This wide-brimmed hat is made from green cloth, and has ornate yellow trim around its brim, base, and tip. This was the hat of Abelin Gemscribe, the founder of Abelin College, and a master of teleportation and arcanist magic. When he died at the ripe age of 148, his spirit was absorbed into the hat.

Sentience
Abelins's spirit lives within the hat, making it sentient. It is True Neutral and has an Intelligence of 21, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 9. It has darkvision with a range of 60 feet and communicates telepathically with the wielder in Common or Gnomish. An attuned creature can respond telepathically. If no creature is attuned to the hat, it can use its abilities on its own, and it has a magical flying speed of 20 feet, and can hover.
Personality
Just as he was in life, the spirit of Abelin is brilliant when it comes to magical theory, but not exactly the brightest otherwise. He is easily distracted by other things when talking, and can be somewhat obtuse, especially early in the morning. The hat wants to continue the magical research Abelin conducted while alive, especially concerning the true nature of the weave.
