Creatures might see images of you streaking through the sky between your point of origin and the destination. You and any creatures in the mortar travel through a dreamlike sky, with hazy reflections of the world passing by below. If the stated destination is within 1,000 miles of you, the mortar lifts into the air and vanishes. You don't need to know where your destination is, but it must be a specific destination - not just the nearest river or a red dragon's lair. If you are holding the pestle while you are inside the mortar, you can use your action to verbally command the mortar to travel to a specific place or creature. If you wish, when the pestle stops, you can have the mortar separate its contents - like powdered bone, crushed herbs, pulped organs - into separate piles. If this reduces the target's hit points to 0, the target is reduced to powder, pulp, or paste, as appropriate. At the start of each of your turns, whatever is in the mortar takes 4dl0 force damage. For the next minute, or until you use your action to verbally command it to stop, the pestle moves on its own, grinding the contents of the mortar into a mush or fine powder that's equally useful for cooking or alchemy. As an action while the pestle and the mortar is within 5 feet of you, you can command the pestle to grind. You have advantage on any check you make using the artifact as one of these tools. You can also use the artifact as alchemist's supplies, brewer's supplies, cook's utensils, an herbalism kit, and a poisoner's it.

Once you use this action, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest. The mortar instantly fills with the desired amount of that material. While holding the mortar and pestle, you can use your action to say the name of any nonmagical plant, mineral, or fluid and an amount of the material worth 10 gp or less. The pestle regains all expended charges daily at dawn. When you hit with a melee attack using the pestle, you can expend up to 3 of its charges to deal an extra 1d8 force damage for each charge expended. As a quarterstaff, the pestle is a magic weapon that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. Once during your turn while you are holding the pestle, you can extend it into a quarterstaff or shrink it back into a pestle (no action required). The pestle is a 6-inchlong, worn wooden tool.

However, the mortar increases in size to accommodate anything you place inside, expanding - if there's enough space - up to Large size, meaning it can hold even a Large creature. This artifact has the following random properties, which you can determine by rolling on the tables in the 'Artifacts' section of the Dungeon Master's Guide: Should the two objects become separated, the pestle appears next to the mortar at the next dawn.
