Each of the gods of the Great Ennead has the power to create an ankh of power at will. In practice, however, they are rarely manufactured. It is believed that fewer than a dozen of these priceless objects exist.
An ankh of power glows as if under the influence of a light spell. The light is pure and holy, having the power to drive away any undead creature it shines upon. Any attempt to conceal or darken the light results in the instant destruction of the ankh.
Any healing spell casted while holding the ankh in hand is at double effectiveness. Further, as long as the object is in their possession, the wielder is immune to all forms of poison and disease, including such unusual afflictions as mummy rot and lycanthropy.
Lastly, an ankh of power can cast a Sunburst spell three times per day if the wielder speaks a command word unique to the individual ankh.
