Voice of Oaths
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a paladin)

The appearance of this ear cuff changes to match your paladin oath. Regardless of its appearance, it is always made of several separate bands, which are chained together unless you have broken your oath; each band depicts one of your oath's tenets.

While wearing the cuff, the range of your paladin auras is increased by 5 feet; the range is increased by 10 feet instead if you have 17 or more levels in the paladin class. In addition, you can cast each of your available oath spells once, without expending a spell slot. Once you do, you can't cast that spell again in this way until you finish a long rest.

Sentience. The voice of oaths is a sentient lawful neutral item with an Intelligence of 13, a Wisdom of 13, and a Charisma of 17. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. It communicates telepathically with its wearer and can speak, read, and understand Common. While you're attuned to it, it also understands every language you know. Its voice sounds like an echo of your own, quiet and subtle enough to be mistaken for your conscience.

Personality. Like its appearance, the item's personality is shaped by your oath and embodies the most extreme interpretation of your oath's tenets. It generally remains silent, but will encourage whatever course of action would best align with its beliefs or oppose decisions that go against them.

This chain is mine, each link a word held closer to my heart than blood or bone.
These rings are mine, encircled and enshrined on me as a sign of my perpetual oath.
You may think me bound, but only as an anchor binds a ship to save it from crashing 'gainst the rocks.
I am a lighthouse, and my oath is the flame.
