The Skull of the Oracle
gemstone, artifact (requires attunement)
This ancient artifact is a human skull encased in a crystal sphere. The skull belonged to a powerful seer who transcended death and became a near omnipotent being. The skull knows the past, present and future of all things, and can share some of its knowledge with those who attune to it. However, the skull is slow to trust strangers, and having existed for eons, it will likely disregard new users as just another insignificant temporary mortal.

The skull can speak, read, and understand all languages. It can communicate telepathically with any creature within 120 feet of it that can understand a language.The skull is wise, but also arrogant and aloof. It may offer you advice, warnings or secrets, but it may also mock you, test you or manipulate you. The skull has its own agenda and goals, which may or may not align with yours. It is indifferent and disdainful of you when you first attune to it. You are just another mortal that’s temporarily holding it until it moves on. It has no stock in you.
