The Disks of Odin

Three small ivory disks inscribed with the symbols of Frigga, Sif, and Thor. Each disk has a different power: Frigga = Knowledge, Sif = Transport, Thor = Strength. In conjunction with the Eye of Odin, these disks are extremely powerful. Currently held by Cale & Strachan.

The Three Disks of Odin

(Revised per D&D 3.5 rules)

These three ivory disks measure about three inches in diameter and have a slightly convex surface with a ridge around the edge. In the center is a black design representing the deity that the item is consecrated to. The three deities are: Frigga, Sif, and Thor. Each of the three disks has unique powers, but only a fraction of their power is evident on their own. When in conjunction with the Eye of Odin, though, their full power can be used (see description later).

The Disk of Sif commands mobility and allows the wielder to Teleport once per day as the spell of the same name (Caster Level 16). With the Eye of Odin, though, it allows Dimension Door (as the spell) at will plus gives the wearer his/her full, unencumbered movement rate (or +30 feet, whichever is higher). The disk also has six charges which recharge at the rate of one per four hours. One charge can be used to Teleport (CL 16). Two charges allow Greater Teleport (as the spell, CL 16). Each additional charge doubles the carrying capacity, but adds one additional round to the casting time. See the table below for a summary of these options:

Charges Teleport Greater Teleport
Wielder plus … Wielder plus …
1 5 people (1,600#) n/a
2 10 people (3,200#) 5 people (1,600#)
3 20 people (6,400#) 10 people (3,200#)
4 40 people (12,800#) 20 people (6,400#)
5 80 people (25,600#) 40 people (12,800#)
6 160 people (51,200#) 80 people (25,600#)

The Disk of Frigga commands information gathering and allows the wielder to Commune (as the fifth level Cleric spell) with Frigga once per week. With the Eye of Odin, it allows Comprehend Languages (as the first level Magic-User spell) at will, Locate Object (as the third level Cleric spell) three times per day, and Legend Lore (as the sixth level MU spell) instead of the normal Commune once per week. Further, it allows the wielder knowledge in the form of a Deduction skill (as in Fantasy Hero).

The Disk of Thor commands strength and functions as a girdle of Stone Giant Strength (20). With the Eye of Odin, though, it functions as a Girdle of Storm Giant Strength (24).

The Eye of Odin

This transparent, multi-faceted crystal has no powers of its own, but is very powerful when combined with other magical spells or items. It is particularly attuned to the three disks of Odin as detailed above. With other spells, etc., though, it has the following effects: All spells and spell-like effects are at their maximum effect. Any victim of a spell cast through the crystal save (if appropriate) at -4. The casting level is considered four levels higher. Thus, a fourth level MU who casts a Magic Missile through the crystal will shoot four missiles (as an eigth level caster) and each missle will do five points of damage automatically.

However, only twenty levels of spells can be cast through the crystal per day and any more reduces its effectiveness with the three disks!
