Aurum’s Avarice

This golden flute feels warm to the touch, with tiny coins and gemstones etched along its surface. When played, its notes carry a subtle, tempting resonance, as if promising hidden riches to those who listen.

Magical Instrument. The flute subtly guides your fingers to the correct positions. Anyone can play it, even without musical training.

Eye for Gold. You automatically know whether any coins or gems you can see are real or fake. Additionally, you have advantage on Investigation checks made to find hidden valuables, secret compartments, or concealed treasure.

Spellcasting. The flute has 3 charges and regains 1d2 expended charges daily at dawn. While holding the flute, you can use an action to play it and expend charges to cast one of the following spells (spell save DC 14). The spells require no components other than playing the flute.

• Detect Magic (1 charge)
• Charm Person (1 charge)
• Locate Object (2 charges)

Dormant Melody. A final, more complex sequence of notes is etched faintly into the flute, but attempting to play it produces only hollow sound. When you reach level 6, you gain the following additional option:

• Incite Greed (3 charges)
