This platinum helm is set with five catseye gems or agates along its brim. The helm absorbs gaze attacks (like from a medusa, basilisk, or catoblepas) and stores them allowing the helm wearer to redirect them at any future time. The helm can absorb and store up to five gaze attacks automatically in this manner. But if the wearer is subjected to any further gaze attacks when the helm has reached its capacity, he is automatically affected by all the gazes (newest to oldest) and gets no saving throws against any of them.
The helm wearer knows which gaze weapons are stored in the helm while wearing it, and can cause them to be released in any order. New gazes may be stored as soon as a slot is available. Absorbing a gaze attack takes but only 1 second and does not count as an action during a round.
