![[Jargoon pic.png|250]] **Jargoon** was a rare variety of [zircon](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Zircon "Zircon") found in the Realms ## Description Jargoons were valued for their resemblance to deep red [rubies](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ruby "Ruby") in color and luster. A typical specimen had a base value of 100 gp. ## Powers One powerful use of this gemstone was as a [[Magic Missile]] enhancer. The caster held a jargoon in a hand and cast _magic missile_ through it. This caused the jargoon to explode, but the number of missiles was doubled with no alteration in targets, damage, range, _etc._ The drawback was that the explosion damaged the caster's hand as if struck by a single particularly strong _magic missile_. ## Rumors and Legends[](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Jargoon?veaction=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Rumors and Legends") An unproven legend stated that a jargoon could prevent a [lycanthrope](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lycanthrope "Lycanthrope") from changing out of [human](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Human "Human") form.
