Sash of Comprehension

The sash allows the wearer to understand script, magical or otherwise, that they would not normally be able to read by opening up a window into that moment in time when the script was written. To utilize its magic the sash must be tied over the users eyes, blinding them utterly. They must be able to touch the item, to trace it with their fingers. As they do so a “window” opens, allowing the wielder to look back into time, enabling them to see who wrote the script, what tools they used, and their immediate environment. For a moment the caster steps into that person’s mind and reads his thoughts, and through that person’s thoughts read the script. With a successful intelligence check they are able to discern the writer’s state of mind and even skim their surface thoughts. In this way the sash allows them to determine nuances of the script, such as its relative importance to the script writer, etc.
