An age of Wonders treasure. Not even the finest glass makers can create such fine and clear pieces now. If these are even made of glass. There are two headsets. Each has a set of lenses that allows the wearer to see threads of magic in the air. I found them in the possessions of a renowned thief. They helped him break through the magical locks and traps in my manor house. Fortunately they did not help him outrun from the town guard. And once in my possession they did very little to help him escape the night before his hanging. The eccentric wizard Grangomelle

Each headset is made of leather, with a metal frame that allows different lenses to be pulled into the wearer's line of sight. Different lenses seem to have varying effects and can show different kinds of magic in different ways.

One set is very good at cutting through magical disguises, another seems to do little more than show a vague outline of the natural flow of magic.

What manner of artistry was able to manufacture such a wonder has been completely lost to time. The craftsmanship is a stark reminder of the knowledge lost when the Age of Wonders came crashing to an end.[/blockquote]
