The Untouchable Opal was a fine-cut, fist-sized opal around which bands of air constantly whipped. It granted its owner various abilities related to air and served as the prison of Ranginori, a good-aligned elemental lord defeated by his evil rivals. The Pathfinder Society destroyed the artifact in 4718 AR, releasing Ranginori from it.

The destroyed Opal's remnants were entrusted to Sorrina Westyr for burial in the most distant parrts of the Universe.

Abilities

The Opal could generate lightning, produce a columnar thunderstorm 60 feet in radius that emitted directed bolts of lightning on its wielder's command, and summon air elementals who would serve its wielder.

Destruction

The Opal could be destroyed only by the combined power of the elemental lords of Earth, Fire, and Water. These conditions were fulfilled in 4718 AR, when Pathfinders used The Breath of Lysianassa and Fossilblight to shatter the Opal at Kandirion's Pyre. The act also destroyed Fossilblight.

Associated artifacts

There were three other artifacts that entrapped beneficent elemental lords who were defeated by their evil counterparts: the Gasping Pearl, the Garnet Brand, and the Moaning Diamond.
