Sagebow

Weapon (any bow), rare
This rough-hewn bow is carved from many interlocking pieces of sage wood. The creaking of the wood when drawn is intelligible to the wielder and full of secret knowledge. The sagebow has 3 charges. Whenever you draw this bow to make a ranged attack, you can expend 1 charge to learn a secret. This secret can be: the location of one trap or secret door within 150 feet of you, the surface thoughts of the creature you are attacking, the location of any food or water within 150 feet of you, or a piece of ancient lore from the region you are in. Secrets are no longer than a single phrase. If you choose to cancel your attack after learning a secret, you may do so, ending your action. The sagebow regains all spent charges daily at dawn.
Endelva drew her bow and aimed it at the hulking beast, snorting obliviously as it rooted for tubers. But before she loosed an arrow, she listened closely to the creaking of the sage wood. It whispered the fear and determination of a mother in search of food for her children before the harsh winter winds blow from the north and the long hunger sets in. Endelva hesitated before lowering her bow, her conscience ruling that she must find quarry elsewhere.
Errata- Changed weapon type from longbow to any bow.
