This pearl allows the possessor to recall one spell.
Recall Spell. 1/day (immediate) The possessor can recall one spell that previously filled an existing spell slot and was cast leaving that spell slot empty. The action to recall is immediate but the act of casting the spell is executed normally (and requires declaration). The possessor need not touch the pearl but must be carrying it somewhere on their person. The spell must be of a particular level, depending on the pearl. Different pearls exist for recalling one spell per day of each level from 1st through 9th (although one pearl type allows the recall of two spells per day as noted).
Attunement. The pearl must be carried continuously for 48 hours before it will attune to the possessor. If the pearl is dropped, even briefly, it must re-attune.
Cursed Pearls of Power. Whenever a pearl of power is added to treasure using a method for random treasure determination, there is a 5% (d%; 01-05) chance that the pearl is cursed with a curse of forgetting. Anyone that casts mage spells that touches the pearl first (even if using gloves or implements) will become the host (no save). A cursed pearl of power grants no XP and is valued at 1,000 g.p. no matter the level of the pearl type.
Curse of Forgetting. [strong curse] Each day after spells are prepared one spell (of the level of the pearl as per above), determined randomly, will be forgotten as if cast.
