Stitching Needle

This black iron needle easily pierces the skin. If a creature's mouth is sewn shut with a stitching needle, it loses the ability to speak or cast spells with verbal components. The creature gains the ability to communicate with telepathy out to a range of 60 feet. A creature you speak to in this manner does not need to share a language with you to communicate, but it must be able to understand at least one language. A creature without telepathy can receive and respond to messages but can't initiate a conversation with you. Stitching the mouth of a willing, unconscious, or incapacitated creature takes 10 minutes. Removing the stitches takes 1 minute.
