This aged magic journal is filled with blank pages. Any attempt to write upon the pages fails, the text erasing itself within mere moments.

While holding the journal, you can use an action to write a creature's name on the front of the journal, which quickly disappears. If the target is incapacitated and within 5 feet of you, you instantly cast the new sift memory spell (spell save DC 20), using the journal as the material component. The journal can't be used in this way again until the next dawn.

Curse. This journal is cursed. The identify spell erroneously reveals the journal to be a Mindthief's Journal. If the same spellcaster casts identify on the journal again, its true nature is revealed. Because of the curse, when the journal is used to cast sift memory, instead of the spell's normal effects, the spell describes a series of fake memories and false information. It never shares any true memories or real information gathered from the target. Often, the information it shares is dangerously wrong. Despite this, the journal never gives any indication that it is anything less than utterly honest and straightforward: the fake memories are generally believable, and the journal tries not to reveal its true nature if possible.
