CONSTRUCTION:

Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Bind Elemental, Touch of the Sea

Cost: 29,500 and a Khyber dragonshard worth at least 5,000 gp

Description:

This salling ship has been fitted with a Khyber dragonshard with a bound air elemental below deck that is linked to a massive crystal ring located behind the ship and a series of fins along the sides. This allows the ship to move at 120' without the need of muscle or wind. Controlling the elemental requires contact with the helm, located above deck, and uses the normal rules concerning elemental vessels, although certain Lyrandar dragonmarked items makes this easier. In all other ways, it functions as a normal sailing ship.
