The Exile's Gift

This item is a beautiful swan carved of ivory and inlaid with silver. A pair of pearls of impossible smallness serve the place of eyes. At the command of the item's owner, the ivory swan grows into a full size swan. It may take this form for up to 8 hours at time, and may not be active for more than 24 hours in a given week.

Special Ability (Activation by Elf Only): The swan may lay a silver egg, worth about 2-5 sp. This ability requires that the swan be activated and stationary for eight hours, after which time the egg is laid and the swan reverts to statuette form.
