Magic Item - Random Wondrous Item

Kiira

These smooth hemispherical precious stones are known by their elven name, which means "lore gem." While more powerful versions of these items known as greater kiira exist, those date to the empire of Cormanthor, can only he used by elves of particular families and risk causing madness and feeblemindedness in those not of the proper bloodline and without the necessary intelligence. The kiira that can he found in the world are weaker but safer versions of these devices.
The kiira is worn on the forehead (it affixes itself if placed there and can be removed easily by its wearer) and counts as a hat for the purpose of determining what items can be worn together. It allows its wearer to better focus her mind and memory, allowing her to better remember information. In game terms, this results in a +2 competence bonus on all Knowledge skill checks, though the wearer must spend a full round of contemplation to gain this bonus.
Furthermore, a kiira acts as a spell-book, allowing a wizard (or any other spellcaster who requires a spell-book) to record spells into and prepare spells from a kiira as if it were a spell-book (holding up to thirty spells of any levels), requiring the normal amount of time and expense. While a newly created kiira is empty of spells, a kiira recovered as part of a treasure hoard is likely to have spells recorded within it at the DM's option. If so, the value of the item should increase as if it were a spell-book.
