This censer is a perforated iron ball hung from a jeweled chain. The holy symbol of Nerull is inscribed on a boss at its center.
Nerull's faithful fill the censer of the last breath with ground gems rather than incense. When you burn 10 gp worth of quartz dust in it, the censer produces an obscuring mist effect, which, if you are neutral evil, neutral, lawful evil, or chaotic evil, you can see through as if it weren't there.
Filling the censer is a standard action. Once it has been filled, it automatically starts burning the quartz dust, creating a cloud in a 20-foot radius emanation centered on you. For the duration of the effect, the cloud moves with you as long as you hold the censer. The quartz dust burns in the censer for 10 rounds, after which the cloud dissipates.
Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, you can burn other kinds of gem dust in the censer to produce additional effects, as detailed on the table below. In each case, the cloud produced is the same size as the one produced by the quartz dust and behaves in the same way, except as noted on the table. You are always unaffected by the cloud created.
