The Silent Hag represents insight, treacherous secrets, and strife. As long as you have The Silent Hag invested, it grants you a +2 item bonus to Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion checks to Recall Knowledge—when you invest the card, choose which of these four skills gains the bonus. You can change the skill by investing the card again. This increases to a +3 item bonus if you are at least 17th level.

Frequency once per hour
Effect You choose to lose one of your senses and gain another until you use this activation again. Choose from one of the following:
- Your eyes are replaced by dark pits that see only death. You become Blinded and gain lifesense, an imprecise sense out to 60 feet. Lifesense allows you to see the vital essence of living and undead creatures, distinguishing between the vitality energy animating living creatures and void energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors.
- Your ears close up then become covered with hairs that are sensitive to movement. You become Deafened, but you can't be flanked.
- Your mouth seals over with flesh. You lose the ability to speak, but you do not need to breathe.
Traits
A rules element with this trait is one-of-a-kind. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to creatures with this trait is increased by 10.
ArtifactItems with this trait are artifacts. These magic items can't be crafted by normal means, and they can't be damaged by normal means. Artifacts are always rare or unique.
InvestedA character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn't invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
MagicalSomething with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
