The Petrified Eye

wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement)

"'The greatest weapon available to man is Truth.' 'Then what are you?' 'The deliverer of that weapon.'"

The dark indented rock telepathically provides the answer to any question from an attuned user. When used for the first time in a day, the user must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or take 1 level of Obsession. Any subsequent questions in that day deals 3d6 necrotic damage to the user and adds one level of Obsession.

Excretes a red liquid into the indent when visible to the attuned user, can still be asked verbal questions when it is in visible range.

Petrified Eye Obsession Level Effects 1st User won't let the Eye out of direct possession. 2nd User speaks to the Eye when no one is watching. 3rd User must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or ask the same question again, unaware it had gotten an answer 4th User becomes mildly hostile to anyone looking or asking about the rock 5th User curls into a fetal position around the rock. Every minute in this position the user must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or ask a random question 6th Death.

Losing Obsession Levels One Obsession level is dismissed every two days of not asking a question.
