Item That Requires The Caster To Input A Series Of Symbols Matching A Prompt Into A Device That Casts

Item that requires the caster to input a series of symbols matching a prompt into a device that casts the spell. Level of complexity of the device could vary by rarity/power. Low level spells: Simon Says Cast Ray of Fire! High level spells would be more like Typing of the Dead.

Image shows a video game screen from "Typing of the Dead" (2000). One zombie has the prompt "enormous hair" and the other has the prompt "smart-looking boy". The environment is decrepit and the score is perfect.

Typing of the Dead used a computer keyboard, but any sufficiently complex device that will cast Lightning when the user inputs a sequence matching a prompt on it could do—ye olde typewriter, a piano keyboard or keytar (for bards), the Nintendo Powerglove, or, when casting a particularly complex spell at home, Just Dance 4 for the Microsoft Kinect.

From the game Typing of the Dead (2000) three people in suits (?) are wearing keyboards propped against their chests about at the bottom of their pectorals and held there by a necklace/strap going around the back of their shoulders and necks. The game suggests the player press enter to skip.

You discovered an abandoned one thousand page cookbook one day, and strangely, you found that you can’t flip to the next recipe without making the current dish. Flipping the page, you see the next dish calls for a liter of star dust and gives a “simple” explanation of how to build a starship.
