Amplifier

The Amplifier, or similar to it amulets of metaspell influence, were enchanted amulets that boosted the wearer's magical gifts.

Powers
The Amplifier and similar amulets of metaspell influence possessed enchantments that enhanced the wearer's arcane spellcasting abilities, expanding their minds, allowing for additional spells of a lower complexity to be memorized per day.

History
The original Amplifier was created by Elairdrin Mellwith of the Star Mountains long before the late 14 century DR. Elairdrin's motivations were far from scholarly. He used his Amplifier to aid his womanizing habits. Sometime later, the original Amplifier was claimed from Elairdrin by a wizard who planned to use the amulet to harness his destructive magics. How the item was claimed remained unclear as historic accounts of that event varied wildly.

By the late 14 century DR, amulets of metaspell influence became highly sought after by mages of all walks of life.
