[Relics from the East] Mask of the Kitsune (Patreon)
Content
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
Where demons arise, so follows the Courteous Cabal. Though the cabal maintains a neutral stance in most wars, they can often be observed combing battlefields, offering quick deaths to the wounded, and seeking out the abominations that might feast upon the corpses.
This mask has 6 charges, which manifest as six, incorporeal, fox-like tails. It regains all expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing this mask you can use the Soul Spin, Spirit Ray, and Spirit Trance properties.
Soul Spin. As an action you can spend 3 charges, conjuring a fierce vortex of ethereal fire, in a 10-foot-wide, 40-foot-high cylinder on a point within 120 feet for up to 1 minute, as if concentrating on a spell. Until the effect ends, dim light fills the cylinder and is shed for 10 feet. When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed in raging purple flames and must make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. It takes 3d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
On each of your turns after you use this property, you can use an action to move the vortex up to 60 feet in any direction.
Spirit Ray. As an action you can spend any number of charges to cause the same number of tails to whip into ghostly rays which you hurl at targets within 120 feet. Make a ranged spell attack (+7 to hit) for each ray, dealing 2d6 psychic damage on a hit.
Spirit Trance. As an action you can point at a corpse and expend 1 charge. A tail shoots towards the body, forming a ghostly re-enactment of the ten seconds before the corpse’s death.
