Unnameable's Tome Dormant
When the Unnameable's Tome is in its dormant state, you gain the following benefits:
  • You gain a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your wizard spells.
  • You can use this wondrous item as both a spellcasting focus and as a spellbook.
  • Telepathic Link. As an action, you can form a telepathic connection between yourself and a creature within 30 feet of you. You and the chosen creature can speak telepathically with one another while you are within 1 mile of each other. This telepathic connection lasts for 10-minutes, until you are incapacitated or die, or form a telepathic link with a different creature. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 4 or less aren't affected by telepathic link.
  • Unnameable's Tome Awakened
    When the Unnameable's Tome reaches an awakened state, you gain the following benefits:
  • The bonus to spell attack rolls and saving throw DCs increases to +2.
  • You gain resistance to psychic damage.
  • Otherworldly Appendage. You can modify your spells to warp into a tentacle that extends from the pages of the Unnameable's Tome. When you hit a creature with a ranged spell attack, you can push the creature up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line. If the spell targets more than one creature, choose one creature to push with otherworldly appendage.
  • Unnameable's Tome Exalted
    When the Unnameable's Tome reaches an exalted state, you gain the following benefits:
  • The bonus to spell attack rolls and saving throw DCs increases to +3.
  • The distance you push creatures with your Otherworldly Appendage increases to 20 feet.
  • Voices Beyond. As an action, you emit a horrifying screech in a 60 foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 17 Intelligence saving throw or take 4d8 psychic damage and become stunned for 1-minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on themselves on a success.
