Vision Stone (Wizard Spell)

This spell enables the caster to enclose a tele­pathic message in a gem or other object. The caster is able to set the conditions under which the message will be revealed. These conditions may be as generic or as specific as the caster de­sires, following the criteria for the magic mouth spell. When a designated creature holds the object, it glows and pulses, and the message is delivered mentally to the creature. The message remains in the object until the conditions for de­livery are met.
The spell enables the caster to place a 50-word message or a one-minute vision into the desig­nated object. When the conditions of the delivery of the message are met, the message is delivered mentally to the recipient-no one else can hear the message. The vision stone cannot deliver magical spells or activate devices with command words.
The caster can create one vision stone per level of spell ability, as long as all objects are imbued with the same message and the same criteria for delivery of the message. Thus, a 10th-level caster can imbue ten objects with the same message with only one spell. If the 10th-level mage desires to imbue ten objects with ten different messages, ten spells are required. The object on which the vision stone spell is placed disintegrates immediately after the message is delivered.
Wizards below 15th level of ability can en­chant only gems and objects worth 100 gp or more. Wizards of 15th level and above can en­chant gemstones of any value and fabricated items of any value. Thus, a 15th-level mage could not enchant a broken tree branch, but he could a small wreath woven out of tree branches.
The material components are the item to be enchanted, and an eyelash and a tooth from any creature.
Notes: Uncommon for diviners and artificers; otherwise, rare.
