The Everywhere Stone

No matter where you need to be, there you are.

The Everywhere Stone is a man-sized obelisk of indeterminable age, engraved with runes and framed with gold. The Stone is worn and pitted, with moss creeping up the base. The Everywhere Stone has no power by itself, but it is a powerful artifact that aids in ritual and spellcasting that rely on location. For any spell that requires the caster to have been to somewhere, the Stone provides it for everywhere in the world.

Reach Anywhere

The Everywhere Stone allows the Caster to extend their arcane reach to any place, as if they were there. Ritual magic done through the Stone as a lens is no longer anchored by the casters' eyes or knowledge.

Be Everywhere

Rituals for Teleportation often require the Caster to have some familiarity with their destination. The Everywhere Stone provides the necessary magical connection for every location on the material plane, no matter how obscure or hidden. The Casters need only need to know that it exists and the Stone provides the rest.
The Stone also exerts some influence on the spell to ensure the Caster's safety. When used to travel into the unknown, the Stone will place the Caster somewhere that isn't immediately dangerous to the Caster.

Though the Stone allows Teleportation virtually anywhere, it does not go with the Caster - they'll have to find their own way back.

The Everywhere Stone does not draw any power from its user, though being able to use it correctly requires the Caster to study the runes. It responds to intent and when studied to learn about the place they have in mind, that is what the runes will spell out. When read without purpose or reason, the runes are of some dead language, saying nothing.
Despite its age, the runes are still intact - except for one that has deliberately scarred and its meaning obscured forever.

Plot Hook

A dangerous cult are using the Stone to teleport zealous assassins to their targets with impunity.
They will use its power against the players, targeting them with offensive spells or transporting hazards in their way.
