Wield to gain the following Ability:
Time: Action Target: A Flavor target
Effect: Knowledge
Choose one of the permanent Flavors on this Pendulum as your Subject. The Pendulum will begin to move as described by the Flavor chosen, drawn to or repelled by the Subject(s). The effect will be stronger the closer the Subject is, but cannot tell exact distances. If there is nothing matching the Flavor in the current Location, then the Pendulum will hang at rest. If a Subject is directly over or below you, the Pendulum will instead drift in a circle.
Pendulums also fulfill the Requirements of the Augury Spell.
