Item: Exploration Lens (Searching)
Activate 1 Interact
An exploration lens is a magical glass lens designed for a Bull's Eye Lantern. When light from the lantern passes through the lens, it alters the light to make it easier to perform a common exploration activity with the lantern.
Alternatively, an exploration lens can be installed in a Wayfinder like an aeon stone. In this case, light (such as that from a Lantern (Hooded), Torch, or Light spell) must still pass through the lens and you must hold the wayfinder in your hand for it to function.
There are several different types of exploration lens, each granting benefits with a different type of exploration activity. Each type of lens is distinguishable from all the other types by holding it up to a bright light.
Type: Searching
This lens has an opalescent sheen when held up to light.
The lens subtly outlines hidden doors and concealed hazards, granting you a +2 item bonus to Perception checks to spot such features while Searching.
Even if you aren't Searching, you get a check to find traps that normally require you to Search.
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.
