Aeon Stone (Gold Nodule)
A gold-flecked orbiting stone bestows fluency in one chosen tongue, and its resonant power can translate unfamiliar speech on demand.
Over millennia, these mysterious, intricately cut gemstones have been hoarded by mystics and fanatics hoping to discover their secrets. Despite their myriad forms and functions, these stones are purportedly all fragments of crystal tools used by otherworldly entities to construct the universe in primeval times.
When you invest one of these precisely shaped crystals, the stone orbits your head instead of being worn on your body. You can stow an aeon stone with an Interact action, and an orbiting stone can be snatched out of the air with a successful Disarm action against you. A stowed or removed stone remains invested, but its effects are suppressed until you return it to orbit your head again.
There are various types of aeon stones, each with a different shape, color, and magical effect. Each aeon stone also gains a resonant power when slotted into a special magical item called a Wayfinder.
When a gold nodule aeon stone is created, its creator chooses a language they know to store within the crystal. When you invest the stone, you gain the ability to understand, speak, and write that language.
The resonant power allows you to cast comprehend language as an occult innate spell once per day.
