Description and use

Wondrous Item, Common (Requires Attunement by a Wizard) This cone-shaped hat is adorned with moons and stars.

While you are wearing it, you gain the following benefits.

Spellcasting Focus.

You can use the hat as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells.

Unknown Spell.

As a Magic action, you can try to cast a cantrip that you don’t know.

The cantrip must be on the Wizard spell list and have a casting time of an action, and you make a DC 10 Intelligence (Arcana) check.

On a successful check, you cast the spell.

On a failed check, the spell fails, and the action used to cast the spell is wasted.

In either case, you can’t use this property again until you finish a Long Rest.
