[Divine] Item - Pyrite Idol

I really like the faceting and coloring for this one - a mix of cool yellows and reflected oranges. This idol in particular most closely resembles Halean (sun imagery), though I'm planning on avoiding describing the Aureliate gods in any particular detail.

Even among a deity's followers, hidden traitors work to undo the religion from within. They wield deceptive statuettes designed to portray devotion, stealing intelligence and reaping the benefits until the perfect time to strike.

Pyrite Idol
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

False Idol. This statuette is carved from iron pyrite, a material that closely resembles gold, and takes the shape of one deity. While attuned to this statuette, you have a +10 bonus to ability checks made to impersonate a follower of the statuette's deity, and that deity also considers you one of their followers.

Celestial Boon. While you hold, wear, or display this statuette, you gain a benefit determined by the statuette's deity. If the deity is good, you know the guidance cantrip and you can cast guiding bolt once, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. If the deity is evil, you know the minor illusion cantrip and you can cast hideous laughter once, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. The GM may choose an alternative boon based on the statuette's deity. For example, if the statuette depicts an Aureliate deity, the GM can select a boon from their respective table of boons.
