As an action, you may take a thought strand (see the Encode Thoughts spell) and catalogue it into your Thought Journal by speaking a command word of your choice. The thought strand then dissolves and enters an extra-dimensional space, entering a state of suspended animation. Any subsequent thought strands you put into the extra-dimensional space has its contents added to the original thought strand. As a ritual, you may speak the command word and have the Thought Journal appear in an unoccupied space within 5 Feet if you. It is a Tiny, weightless object that is able to be picked up or carried. Using the encode thoughts or detect thoughts spell allows you to read the Thought Journal.
Anyone who knows the command word may access your personal Thought Journal. It is therefore imperative that your command word remain a secret. If someone else has your thought journal on hand, when you cast Thought Journal, it has no effect, thereby informing you that your Thought Journal has been compromised. Anyone with your thought journal would still need the encode thoughts or detects thoughts spell to read it.
