KonoOC Do not [STEAL] 2

Discussion

Disclaimer: This is simply for fun; This isn’t trying to create a fleshed-out character with a full personality and history nor is it me claiming “Oc do not [STEAL]”; I just thought it’d be a fun title.

First idea This post contains more info behind this exercise

I like thinking up original characters and I want to try a design exercise so let’s see how this goes. If this doesn’t get taken down, I’d like to continue posting about them every now and then. This is just to create a general idea of a new general adventurer in the Konosuba world, not a new party member for Kazuma's party.

-------------

A native spellcaster who uses a mystical item for battle and everyday mysticism. This item channels the gods for several tasks, such as foretelling the future, learn what is happening in the present, and grants its user with incredible magical power. The mystical item was originally a cheat item given to a previously reincarnated hero who died long ago, and sadly for them, it worked for that specific hero. So how can they use it?

Basically, it's just a magic 8 ball-like item. Whenever it's used for divination, to answer questions, or for battle, whatever comes up is simply them trying to interpret the words of the gods; these interpretations would obviously cause trouble, steer them in wrong directions, or even just have them do nothing even in the face of danger. In short, it's used like the Magic Conch Shell from SpongeBob: they obey it, and any power supposedly coming from it is actually the spellcaster's own power that they think they cannot use.

This is inspired by TRPGs and how dice-rolling dictates everything; you'd see even the characters with the best stats can roll a one and fail miserably. It's this type of thing that that I can see being interpreted/parodied as a konosuba character.
