Wondrous item, common. Crafted from Gibbering Tongue-Cluster ×1 (Tinker).
A sealed brass box, warm at all times, that murmurs when shaken.
As an action you can open the box for 1 minute. It fills a 20-foot radius with overlapping nonsense voices. Creatures in the area cannot communicate with speech, and any creature that must hear a verbal component to identify a spell fails to do so. You are unaffected while holding the box.
Crafting. Xanathar’s rules as run in Anathema: you need the listed component, the matching artisan’s tool proficiency or proficiency in Arcana, and the time and gold from the Magic Item Crafting table — Common 1 workweek / 50 gp, Uncommon 2 / 200, Rare 10 / 2,000, Very rare 25 / 20,000, Legendary 50 / 100,000; halved for a consumable. The component’s market value is deducted from that cost. A crafter can only make items up to the rarity their proficiency bonus allows: +2 Common, +3 Uncommon, +4 Rare, +5 Very rare, +6 Legendary.
Created by Savagemouse for the Anathema campaign, using the harvesting and crafting rules of Hamund's Harvesting Handbook (Jeffrey Yang, Drifters Game Workshop; Dungeon Masters Guild, 2019).
