This item is a pair of arm clasps, worn around the arms, filling the wrists slot. They may fit anywhere between wrists and shoulders, although they usually ride the arms below the elbow. It is even possible there is only one torque, but in such cases, nothing can be worn on the other wrist slot of a magical nature.
They can be highly decorated or plain, and often express themes of grace and speed, with decorations of leaping animals, racers running in a footrace, or abstract designs that evoke motion. They can be made of leather, fabrics, woven cords, or various metals.
Upon donning the torques, the wearer feels an incredible sensation of perfect awareness of how their body moves, and gain nigh-superhuman reflexes, even though their appearance is unchanged. For the first 24 hours, the user is unused to their new hyper-kinetic reaction speed, and will find themselves reflexively catching dropped glasses without spilling a drop, plucking flying insects from the air with chopsticks, aimlessly stacking coins on edge in tall stacks, balancing daggers on all their fingertips at once, etc. This is impressive, and neccesary, as the wearer grows accustomed enough to their new abilities to use them to their fullest. After becoming attuned, the wearer gains perfect control, and may choose to perform such feats of legerdemain, rather than doing them by sheer reflex.
After growing accustomed to the Torques, the wearer gains many subtle but powerful benefits, so that such items are often highly prized indeed.
The enhancement bonus granted by this item does not stack with similar enhancement bonuses from other items that grant the same benefits. After all, one can only be so quick....
The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
