Unicorn Horn
Unicorns grow three horns and shed them much like baby teeth. The key to Wyrmroost was a first horn shed by a unicorn. Seth stole the only known one from the centaurs at Fablehaven. It turned out to be Bracken's. Its magical properties include purifying all that it touches, such as purging poison and curing infections. All unicorn horns emanate extreme guilt that render a thief incapable of stealing the horn. The final artifact at the Living Mirage preserve, the Font of Immortality, was crafted out of Bracken's third horn. Unicorn horns are what give unicorns most of their power. In the fifth book, Bracken only had minimal magical abilities without his horns.
