Valence radii-accentuator

The valence radii-accentuator is a piece of headwear in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Background
Focusing on unlocking the potential lying in lightwave dynamics, researchers in the Z-38 lightwave dynamics research facility managed to harness light to create computer-controlled holograms capable of acting as shopkeepers, guides and mobile cameras. The project also yielded more outlandish results, such as the valence radii-accentuator and the atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator, holographic halos capable of boosting the body's metabolism, increasing its regeneration rate and endurance.

Characteristics
The accentuator is a blue, rotating halo that floats around the head of the wearer. It causes the character to appear bald, but it's a purely cosmetic effect. It also adds +1 to Endurance and regenerates 12 HP every in-game hour.

It uses the glasses slot and can be worn with some headgear:

Variants

 * Atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator, a variant with three halos for twice the healing effect.

Locations

 * Z-38 Lightwave Dynamics Research
 * Y-17 medical facility: Doctor Orderly MD PHD DDS
 * X-8 research center: Gabe
 * Construction site: At the top of the crane
 * Signal hills transmitter: Nearby on the top of a mountain, worn by a skeleton. It's near the Dionaea Muscipula.
 * Forbidden Zone Dome entrance: X-42 giant robo-scorpion

Behind the scenes

 * Accentuators are circuits/networks which are designed to reduce the losses or gains in frequencies in the audio spectrum, as a preemphasis spectrum.
 * The design of the accentuator mimics the electron orbital of elements in group IIa of the periodic table.

Bugs

 * Equipping the accentuator while the player character has the rebreather equipped will remove the item, but the water breathing effect will remain.
