'PRAYER BEADS' Syntax: beads <mana amount between 50 and 500> Prayer beads are the only objects that monks can hold without hindering their unarmed fighting ability. Monks can control the amount of power used in making their prayer beads. The more power used, the bigger the benefits that come from holding these beads. As a monk grows skilled in anatomy, prayer beads worn around the neck become a last resort in combat. If a monk is beaten down near death while fighting, they may instinctively use their beads to strangle their opponent unconscious, buying a chance to escape death, though the beads themselves may snap and be lost in the struggle.
