Hey there, I'm playing a game where I'm a focused specialist diviner/unseen seer. I really want to use contact other plane but I find the spell to be a bit insane in terms of the penalties so I thought I'd make a custom magic item.
I used the price of the Circlet of Persuasion and eyeballed a +1 to a skill check as 1,500 gp. The mirror doesn't really travel well and only works for CoP so it maybe should be cheaper, but at the same time, CoP is powerful if you can reliably make the checks.
Thoughts?
Oracle's Mirror
A very useful item to seers and oracles, this mirror acts as a buffer between the caster and the extraplanar forces that they routinely contact.
Description: This highly polished mirror is similar to a standard mirror that mages use for Scrying. It is embellished with powerful sigils of magic and stones representing the outer planes. When used, the mirror takes on aspects of the plane the contacted entity resides upon.
Activation: An Oracle's Mirror is activated by casting Contact Other Plane while staring deeply into the mirror.
Effect: By casting your consciousness into the mirror, you buffer your mental defenses against hostile extraplanar forces, giving you a +5 bonus to your Intelligence check to avoid having your Int and Cha dropped to 8.
Aura/Caster Level: Moderate Transmutation. CL 9
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, Fox's Cunning
Price: 7,500 gp
