But a pendant... [ he taps claws against the table. then he presses the pages of his booklet into a crease, tearing out the few. ] I can do. I can get one to you in a few days.

This picture is of something my roommate owns. It has a similar effect; she wears it, and it casts an illusion around her that's unique to her person. I'm unsure if she would be willing to let you borrow it to study, but if you need...
