Powers This stone was used for in the creation of the figurine of wondrous power known as the serpentine owl. Certain varieties of this mineral shared the same protective properties as the gem-quality serpentine, i.e., it granted a one-time boon of a resist fire and a resist cold spell, disintegrating to dust after reacting to one each of extreme cold and extreme heat. Only skilled jewelers, miners, and spellcasters with experience working with this stone could determine if a particular sample had this magical property or not.[4]
