As part of your pact with The Librarian, you may be called upon to , transport tomes to distant libraries, prevent the loss of knowledge, keep the peace within a library, and even collect late fees and track down stolen tomes.

Brilliant Insight. Divination spells for you may have the cast time of an action and you may cast any divination spell below 7th-level once per long rest without expending a spell slot or material components.
Power Word: Shush. Your shushing powers are mighty! If a creature uses an ability that you can hear like a Banshee's wail or a spell with a verbal component, you can use your reaction to identify the effect and, if you choose to, have the creature make a Charisma saving throw. The ability does not trigger if the creature fails and the ability or that level of spell cannot be used again for 1 hour. Once a creature has failed a saving throw against this ability, you may not use it again until you finish a short rest.
