This basin is about 2 ft diameter, and 1 ft tall, weights 40 lbs, and is made of thick shiny material. The sides of the basin slope in and are covered in ancient runes, which glow a deep purple when the basin is being used. This basin has 4 charges.
As an action, you may expend 1 charge to cast Augury, 3 charges to cast Scrying (spell save DC: 17), or 4 charges to cast Divination. The basin regains 1d4 charges daily at dawn. If the last charge of the basin is expended, roll a d20. On a 1, the basin cracks and it's magical properties are lost.
The basin's magical properties can be used in rituals to preform various magics in divination rituals. If a person spends 48 hours and 500 gp over the period of 7 days studying the bowl and experimenting with it's magic, roll an arcana check, on an 18 or higher, the person gains the knowledge of one additional magical property of the basin. For each week the person has spent following the instructions above, and rolling a 12 or higher, the person gains a +1 to their arcana roll in the future to determine magical properties of the basin. The additional magical properties are secret and known by the DM.
If a person unintentionally does steps that would lead to the activation of the basin's additional properties, the basin still activates and acts as if the ritual had been preformed intentionally.
Notes: Scrying, divination
