A gem of night is essentially a piece of solid shadow that can grow into a shadow elemental. The item appears to be a reflective black gemstone. It is a rough globe, covered in hundreds of tiny facets. It is vaguely cold to the touch and seems to absorb rather than reflect light. Anyone can benefit from a gem of night. To activate it, the gem must be crushed, smashed, or broken (a standard action).
The gem conjures a large shadow elemental under the control of the creature that broke the gem. The elemental is banished back to the Plane of Shadow after 13 rounds.
