magic item: Chair of the dead.

 inspired by dungeon23 I wanted to try to regularly make items. maybe they won't all be magical though. 

I'm starting with randomly generating them but I imagine I'll do weapons, armor, etc too. 

I got chair. 

I could go the route of a throne. but I won't. 

Chair of the dead. 

This 4 legged wood carved chair is dark green with skulls intricately craved all over it except on the seat. When a mage sits on it they can channel a spirit to talk through them.

Alternatively you could put a dead body on it and they can speak. 

Ok I like it. one down. 

Even before rolling a chair and coming up with this idea I had the though of wanting to do a notebook and I had the image of a skull also. I was thinking deathnote and also harry potter with tom's diary, and other stories where you could write something down and someone had the other magic notebook they could read what you wrote and write back to you. texting in fantasy. 

could also be like the chair where you write in the notebook and the spirit of a dead person "wrote" back for you to read. 

I'm going a different route though. 

apothecaria's notebook

Write down the potion you want to make or what you want a potion to do and the notebook will "write" back the ingredients needed and how to make it.
