Spirit Slate Source Occult Adventures pg. 263 Aura faint divination; CL 5th Slot none; Price 12,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs. Description This simple chalkboard consists of a book-sized wooden frame surrounding a thin, rectangular slice of flat black slate. Though mediums typically use mundane slates to demonstrate automatic writing, this magical version can obtain answers to specific questions regarding a dead creature if the user has access to at least a fragment of bone from the deceased’s body. Once the user places a bone fragment upon the slate, that fragment animates and begins scribbling answers to the following four questions on the slate’s surface. Who were you? (The name by which the creature was most commonly known.) What were you? (The creature’s gender, race, profession/ role.) How did you die? (A brief outline of the events that caused the creature’s death, to the creature’s best knowledge.) When did you die? (To the most specific time the creature can place its death.) These answers always appear in a language the user can read, even if the creature could not speak that or any language. The device can be used up to 3 times per day.
