[Monster Hunting - Broodmother] Tome of Living Memories - rare (Patreon)

Wondrous item, rare (optional attunement by a wizard)

The pages of this book are littered with the shifting memories of all the aboleth broodmother’s eyes have seen. This deluge of information includes historical occurrences, the gods, and all things arcane, in addition to several spells. Unfortunately, the script is a shifting mire of letters that only the most astute can decipher.

Knowledge from Beyond. Over the course of a minute, you can attempt to discern information from the broodmother’s memories. Make a DC 10 Intelligence check. On a success, you gain proficiency in Arcana, History, Nature, and Religion for the next 10 minutes. On a failure, you take psychic damage equal to your level.

Shrouded Spells. In a similar manner, you can spend 10 minutes attempting to cast one of the following spells, requiring no material components and without expending a spell slot. At the end of the 10 minutes, make an Intelligence check. The DC equals 8 plus the spell’s level. On a success, you cast the spell. On a failure, you don’t cast the spell and you take psychic damage equal to twice the spell’s level.
