Black Elfstone

The Black Elfstone was capable of great evil.

The Black Elfstone was a single Elfstone. It had the power to subvert magic and convert it to the holder’s use, rendering them invulnerable to any magic.

The reason for its creation and original purpose were lost in time, but the Ildatch made deliberate and purposeful references to its capabilities.
