Ceremonial Mask

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This smiling silver mask is lined on its back side with stained, purple velvet. It is typically donned by a cult’s leader, allowing it the ability to communicate with the dark powers they worship.

While wearing this mask, you gain two additional spell slots of 1st level. In addition, you can cast the spells commune and true seeing once per day each, recharging at dawn, without expending a spell slot and requiring no material components.

This item is associated with a deity or power of death and decay. When you cast commune using the mask, your questions are answered by this deity/power, regardless of the deity you may normally worship.

Cursed. This mask is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. Until the curse is broken with remove curse or similar magic, you are unwilling to part with the mask, keeping it within reach at all times. When you attune to this item, the silver tentacles reshape and tighten around your neck. Each time you cast a spell, you take 1d4 psychic damage. Removing the curse ends your attunement to the item, causes the tentacles to unfasten, but does not remove the curse from the item.

Uncommon variant: remove the true seeing spell and reduce the number of additional 1st level spell slots to 1

Very rare variant: The additional spell slots become 2nd level instead of 1st.
