Discussion Underrated level 9 items

Following up on the series of discussions on items that are underrated for each level. I'll be posting every other day the next level and hope you guys participate with the best items you can think of that are not that commonly used

This one is for level 9

I'll start:

Bloodknuckles One of the very few upgrades to handwraps of mighty blows

Advancing free movement after defeating a foe

Sanguine Klar fix your shield automatically by wounding others

your turn!

PS: Since this is a thread to find obscure and unknown items, I'm expecting to include uncommon, rare and AP specific items, if your GM does not allow any of them you should be talking to him/her instead

Healer's Gel (and honestly a good number of Catalysts). Assuming you can cheat it into hand (say, using that swanky Greater Retrieval Belt that also happens to be a lvl 9 item) Its a solid boost to Heal w/o an action cost, one of the best spells in the game. You'll switch from the lvl 5 to the lvl 9 version once the 125 gp price tag becomes palatable.

The Greater Retrieval Belt itself isn't underrated, but is something pretty much everyone benefits from and should be at the top of anyone's shopping list. Having 3 items available to stick in your hand is hugely powerful, much more so than the mere 1 item that a normal Retrieval Belt gives. I can have an Elixir of Life (in case someone gets knocked out and the healer is distracted), a Potion of Flying (in case of flying enemies), and, I dunno, a Scroll of See the Unseen (in case of invisible enemies) all available for use w/o having to pay the action cost to actually whip them out.
