[Rulers of the Sands] Tablet of Myriad Glyphs (Patreon)

Tablet of Myriad Glyphs

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

Component: Elemental (earth elemental) bone

“When I was young, we’d use a dictionary when learning’ new languages! Kids these days and their tablets…”

• Hiro Gliff, resident curmudgeon of Kasbat Azzaman

Arcanolinguistic Revelation. When you attune to this magic item, some of the hieroglyphs on its surface become intelligible to you. Roll a d8 twice, rerolling any duplicates, and consult the table below to determine which languages you learn. While attuned to the tablet, you can speak, understand, and write the respective languages, and can cast the spells associated with them (save DC 16). Once this item has been used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. Each day at dawn, you can choose to roll the d8 twice again, replacing the languages learned from this item with new ones. 

• d8 | Language | Spell

• 1 | Abyssal | insect plague

• 2 | Celestial | mass cure wounds

• 3 | Deep Speech | black tentacles

• 4 | Draconic | cone of cold

• 5 | Infernal | wall of fire

• 6 | Primordial | conjure elemental

• 7 | Sylvan | confusion

• 8 | Undercommon | seeming

Animated Glyphs. As an action while holding the tablet, you can cast the animate objects spell, targeting ten of the hieroglyphs on the tablet. The glyphs count as Tiny objects for the purposes of the spell and their attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. When an animated glyph dies or the spell ends, the glyph returns to the tablet. Once this property of the item has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant. Reduce the DC to 15. Remove Animated Glyphs property.
