Words of Wisdom. While holding this item, you can insert 1 gp into it in order to cast the augury spell. Its omens come in the form of small slips of paper containing cryptic and nonsensical predictions or advice, but the meaning of the omen is always clear to you. In addition, you gain the benefit described below based on the spell’s result. Once this property of the item has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
- Weal. Good fortune awaits you. Once in the next hour, whenever you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the result.
- Woe. Bad luck follows you, but you can use it to your advantage. Once in the next hour, whenever a creature you can see makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from the result.
- Weal and Woe. Your future is a mix, and you can draw power from either outcome. You gain the benefits of both the Weal and Woe results.
- Nothing. Perhaps the question you asked wasn’t the best. You can immediately cast the augury spell again, and can’t gain the benefits of this option for this casting of the spell.
