<heads up: body horror ahead
three sandstone blocks that, when stacked precisley [1 Turn], create an optical illusion of three large eyes, the stones emit sickly, hazy light with a violet tinge.
each stone weighs 20lbs.
individually the stones emit pale light like a candle, this light attracts ghosts and allows one to read magic.
each stone has a spell carves into it:
top stone: ventriloquism
middle stone: hold portal
bottom stone: darkness
if cursed, the light calls monsters [double encounter chance]
when stacked and aligned the light deepens and expands gloriously [bright as a torch, lights a 30'x30' room]. it reveals magic and distorts perspective, ask a question in its light and a million voices answer, some are curses, sit, concentrate, choose one [3 Turns] and suffer the consequences.
if cursed, there is no right answer.
[roll 1d100, on 100: ask a question and answer it]
your answer becomes reality
[on odds: cursed]
(1d8 or curse worsens):
[1.disintigrate into wet glitter, you must contain every piece of you or you will die in 3 days.
(you can survive anywhere glitter can, and you can spread yourself up to 20'×20', you have 3 strength. you move 30' per round and weigh nothing)
[2. become a tasty fly,
(hp 1, speed fly 120', walk 20', ac 3, lizards lizards chase you to the ends of the earth. you can talk but its a tiny fly voice.)
[3. there is something in your hand. a witch favors you, she will need a favor soon.
[4. animals are hostile towards you, except rats, they are drawn to you, cockroaches and centipedes are unaffected
[5. gain another head, it controls your body at night, it is your opposite, it must eat freshly killed meat nightly, enough to fill your belly or die. you are always bloated and constipated.
[6. your blood becomes oil and you have terrible acid reflux
(fire damage is tripled, a flask is 1hp, you contain 8 flasks worth, it is your lifeblood)
[7. constantly opening sores produce poisonous larva which quickly become swarms of biting moths.
(save or die if eaten, larva pupate in flesh, swarms of moths gain 1hp every week, hp/4 hd)
[8. wood you touch burns like flashpaper, its ashes swirl upwards or outwards to spread over the world but can be caught] darkness near the stones is a writhing, grasping thing, like worms fleeing concrete.
