"I love it, it's delightful! The only thing more quintessentially 'Wizard' would be a pointed hat!"- Shandra Laveticus, Senior Apprentice at the School of the Omnipotent Eye

Description

An Arcane Circlet appears as a thin golden band with arcane runes etched along its entire length. At the center is a small red gemstone that glows with power when its greater abilities are used. The gemstone always radiates a faint red light once it is donned by an arcane spellcaster.

Lore

Much like the Spellcaster's Ring, this Circlet was devised as a learning aid, but its powers are so useful that many of these bands turn up "missing" shortly after an apprentice graduates to a full-fledged wizard. In fact, it is something of a celebration ritual in some magical orders to steal an Arcane Circlet from an academy treasurer once it has been placed in a secure spot, both to blow off steam and demonstrate one's magical prowess. It is a fine practitioner indeed that does not require the aid of an Arcane Circlet to steal from a school of mages.
