     This is a device I thought about for a possible campaign. Take some rough
crystal ( ruby, sapphire, emerald, but it has to be carmorundum , glass simply
will not do), and cut it into a cylindrical rod. Polish one end perperdicularly
and silver it. Polish the other end at about a five degree angle, and 
partially silver it. Result: LASER CRYSTAL!

     To use, cast a light spell ( normally level 1 ) to originate from inside
the crystal. The crystal will concentrate the light into a cutting beam,
suitable for slicing prison bars, drilling holes into adamantine, or slicing
live dragon into dragon steaks.

Could anyone give me some suggestions for play restrictions on the use of
this device?
