Item: Singing Stone
A singing stone looks like a drinking cup made of polished rock, and it always faintly hums or keens. Anyone who carries the cup for some time senses that it changes its tune depending on the types of rock nearby and that it grows quiet in areas with little stone. A singing stone is a planar key for Interplanar Teleport and similar magic. When it's used this way, you're more likely to arrive where you intend to be, appearing 1d6×25 miles from your intended destination instead of 1d10×25 miles away.
Activate—Stone's Speech 1 minute (manipulate)
Frequency once per day
Effect The singing stone casts speak with stones, allowing you to speak and listen through the bowl to communicate with stones. You can use the spell normally, or, as you activate the singing stone, you can target one stone you can clearly identify in appearance and location. This target must be on the same plane as you or on the Plane of Earth. You can't change targets during a single activation.
Activate—Stone's Sight 1 (manipulate, revelation)
Frequency once per day
Effect Placing the singing stone against a rocky surface, you cause it to reverberate, revealing what's behind or beneath the surface. You get a mental image of this area that's 15 feet deep and 5 feet in diameter. The image doesn't convey color, but it's clear to you what objects or creatures within are moving and which are stationary. The image is instant, however, and therefore doesn't allow you to track movement over time.
Trait Effects
Earth: Effects with the earth trait either manipulate or conjure earth. Those that manipulate earth have no effect in an area without earth. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of earth or have a connection to magical earth. These planes are mostly solid. Travelers arriving upon an earth plane risk suffocation if they don’t reach a cavern or some other air pocket within the plane’s solid matter. Creatures who can’t burrow are entombed in the plane’s substance and must attempt to dig their way toward an air pocket. Air creatures are ill at ease, as they rarely have the space to move freely through even the loftiest warrens.
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.
