Logan involuntarily raises a hand to shield his eyes from the bright glow of the magical auras in the room.
[sblock=Logan]The great sword radiates strong abjuration, the rod is powerful but without a particular school of magic, the slim straight staff surmounted by a gem is ablaze with magical potential of multiple schools, a tower shield wrapped with strips of cloth gives off powerful emanations of a necromantic type, 9 assorted vials, philters, bottles and flasks all radiate minor magics, 9 scrolls--some arcane and some divine give off various levels of power from mild to quite potent, a set of lens in a frame with a leather head strap carry moderate divinatory power, a gold ring etched with a feather pattern shows a faint transmutation, a spear with moderate evocation leans against the wall near the door, one long sword has a mild aura of abjuration while the other has a sense of moderate transmutation.[/sblock]
In addition to the magical items the floor is littered with coins of various denominations and perhaps a hundred gems. While most of the gems are worth only a few gold pieces each a few particularly nice specimens can be seen. A black pearl near the center of the room is worth at least 10,000 gp and the rubies and diamonds set into the skull on the bier are easily worth half again as much collectively.
