transform into a crystalline +2 returning dagger and fly out at an opponent. This behaves in all ways as if the creature had drawn and thrown the dagger, except it does not apply the creature's Strength modifier to damage, and does not require a free hand. When the dagger returns, it transforms back into an ioun stone and, if the creature has not moved, resumes orbiting them. Multiple ioun daggers can be used to make multiple such attacks per round. The stone can also be plucked from orbit by the creature to be wielded as a normal +2 returning dagger, returning to ioun stone form if it is returned to orbit or unattended for 1 round. Plucking and returning the dagger in this way counts for all purposes as drawing and sheathing it, including the actions it takes to do so. Ioun daggers provide no benefit when embedded or set in a wayfinder.
