The Circlet in Final Fantasy VII

The Circlet (サークレット Sākuretto) is a recurring piece of equipment in the Final Fantasy series. It is most often a helmet, and gives a variety of stat boosts, mostly to magic and magic defense. In this sense, it could be considered a counterpart to the Twist Headband.
