LE Ioun Stones

[VorlaHusian]

I looked through an old book I have and something caught my eye, namely Ioun Stones. So I looked online and found a few references to them.

 

For all those that no not of what I speak, let me explain.

 

Ioun Stones

These crystalline stones always float in a circling orbit 1 foot from the users head. The owner may voluntarily seize and stow a stone (to keep it safe while they are sleeping, for example), but lose the benefits of the stone during that time.

Ioun stones, originally called Congenio's pebbles, are magical items often manufactured by spellcasters.

 

When functioning, ioun stones float in a circular pattern around their bearer's head, and grant various benefits based on their color. Two stones of the same type will repel each other. When drained of power, a stone becomes a dull grey, but still possesses the characteristic floating.

 

I would love to see something like this as a MoD. The pics should give modders some visual references.
