Eldritch Artifact:
The Hand of Tadhg
The Hand of Tadhg is an ancient
Iosan artifact. It once belonged
to an eldritch named Tadhg, an
elf rumored by many to have
been the first eldritch. He was
slain by an elven hero of old,
and during the battle the eldritch’s
hand was severed and cast aside.
An unknown magician secreted the
severed member away and fashioned it
into a powerful artifact.

Any who wield the Hand of Tadhg become completely immune
to ability damage, ability drain, and energy (level) draining
attacks. Furthermore, the wielder gains the eldritch’s ability score
drain ability as if he possessed it himself; it works exactly as
described, and the user must make a successful touch attack to
employ it. The touch attack need not be
made with the artifact. The user gains
no special benefit from draining ability
scores though rumors claim if one drains
enough, he will turn into an eldritch
as well.
