Wish (Su): The item grants you a single wish as the spell. You must state the desired effect while holding the item. As long as you have performed the appropriate legacy ritual and meet the level requirement, you gain this benefit, even if a previous owner has made a wish using the item. A given creature can never gain more than one wish in this way. If a save is allowed, the save DC is 23, or 19 + your Charisma modifier, whichever is higher.

Wizardry I (Su): While you are holding, wearing, or wielding the item, you can prepare or cast double your normal number of 1st-level arcane spells per day, as though wearing a ring of wizardry I.

X-Ray Vision (Su): When you issue the command word and gesture with the item, you can continually see through solid matter, as though wearing a ring of X-ray vision. Using the ability is physically exhausting, and you take 1 point of Constitution damage per minute after the first 10 minutes of use in a single day. ABILITY MENU G (GREATER)

Alternatively, you can “lose” Menu G choices to select abilities from Menus H and I, as described under those menus. You can choose one ability from any lower menu in place of one from Menu G. Menu G abilities have a caster level of 15th.
