Halaster's magnifying glass

Halaster's magnifying glass was an enchanted lens, imbued with powerful magics yet virtually useless, presumably created by the Mad Mage of Undermountain, Halaster Blackcloak himself.

Powers
This item was warm to the touch and was pulsing with powerful and almost palpable magic. Strangely enough, Halaster's magnifying glass did no actual magnifying and functionally offered no optic aid, and seemingly was completely useless. However, if used against insect creatures such as fomorians, Halaster's magnifying glass was a surprisingly powerful implement of torture.

History
In the late 14 century DR, Halaster's magnifying glass could be found within the mega-dungeon underneath Waterdeep – Undermountain, in possessions of a decrepitly old blue dragon.
