A
curious teardrop, despite being a sphere of liquid metal, hangs like an earring on a golden finding. The intelligent droplet is a spirited chatterbox, always observing and taking mental notes; however, it's easily overwhelmed by new sights, which often reduce it to a sobbing mess. Occasionally, the
curious teardrop enters a stage of melancholy over the fragility of all matter, requiring immense reassurance to pull it out of its nihilism.
The tear prefers not to talk about its past, though it claims to be an actual tear separated from its “parent.” Clerics of
Laudinmio maintain that the elemental lord is the only being capable of shedding a perfect, sapient tear of metal.
Activate—Request a Spell
[two-actions] (
concentrate,

Frequency once per day;
Effect You ask for the
curious teardrop's assistance. It casts

Trigger You're targeted by an

Effect You receive a +4 status bonus to your saving throw against the triggering effect. Whether or not your save is successful, the teardrop attempts a
counteract check at +36 to immediately reflect a copy of the effect back at the originator, targeting it using the creature's own relevant statistics but controlling the effect as if the teardrop had cast it.
