Although it appears to be a normal pearl,
a pearl of wisdom
will cause a cleric to increase 1 point
in wisdom if he or she retains
the pearl for a 1 month period.
The increase happens at the expiration of
30 days, but thereafter the pearl must
be retained by the cleric and kept on
his or her person, or the 1 point gain
will be lost. Note that 1 in 20 of these
magical pearls are cursed to work in reverse,
but once the 1 point of
wisdom is lost, the pearl turns to powder,
and the loss i s permanent barring
some magical restoration means such as
a wish or Tome of Understonding.
Q. If a Priest with
a WIS of 13 gains a
pearl of wisdom does the use of the
item enable the priest to gain a
WIS of 19?
A. Yes. The priest in question would
gain a WIS of 19 for as long as the
pearl was in his possession.
Details of the effects of this improved
WIS can be found on p7 of the
DEITIES & DEMIGODS Cyclopdia.
