Pearls of Wisdom
Pearls
of Wisdom are a common treasure found in the watery realms. They are simply the
coalescence of elemental water magics. The shells are valueless but the blue
pearls within are magical. They grant a bit of wisdom equal about to a first
level spell. They are thought based so if a possessor of a pearl to answer
questions like if a fruit is toxic or safe to eat or if box is trapped or not,
or what information is in a rune. Pearls can also be used to send and receive
thoughts like the Thought Transfer spell.
Pearls abilities can be compounded up to second level magics, so 2 pearls could
evoke a Know Glyph or a Limited Retrocognition spell. Unfortunately, water
magics are highly changeable so Pearls of Wisdom remain for only a week at most
before changing into something else. One who tries to hoard Pearls of Wisdom
will usually find himself with nothing but a pile of damp, worthless shells.
