Although it appears to be a normal pearl, a pearl of wisdom
will cause a cleric to increase 1 point in wisdom if he or she retains
the pearl for a 1 month period.

The increase happens at the expiration of
30 days, but thereafter the pearl must be retained by the cleric and kept on
his or her person, or the 1 point gain will be lost. Note that 1 in 20 of these
magical pearls are cursed to work in reverse, but once the 1 point of
wisdom is lost, the pearl turns to powder, and the loss i s permanent barring
some magical restoration means such as a wish or Tome of Understonding.
 
 

Q. If a Priest with a WIS of 13 gains a
pearl of wisdom does the use of the
item enable the priest to gain a
WIS of 19?
A. Yes.  The priest in question would
gain a WIS of 19 for as long as the
pearl was in his possession.
Details of the effects of this improved
WIS can be found on p7 of the
DEITIES & DEMIGODS Cyclopdia.
