  Starweaver's Touch is a spell of cosmic alchemy, a transmutation that channels the ancient art of celestial smiths. When cast, the caster's fingertips become imbued with the essence of distant stars and the enigmatic forces that bind the heavens. This spell allows the caster to transform a mundane object into an intricate, interstellar puzzle, echoing the complexity and beauty of the cosmos.
  Upon touching an object no larger than a cube of 3 feet, the caster weaves the magic of the stars into its very essence. The object begins to transform, its form shifting and reconfiguring into a myriad of smaller components that interlock in a mesmerizing dance. The item becomes a complex, three-dimensional puzzle, its pieces moving in harmony with an elegance that mirrors the celestial orbits.
  The spell's magic does not alter the object's composition or function but reshapes its form into an enigmatic conundrum. The puzzle's design is unique to each casting, inspired by the caster's subconscious understanding of the cosmos. It might resemble a miniature galaxy, a constellation, or an abstract representation of celestial phenomena.
  To solve the puzzle, a creature must spend an Intelligence (Investigation) check. The DC of this check is set by the caster's spell save DC. Successfully solving the puzzle requires a keen mind and a deep understanding of the object's new, intricate nature. Upon solving the puzzle, the object returns to its original form, the magic of the spell leaving no trace on its structure. A person who successfully solves the puzzle gains a bonus to their Intelligence Ability Score equal to +1 for the remaining duration of the spell.
  However, should the puzzle remain unsolved as the spell's duration ends, the object reverts to its original form, the magic dissipating like stardust in the void.
  Starweaver's Touch is a spell that fascinates those who seek knowledge and understanding, particularly scholars, inventors, and arcanists who appreciate the elegance of the universe's mysteries. It is a testament to the idea that even the simplest objects can reflect the grandeur of the cosmos, a reminder that everything is connected in the intricate tapestry of existence.

  Starweaver's Touch is not merely a spell; it is an invitation to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos, to engage with the universe in a tangible, intimate manner. It is a bridge between the mundane and the magnificent, a celebration of the complex beauty that dwells within the stars and within ourselves.
