Malla's Soul Stone

Malla's Soul Stone is a sort of ioun stone which can be equipped in the headslot. It raises the dexterity and constitution of the wearer by one point and it can be used once per day to cast the spell Neutralise Poison once per day. This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.

It can be gained during the side quest in which you must save Marlowe's daughter soul, Malla, which is in the possession of the lich in Amkethran. Because her soul powers the sapphire, characters of whose alignments are good can't wear it.

In the quest, Marlowe has to fulfill his part of the bargain struck with the lich. After this is done, the lich will give it you and then you are free to decide whether to keep the stone or to complete the quest.
