Activate 1 Interact
Frequency once per day
Requirements You are attempting to read something in a language you don't understand
Effect You flick a small toggle on the side of the spectacles, flipping the lenses over in the frames. You can understand the meaning of the language you are reading. This doesn't let you understand codes, riddles, or metaphors (subject to the GM's discretion). This effect lasts 1 hour.
Trait Effects
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
