Wondrous Item, uncommon
Appearing as a small wooden box with sound receivers along its front and sides and a display lens on the top, it seems to be held together by magic and an unnecessary number of wood screws. The lens seems to fit loosely into its setting, apparently intentional. A switch on the back toggles the device’s operation. When shaken, the device produces an inordinate amount of rattling for its size. This device allows you, while holding it, to forgo mental visualization by producing sights, sounds, smells, and other sensations through its display lens. While active, the device understands descriptions that you hear spoken in a language you can understand and magically manifests them so that you can experience what is being expressed by the other party. The device functions by hearing the input, not telepathically, so its interpretations are literal and don’t take idioms into consideration. While active, the device is not discreet. Any attempts at hiding or stealth while the device is active are hindered by its occasional displays as it misinterprets ambient conversations as descriptions. Similarly, due to its construction, improperly securing and housing the device can cause it to make a ruckus when you run with it on your person, reducing or eliminating the possibility of stealth.
