Cupric Brooch

This small copper dragon scale is set in a rectangular granite frame affixed to a metal pin.

Three times per day, a cupric brooch enables its wearer to move and breathe freely when passing through any type of stone or earth (but not magma or lava). This effect does not grant the wearer the ability to see within stone or earth, and his speed is likely halved along with the other effects of blindness. The wearer travels as though walking (or swimming, if that would result in a faster movement rate) and can move in any direction. He can’t use the brooch to pass through stone or earthen creatures. The effect lasts for 1 minute.

A cupric brooch is activated as a full-round action. Anyone donning one receives mental instructions in Draconic on the effects of the item and how to activate it.

This item is a dweomered dragon scale.
