Wondrous Item, Major, Rare (Requires Attunement)
An Ioun stone is named after Ioun, a god of knowledge and prophecy revered on some worlds. Many types of Ioun stone exist, each type a distinct combination of shape and color.
When you use an action to toss one of these stones into the air, the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet and confers a benefit to you. Thereafter, another creature must use an action to grasp or net the stone to separate it from you, either by making a successful attack roll against AC 24 or a successful DC 24 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. You can use an action to seize and stow the stone, ending its effect.
A stone has AC 24, 10 hit points, and resistance to all damage. It is considered to be an object that is being worn while it orbits your head.
This vibrant purple prism stores spells cast into it, holding them until you use them. The stone can store up to 3 levels worth of spells at a time. When found, it contains 1d4-1 levels of stored spells chosen by the DM.
Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 3rd level into the stone by touching it as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the stone. If the stone can't hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses.
While this stone orbits your head, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell. The spell cast from the stone is no longer stored in it, freeing up space.
Rather than appearing as a prism like a normal ioun stone of its type, however, this purple gem is cut like a coin, with a face on each side. One is an elf woman whose long hair has a ruby tint, and the other is an older dwarf in a helm bearing the symbol of the dwarf god Clangeddin Silverbeard. In darkness, one can see ghostly shapes trailing after the coin-like jewel as it moves. When a spell is cast into the stone, the caster hears a male and female voice arguing. When a spell is unleashed from it, the same voices are heard chanting in unison by the user. Anyone attuned to this item receives to +1 bonus on Charisma (Persuasion) checks to resolve conflict or calm emotions. Research indicates this item was known as the Peacemaker’s Coin in the old dwarf kingdom of Roldilar, where it belonged to the human mage and dwarf ally Beldossan the Short.
