Illuminated Ingress

Weapon (spear or pike), very rare (requires attunement)

—-------------------

The spear known as The Illuminated Ingress is a "key" bestowed upon select Archivists and esteemed members of the Grand Library by the Lore Mistress. This spear holds the unique ability to open a small spectral gate, allowing its wielder to temporarily summon a tome from a designated section of the Enlightened Hall. These tomes contain powerful divine magic, capable of manifesting the essence of the knowledge or stories they hold. Such manifestations can take the form of blessings upon the wielder or magical phenomena that affect the surrounding area.

Typically, members of the Grand Library are only permitted to carry this spear outside the Sanctuary grounds or Grand Library facilities during official missions. Each key grants access to a specific section of the Hall, though some keys provide entry to multiple sections. However, those unfamiliar with the contents of their assigned section may find it difficult to control which tome is summoned when they open the gate.

—-------------------

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic spear. While attuned to the Spear-Key, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Arcana, Nature, or Religion. Additionally, when you make an ability check recall information, you can add a d6 to the roll.

Spells. The Spear-Key has 4 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge to cast the legend lore or commune spell, requiring no material components. The Spear-Key regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.

Borrowed Wisdom. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 charge to summon a book from the Enlightened Hall. The book appears in your hand and grants a powerful effect based on its story, manifesting around you. The book you summon is random; roll a d8 to determine which book appears. The effects last for 1 minute or until you dismiss them (no action required). You can only have one borrowed wisdom effect active at a time. Once a specific book has been summoned, it can't be summoned again until the next dawn.

----------------------------------

I'm sorry this one took so long. I had to take care of some personal problems these past couple of days. Although, I think I went too far and end up making 4 different sections with 8 tome options for this item >____<

PS : After this (or the 15th Spear, If I can still manage to finish it in time), I'll take a bit of a break until the end of this week. But don't worry, I'll continue again next Monday.
