Trumpet of Spirit Speaking

Price 6,500; Slot none; CL 6th; Weight 1 lb.; Aura moderate necromancy

DESCRIPTION

This long, segmented cone is made of a lightweight metal and collapses into three sections.

Although non-magical spirit trumpets are most often used by fraudulent mediums and manipulated with sleight of hand and ventriloquism, a trumpet of spirit speaking allows actual communication with the spirits of the deceased. Once per day, when its mouthpiece is placed to the lips of a mostly intact corpse, the user can ask up to three questions of the dead creature, as if the corpse were subject to a speak with dead spell.

The corpse’s replies to the questions issue forth from the horn in quiet, ghostly whispers.
