The Aether Prism looks like a hand-held telescope.
On picking up this item, the powers are immediately known to the bearer. This is an attunement item, but as a bonus action, can be auto-attuned upon the mental command of the wielder, which is represented by a flash feeling of connectedness and insight into the true nature of things. Attuning the item in this way costs the wielder reactions for the present round, due to momentary sluggishness and preoccupation with flash of emotion.
When holding the item, the wielder can cast [spell]detect magic[/spell] at will.
When peering through the item, the lens reveals the flow of magical energy in and around all things--eddys, ripples, flows dance over and through in completely mesmerizing fashion. It is hard not to be utterly transfixed on the flows revealed in this way, and, when looking from lens back to normal sight of world, to be slow blinking away the beautiful, terrifying, and other-worldly iconic memory of what the wielder just witnessed.
When peering through the item and spending a charge, Wis DC 15 save. On first fail per long rest, lose reaction for the present round. On second fail per long rest, lose reactions for the present round and on the next round, take action or move, not both. On third fail per long rest, until next long rest, lose reactions and take action or movement, not both.
The wielder can expended charges as follows.
7 Charges per long rest:
1 Charge = Cast Identify
1 Charge = Manipulate Damage Type
3 Charges = Cast See Invisibility
6 Charges = Cast True Seeing
Notes: Detection
