I know a number of people are unfamiliar with this premium perk, so I thought I would post about it. Each character on your premium account can go to the Prestidigitorium on FWI and get a 1x daily spell item. The spell in the item changes each month. I believe that was so that you can try new and different spells you might not have otherwise had access to.

The shop is "an ivy-strewn white marble edifice" on Tigerlily Avenue (;go2 3640). Inside is an Illusionist NPC and a table of jewelry. I personally recommend the pin worn ones!

>ask illusionist about talismans
The illusionist leans toward you and says, "The items on the table hold a different spell each month that can be cast one or two times per day, depending on the spell. It will be attuned to you, so choose wisely. All the items will cast the same spell."

>look on table
On the low table:
Clothing [7]: a pile of leather headbands, a pile of golden pendants, a pile of platinum pins, a pile of twisted wire armbands, a pile of silver bracelets, a pile of monsoon jasper rings, a pile of woven reed anklets


Analysis:
You analyze your platinum pin and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This is a magical item that that will cast the Premium Spell of the Month. Casting Elemental Detection (spell 405), loresinging, or looking at the pin will offer more information.

You get no sense of whether or not the pin may be further lightened.


>prep 405
A thick, shadowy mist pours out of your mouth as you prepare Elemental Detection...
Your spell is ready.
>cast my pin
You gesture at a circular platinum pin inlaid with a multicolored sea glass mosaic.
You sense that the platinum pin is a magic item that contains the Corrupt Essence spell. It will grant the user 1 charge, once a day, can be waved, and it recharges a single use roughly every 1440 minutes. The pin hasn't been used recently.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

I remember the announcement when it came out, but you're right, I never got one. Thanks for the reminder!

Are they considered 'functional', or not? I've got a bunch of pin-worn Enhancives eating up my pin-worn slots....

Yes, functional.

Last month was Mobility, which was decent.

They are functional and they are a right pain to deal with when up against the slot limit. I had to ASSIST to find a way to get rid of mine when I ran out of functional space. (put it in a bag and put the bag in the bin twice) If it had been mobility the month I needed a new slot I might not have got so determined to be rid of it, but it was "surely you do not mean to target yourself" and so it went.
