This strange box has six different sides covered in runes that constantly shift and change, glowing different colors seemingly at random.
You can use the Puzzle box as an action by making a DC 30 Intelligence (Arcana) check. The DC is lowered by a number equal to your base intelligence stat. (Example: You are a character with 16 Intelligence. The DC is lowered by 16, making it a DC 14 Intelligence (Arcana) check to successfully use the Puzzle Box.)
On a failure, you are unable to understand the patterns within the object and your action is wasted.
On a success, you are able to determine that there are 6 different color patterns that the Puzzle Box has the capability of forming into. You may choose any of the color patterns, and the Puzzle Box will have a different spell that is cast depending on the chosen color. The Puzzle Box has 10 charges, each color requires a different amount of charges to use (listed below) and the Puzzle Box regains 1D10 charges daily at dawn.
Royal Blue (3 charges) - This pattern is a deep blue like the surface of the ocean, moving and swirling like crashing waves. If this pattern is chosen, you cast Wall of Water without requiring concentration that lasts for the duration.
Pale Brown (3 charges) - This pattern is similar to a beach or desert, and the pattern swirls slightly like a mild dust storm. If this pattern is chosen, you cast Wall of Sand without requiring concentration that lasts for the duration.
Scarlet Red (4 charges) - This pattern is like an inferno raging in a forest or town, swirling with orange and red sparks. If this pattern is chosen, you cast Wall of Fire without requiring concentration that lasts for the duration
Achromatic (5 charges) This pattern is the pure absence of color, not dark or light but almost see-through and seems to reflect the images around it. If this pattern is chosen, you cast Wall of Force without requiring concentration that lasts for the duration.
Pewter Gray (5 charges) This pattern is a hard, unyielding gray tinged with a lighter steel gray that does not change or swirl like the other patterns. If this pattern is chosen, you cast Wall of Stone without requiring concentration that lasts for the duration
Celeste Blue (6 charges) This pattern seems to reflect the world around it like an imperfect, distorted mirror, while emitting a cold mist that chills your bones. If this pattern is chosen, you cast Wall of Ice without requiring concentration that lasts for the duration.
You can only have one Pattern active at a time. If you choose to activate the Puzzle Box again before the previous wall has lasted the full duration, the first wall will fade and the second wall will be made.
Notes: by a character with at least 14 Intelligence
