*The ribbon device is an ornate device worn on the hand by most of the Goa'uld encountered by SG teams. It disperses a wave of energy with assorted effects. The ribbon device has demonstrated the ability to physically knock people or objects away with tremendous amounts of force, or simply send searing pain through the skulls of the victim when used at close range. In order for the ribbon device to work the wearer must have Naquadah in their bloodstream, a common side effect of being a host. *Source: Back of card
