Babbling Book

When opening this book, it immediately begins insulting the reader, revealing their deepest insecurities and darkest secret, shaking them to their core. Anyone who opens and attempts to read the book must first make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC 20, taking 5d8 psychic damage on a failed save. In addition, anyone within10ft of the book when it is opened may listen, learning the reader's deepest insecurity and are subject to the following conditions:

Paranoid: For the next 24 hours when you perform any Charisma ability or skill checks you do so at disadvantage. In addition, anyone within range of the book gains advantage on any Charisma ability or skill checks used on the reader. However, if the reader succeeds on their saving throw, then anyone listening must make a Wisdom saving throw of DC 15. On a failed save, the words coming from the book are audible but unintelligible, and they take 3d8 psychic damage. Irrespective of whether the reader succeeds or fails the saving throw, their identity along with the secret are magically written onto the next blank page of the book.

A reader who successfully saves can read the book's contents, which contains pages of the identities (and deepest insecurities/secrets) of people who have read or attempted to read it before. Readers can only read its contents; when trying to speak the contents aloud, only inaudible and unintelligible sounds are all that can be heard.

The book nor its pages can be altered or destroyed by natural or magical means. Anyone attempting to destroy the book must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC 23 else they are affected by the spell Charm Person and become a devoted protector of the book, until the spell ends. The spell ends only when they have successfully hidden the book within the belongings of an unsuspecting person, one of which they do not know personally. Once hidden, they are immediately affected by the Modify Memory spell and forget every action they took from when the they opened the book to when they hid it.
