This brass disc of articulated, concentric rings unfolds into an armillary sphere. As a bonus action, you can unfold it into the sphere or back into a disc. When found, it contains the following spells, which are wizard spells for you while you are attuned to it: augury, divination, find the path, foresight, locate creature, and locate object. It functions as a spellbook for you, with spells encoded on the rings.
While you are holding the archive, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.
The archive has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use the charges in the following ways while holding it:
- If you spend 1 minute studying the archive, you can expend 1 charge to replace one of your prepared wizard spells with a different spell in the archive. The new spell must be of the divination school.
- When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge and force the creature to roll a d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the original roll. You can do this after you see the roll but before its effects are applied.

A creature of any class that is not attuned to the disk can attempt to cast one of the spells on the archive. Doing so takes 10 minutes, as the creature studies and aligns the archive’s rings. At the end of this time, the creature must make an Intelligence check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the spell is cast at its lowest level. The spell’s magic is then expended from the archive and cannot be cast again by a non-wizard until a wizard restores it. On a failure, the spell does not take effect. The creature takes 1d6 psychic damage per level of the spell, and it suffers a mental block regarding that spell. While affected by this block, the creature cannot attempt to cast that spell from the archive again until the next dawn. The spell’s magic is not expended from the archive.
-
A wizard attuned to the archive can restore an expended spell by spending 1 hour studying the archive and expending a spell slot of equal or higher level than the spell. When restored in this way, the spell returns to the archive and can be cast again.
