Created by the eccentric Wizardess Bard Speeling, the Painting Kit of Prediction is a Painting kit that, when a brush is dipped into the matching paint pot and set on a surface with its key phrase is stated, will cause the brush and magically and instantly capture a painting made to show a real location you currently see on the surface provided, however the image shows exactly 24 hours in the future from the current time as long as things continue down the current path. The painting alters its appearance on the hour. Unless spells are cast to alter the weather, it's mostly used as a way to show the weather, but can and will show other events coming up in the following day.
Paintings made using the Painting Kit of Prediction will continue to show the location that was originally painted until it is destroyed.
The Painting Kit of Prediction can paint up to 4 paintings per day, and regains 1d4 charges after a long rest.

Posted May 12, 2020Imagine a city where every major public place has one of these paintings in an official building, where anyone can see it. It's mostly just used for weather prediction and it's fairly accurate (And if spells are cast to prevent something it'll alter the outcome in the next hours image) So it's sort of like druid craft in the weather prediction abilities, but for the common masses. It may, occasionally, cause a bit of amusement if there's someone who has a habit of trying to be in the picture's location every hour or be used to prevent minor mishaps such as being in a location that shows you pushed over into the mud.
BUT one day there's enemy soldiers in the streets of the image, you realize you're about to be attacked and have only 24 hours to prepare or escape. This item will allow DM's to set up a world like this, and give players a way to set up their own versions should they get their hands on such an item.
