Hands of the Healing Spirit (Magic Amulet)

This elegant amulet is made of white gold. The amulet is a circle formed by three crooked arms, with three hands clasped together at its center.
The amulet was crafted during the Age of Dreams by Sirrion and given to Mishakal so that she would intercede with Shinare for him. In time, the amulet came into the possession of Trae Jerrold, who gave it to Mirri Witikell upon their betrothal. The wicked schemes of Hiddukel betrayed the young lovers, entrapping Mini's life force in the amulet itself. According to a mystic prophecy, “Mirri shall one day find rest with the spirits of her lover and his brother.”
Eventually, the hands of the healing spirit fell into the possession of Huma of the Lance, given to him by his uncle. When Huma at last admitted his love for the elf maid Gwynneth (the silver dragon El'liolle or “Silver Heart”) he gave her this amulet as a pledge. Gwynneth wisely gave the amulet to her younger sister Dargent before she followed Huma through death's doorway. Dargent honored Gwynneth by taking the name of Silvara when she moved among mortals as a wild elf.
Centuries passed before the amulet again changed hands. This time it was given to a wild ogre of unexpected wit ant! compassion, who tried to lead his people away from darkness and into harmony. After the Cataclysm, the amulet was held by a mad gnome named Fractore Gearslip, the dark wizard Dalamar, and the kender Glendoll Allseer. At last, it returned to the dragon Dargent. Tale has decreed that the amulet must one day be given to another mortal who captures Dargent's heart.
The amulet detects only minor magic, for its might conies from the spirit of Mirri trapped within. It adds a +3 bonus to saves against all poisons and diseases and adds a +3 bonus to the wearer's Wisdom, allowing spell bonuses to priests. It continuously radiates an aura equal to a protection from evil 10' radius spell.
Once per day, the wearer can cast one of every healing spell: cure blindness or deafness, cure critical wounds, cure disease, cure light wounds, cure serious wounds, heal, and neutralize poison. It can evoke continual light as well. However, each time an effect is invoked, the user must make a system shock roll or become exhausted for 1d6 turns.
The hands of the healing spirit promote harmony and cooperation, and grants a +3 to all reaction rolls made by the wearer. Further, the wearer slowly begins to shift alignment toward neutral good, and is repeatedly drawn to provide succor for the oppressed and aid for the injured. This artifact doubles the healing rate of the wearer and prelects against the infirmities of time and age, keeping the body healthy and vibrant. The wearer is undying.
The hands of the healing spirit are one of the three artifacts in the Circle of Love, created by Mishakal to end the war between two noble families. The spirit of Mirri's love is in the amulet, Trae and his brother Heris are trapped in the other two artifacts: the ring of nature's healing and the armband of Trueheart's warding. The hands of the healing spirit oppose the coin of greed in the Triad of Betrayal, artifacts created by Hiddukel.
