Witcher medallion

Upon choosing a school a witcher receives a medallion representing that school. The bond between a witcher and his medallion is personal and grows over time. Whilst a witcher medallion registers as a magical item it’s impossible for someone else to use it’s magical properties. A witchers medallion counts as an attuned magical item. When you wear your medallion and there are monsters within 100 feet that you cannot see you can make a perception check DC 10 to notice your medallion shaking alerting you to their presence. However you do not know how many, exact location or type of the monsters. You can create a new medallion, the price for this is 500 gold in materials and takes 1 hour to craft. After you crafted the medallion you need to perform an 8 hour ritual to bind with the medallion which will sever the bond with your old medallion. The new medallion you create is always of the same school you represent. In the next month after you bind with a new medallion all signs you cast require an intelligence check of DC 15 or fail.
