### Gag of Exquisite Pain - Item 6 (Uncommon) (Invested) (Emotion) (Magical) **Price** 225 gp **Usage** worn necklace; **Bulk** 1 While bound in this arcane gag, the wearer becomes eerily serene—untouched by spells that inflict torment of the mind. Magic such as _[[Savor the Sting]]_, _[[Retributive Pain]]_, and _[[Phantom Pain]]_ find no purchase here; their anguish is rendered hollow. Yet true suffering—wounds and effects that strike through the body with tangible agony, as in _[[Painful Vibrations]]_—remains. The difference is alchemical, intimate: the gag transmutes every throb of pain into ecstasy. The damage remains unchanged, but the experience of it shifts. A shriek might become a moan, a tremble might become a shiver of pleasure. The mind, after all, is a malleable thing—and this device reshapes its response to suffering in ways most would never admit to craving.
