Lens (EM)

See also Table H: Gems & Jewelry (EM) and Eye (EM).

A lens is a ground piece of glass made nearly flat but having curved surfaces on both sides. Seen from the edge, lenses are either concave or convex. Lenses in medieval settings are usually of poor quality and often crudely made; a good lens is the product of rare, pure materials and weeks of careful polishing, measuring, and testing.

Magical lenses appear to be identical to normal ones and are often found in small leather cases or fur-lined, wooden boxes. Every lens has at least one command word. The user need only speak the command while looking carefully through the lens with one eye.

Mixing lens types is certain to cause immediate insanity for 2d4 turns. Once the period of madness has passed, the character can (and should) remove one of the magical lenses.
