Magic Item: Crystal of Comprehension

Wondrous item, uncommon

This crystalline rod is roughly six inches long and glows slightly. There are lines marking it into three sections, with smaller tick marks between them. It has been imbued with the saliva of someone who speaks a specific language (determined by the GM) and has 3 charges. As an action, you can expend one charge to gain the ability to speak, understand, read, and write the stored language as though you were a native speaker, with no accent. The effect ends after three hours or if the player moves more than ten feet from the crystal.

As the duration continues, the glow recedes down the length of the crystal. A character viewing the crystal can tell how much time is left rounded to the nearest 20 minute increment. When the effect ends, one section of the rod crumbles to sand. This happens even if it ends prematurely, although in this case there is also a bright flash as the remaining magical energy escapes.
