Major Figurine of Wondrous Power, Opal Leopard
This major figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and point at the ground within 60 feet of you, the astral white panther named Glumbrand (Gloom for short) appears within the point. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn't enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn't become a creature. The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions. The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can't be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine's description. Glumbrand can be absent from the astral plane for up to 6 hours after which he begins to have to roll for exhaustion. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until the next morning. To remove exhaustion Glumbrand must remain in the Astral plane for each level of exhaustion. The figurine was crafted by the finest dwarven craftsman in the Cormanthor region and enchanted by Anders Beltgarden, a 75-year-old human ranger/wizard who lived not far outside Myth Drannor in 253 DR. It was to be a parting gift for Anders' friend, the Bladesinger Josidiah Starym, before Anders died of old age, but Josidiah saw an intelligence in the giant panther's eyes that he felt should not be caged, let alone killed; he thought the panthher's body should not be enslaved to magic and a master's command. The elf's arguments eventually appealed to the ranger in Anders, and he could not go through with the slaying. He let the cat go, only to follow the panther to a hill where Josidiah was under attack by a trio of giants and several dozen orcs. With the help of the panther and Anders, the monsters were defeated, but the cat was mortally wounded from the battle. The pair rushed the panther back to Anders' tower in a portable hole and decided to quickly carry out the enchanting ritual to save the panther's life. Anders called the cat "Whiskers,". Anders intended for the panther's spirit to become fused with the onyx statuette; the statuette was to transform into the panther when instructed by its owner, like any other such magical item. However, during the final stage of the ritual, the magic of the binding also absorbed that of the extra-dimensional hole the panther was partially lying in, causing a brief rift to the Astral Sea. Therefore, rather than being absorbed by the statuette, the panther's spirit was merely bound to the statuette and came to inhabit the Astral Sea. When the panther was called forth to test the ritual's success, the panther was not a slave like a normal figurine of Wondrous power would produce, but the same panther, with all of panther intelligence intact. Also, the figurine summoned the panther rather than transforming into the panther as a normal figurine would, making the magic item truly unique. Little did they know when the ritual split the statuette in two, and hurled an opal statuette into the Astreal Sea. it looked identical to the onyx statuette. It was said they onyx statuette was lost in the underdark. The Opal Statuette whent through a few masters before it ended up with Ashe Shadowthorn.
