+==== 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!
