Court scepter

A court scepter was a scepter used in Cormanthor.

Powers
Per the Srinshee, a court scepter could be used to read the powers of spells and duplicate them. However, it had limited charges.

Elminster later used the scepter to duplicate a spell cast earlier that evening rather than one as it was cast. He also used it to create green light, or a purple-white glow that revealed magic. The scepter could also be used to store a copy of an ongoing spell and reveal its powers.

History
The Srinshee gave one such scepter to Elminster Aumar in prior to his standing in for the Coronal for a revel in the Hallows. Elminster later used the spell duplication power of the scepter to replicate the body switch spell that the Srinshee had cast prior, to substitute himself for Elandorr Waelvor. He used the scepter later to create a ring of fire around himself, when beset by many angry revelers who believed him to have been responsible for the explosion at the Narnpool. Later that evening, he employed the scepter to determine the properties of a field during his Hunt. He spent some power from the scepter in order to power a different spell afterwards.
