Hi everyone. I thought about putting this in the Superstar threads for peer review, but I just started working on it tonight and didn't want to cut in front of someone else waiting for a Clark review (me included!). So, I'm hoping for a little peer review here. While this item would work for anyone, I have it in mind for my group's paladin. He is presently trekking back to a large city in the middle of a dungeon crawl in order to have commune cast due to some rash actions on the part of another party member. I am so fortunate to game with dedicated roleplayers!
As the only divine-type character in the group, and being unable to cast commune on his own, I thought this might be a nice item for him. Hopefully not too nice though! :) The major concern is something else happening in the future in the party and him trekking back to a town again, which - while awesome - puts a pause in game play for everyone.
If you have the time, would you mind letting me know what you think of the item overall? How's the pricing, etc?

Description
This small piece of parchment contains religious scriptures of the chosen deity. It must be placed inside a phylactery of faithfulness to function. Written by the hand of a planar ally faithful to the deity, it confers the additional benefit of allowing the wearer of the phylactery of faithfulness with the hieratic tract inside to ask seven questions of the associated deity or their representative as per the commune spell. The hieratic tract can be used in such a manner every fortnight (fourteen days).
