The Thayan Circlet is dropped by Vicross in the Thayan Estate as a part of Neera's Destroying the Order of Eight Staves quest.
Description[]
| “ | Red Wizards of Thay consider wild magic dangerous. Its practice is prohibited among their members; no wild mage is allowed within their ranks.
An ambitious young wild mage named Vicross's fear of discovery and desire to master her capricious magic were so great that she managed to conceal her status and rise through the Red Wizard hierarchy. She became an autharch for Aznar Thrul, the tharchion of Priador. In this position, she created the Order of Eight Staves, designed to study wild magic. For years, Vicross and her underlings hunted and captured wild mages across Faerûn, performing a variety of tests on their prisoners, collecting and analyzing results. Eventually Vicross concocted techniques capable of partially controlling wild surges. She was able to enchant this circlet to reduce wild surge probability—and to minimize negative results. Fearful of her ever suspicious fellow Red Wizards, she wore it at all times, to keep her wild magic from betraying her. |

Gameplay[]
The circlet gives a +15 wild surge bonus to the Wild Mage wearing it, and it stacks with bonuses from other sources. For a level 31 Wild Mage using Improved Chaos Shield, equipping this circlet amounts to cutting by more than one third the remaining surges that do not cast the desired spell — 13 out of 36. The figure is about a quarter at level 25. This item is the only way to remove the risky Held #61 from the realm of possible surges.
