The end of this long silken cord is tied with five different knots.

A dispelling cord is worn wrapped loosely around your chest, its two ends slung over your shoulder. When you activate a dispelling cord, you gain a +2 competence bonus on any dispel checks you make until the end of your turn.
A dispelling cord functions five times per day. Each time it is activated, one of the five knots magically unties itself, indicating the uses remaining for the day.

Lore: The first dispelling cords were created by an ancient king who wanted to prevent his enemies from having magical dominion over his army. To ensure magical supremacy, the king ordered his mages into battle armed with dispelling cords (Knowledge [history] DC 15).
