Description: Among the most powerful figurines is the coveted tourmaline turtle. The figurine is not so much prized for its considerable power in battle, but for the utility it offers to its conjurer. The turtle, when called forth from the small carving, is enormous, with a mighty structure on its back offering shelter and comfort to those permitted entry. Furthermore, the device also functions as a vehicle, allowing passengers to cross the planes with but a single command.
