Scarf of Spellcatching

This scarf is continuously active as long as it is worn about the neck as a necklace, or around the waist as a belt, or about the arm as a bracer. No action on the wearer’s part is required to gain the effect.

A scarf of spellcatching grants the wearer a +2 luck bonus on all saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities.

If a spell targets only the wearer, and she succeeds on the save to resist its full effects, the spell is immediately absorbed by the scarf. The spell has no effect on the wearer, even if a successful save would normally have resulted in a partial effect. An absorbed spell remains inside the scarf for 1 hour per spell level, then fades harmlessly away.

Any wearer with spellcasting ability (or ranks in the Use Magic Device skill) can use a spell stored in the scarf.

If the absorbed spell is on any of the wearer’s spell lists, she can opt to “cast” the spell from the scarf as if she were casting it from her own prepared spells (or from her daily allotment of spells, if she is a spellcaster who doesn’t prepare spells). If the spell is of a level that the wearer normally couldn’t cast, she must cast it as if from a scroll and might suffer a mishap as a result. A wearer with ranks in Use Magic Device can also try to cast an absorbed spell as if from a scroll.

A scarf of spellcatching absorbs only one spell at a time, but it grants its luck bonus on saving throws as long as it remains functional. After it has absorbed a total of twenty spell levels, it unravels and is destroyed. If an incoming spell is of a higher level than the scarf’s remaining capacity, the spell is negated and the scarf is destroyed.
