Black Opal

Black opal is a greenish type of opal with

black mottling and gold flecks, usually found in ancient hot

springs or their dry remnants. The Faerûn phrase “black as

a black opal” means, effectively, not very black (or evil) at

all. It is used to describe good-hearted rogues and similar individuals

who would be embarrassed by praise.

A black opal included in any wand with a spell that

has the force descriptor increases the save DC against the

wand’s effect by +1. If no saving throw applies or is

allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of

the effect.
