Black Sapphire

Black sapphire is a rare variety of

sapphire that is a deep, rich black with yellow or white

highlights. These jewels come mostly from the South,

in particular the Great Rift, since they are most plentiful

in the Deep Realm of the dwarves and are

brought up through the Great Rift to the surface

world for trading.

A black sapphire included in any wand with a spell that

has the darkness descriptor increases the save DC against

the wand’s effect by +2. If no saving throw applies or is

allowed, it instead adds +2 to the effective caster level of

the effect.
