The Palantir of Orthanc A shining white ball of unbreakable crystal, the ancient Palantiri were used by kings of Numenor and later by the Exiles for rapid communication between distant lands. Nothing is hidden from one who gazes into a Palantir, but the observed will also be aware of the observer, as was Sauron when Saruman tried to spy on him with this particular Palantir. It can be activated for clairvoyance every 100+d100 turns if it is being worn. It provides light (radius 2) forever. It increases your intelligence, wisdom, searching and infravision by 2. It provides resistance to blindness. It allows you to see invisible monsters. It gives telepathic powers. It drains mana. It aggravates nearby creatures. It cannot be harmed by acid, cold, lightning or fire. Level 75, Rarity 60, 20.0 lbs, 100000 Gold (T.o.M.E. 2.3.5)
