[Monster Hunting - The Veiled Lady] Sporespreader (Patreon)

Staff, rod, or wand, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Used as a magical focus of the more humanoid-esque, ‘customer-facing’ hyphan colonists, sporespreaders are enchanted to facilitate the calming and assimilation of would-be interlopers. The magic in these foci can poison foes with infectious spores, or generate obscuring thick black clouds to allow their wielders to flee dangerous situations.

This focus has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 charges daily at dawn. While holding the sporespreader, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spellcasting ability:

• Charm person (1 charge)
• Calm emotions (2 charges)
• Enrage* (2 charges)
• Mortiferous pulse (2 charges)
• Charm people (3 charges)

You can also cast the spore cloud* and smokescreen* cantrips from the focus without using any charges.



Mortiferous Pulse

2nd-level biomancy* (*can be replaced with necromancy)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (50-foot line)

Components: V, S, M (a dead animal)

Duration: Instantaneous

Mechanism: Damage; Dex save

Classes: Bard, Druid, Warlock

You summon a bolt of negative energy to stimulate and transmit necrotic pathogens into those that stand before you, decaying their internal viscera. Each creature in a line 50 feet long and 5 feet wide extending from you must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
