Am I correct in interpreting this item?
The description says that you can use it to negate an existing stun or daze condition, but this doesn't actually work since if you're stunned or dazed you can't take an action to activate it (the IHS problem)
You can't use it to negate Celerity since you already used your immediate action to cast Celerity
If you're ambushed by say, a Sea Hag, you can't use it to negate the Evil Eye because you're flatfooted and can't take an action to activate it. But if they use it on a later round, you are protected.
Also, how important is this item? Would it be worth prioritizing over say, a Headband of Intellect for a Wizard? Yes, I know they're different slots, but with limited funds you may only be able to get one.
