Requires Attunement
Yes
Properties
  • Corrupting Influence: While attuned, the wielder gains +2 to spell attack rolls and saving throw DCs but suffers disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws.
  • Radiant Heat Aura: Emits heat in a 10-foot radius dealing 2d6 fire damage to creatures starting their turn within the aura (Con save DC 15 for half).
  • Whispered Temptation: Once per long rest, the wielder can cast 'Dominate Person' (DC 17) by channeling the shard's energy.
Description

A pulsing, crystallized fragment of life energy that radiates intense heat and whispers temptations of power to nearby creatures.

Hook

The Ravager Core Shard’s corrupting power is slowly spreading to the surrounding land, creating dangerous magical anomalies.

History

This shard is a remnant from an ancient primordial entity whose corrupting life force twisted the lands it touched, granting immense power at great cost.

Quirk

The shard softly pulses with a slow heartbeat-like rhythm and occasionally emits faint, seductive whispers inaudible to those not attuned.

GM Notes

- Attunement grants powerful bonuses but risks mental corruption and social suspicion.
- The fire damage aura is constant and affects allies and foes alike.
- Temptation whispers can create compelling roleplay opportunities and moral dilemmas.
