This small black sphere appears to be a lusterless pearl. A bead of force can be thrown up to 60 feet. Upon sharp impact, the bead explodes, sending forth a burst that deals a certain amount of force damage, depending on the quality, to all creatures within a 10-foot radius.
Once thrown, a bead of force functions like the Resilient Sphere spell with a radius of 10 feet, a Reflex to negate, and a duration of 10 minutes. The sphere’s Reflex DC, AC, Hardness, and Toughness depend on the quality of the bead. The explosion completely consumes the bead, making this a one-use item. A bead of force is an uncommon item.
