Wondrous Item, artifact (requires attunement by a chosen of Clepsydris)

When the god Clepsydris viewed time as a method of keeping track of knowledge, he created this book. The spine of the book bears the words "A Complete History."

The Book of Time contains the complete history of the universe, changing as actions in the present alter the flow of time. Only one creature is able to read the book at any given time, and even then the mental strain of doing so is immense. The creature bonded to the Book of Time may, spend time studying the book during a short or long rest (would wake up from long rest with charges) for up to 3 hours once per day. The reader takes 1d8 Psychic damage for each hour spent studying the book which cannot be reduced through any means and cannot be healed during the rest. For the next 24 hours, the reader may choose to succeed any dice roll (as long as they are able to succeed with a natural 20 dice roll), regardless of type, that they otherwise failed. They may use this feature one time for every hour they spent studying the book. After 24 hours or a long rest the reader forgets all that they have read about and will have to reread to gain more knowledge about time. The reader is only allowed upto 3 uses a day, no matter how many charges they have collected.

Alternatively, the reader may, during a long rest, use the Book of Time to commune with Clepsydris. In doing so, the reader may ask any questions about future events, but they will only answer with yes or no/true or false/etc. The reader can only ask 5 questions in the span of a week, any further questions will be met with silence.

Clepsydris will, on occasion (DM's discretion), choose to answer a question with a prophecy instead of a yes or no. These occasions usually speak of events that could cause great fluctuations in the timeline.

Notes: chosen of Clepsydris
