This strand of pale violet and pearlescent gray beads carries a dreamy shimmer and the faint scent of dried lavender and parchment. The central medallion depicts a dandelion caught in the wind, its seeds scattering into starlit night sky.
As an action, you can activate these beads to release a faint shimmer of arcane dust in a 30-foot radius centered on you. All non-hostile NPCs in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or forget the last minute of conversation they heard or participated in. Affected creatures become mildly dazed for a moment, uncertain of what was just said or why they were speaking. This has no effect on PCs, creatures engaged in combat, or those immune to being charmed. The effect is subtle—most creatures are unaware that magic was involved, attributing the lapse to distraction or forgetfulness.
Once expended, the beads retain their appearance but lose all magical properties. Though no longer enchanted, these necklaces are often kept as keepsakes, reminders of the grand parades, arcane carnivals, or festival spectacles where they were earned, caught, or awarded. A nonmagical set of expended Beads of Memory Dust is typically worth around 5 silver pieces.
