[Unseelie] Silkspun Lantern (Patreon)

Wondrous item, rare

This enchanting lantern stirs a deep fascination in the hearts of those who behold it, and can be used to lure unsuspecting humanoids to the Plane of Fey. Weak-willed creatures who so much as glance at its mesmerising lilac hues find themselves haunted by wistful memories of its light and a desire to be near it.

Night Light. The lantern exists in one of three states: unravelled, shaded, or cocooned. As a bonus action while holding this lantern, you can cause it to change states. When unravelled, this lantern sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. When shaded, the lantern sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius, which only the creature carrying it can see. When cocooned, the lantern sheds no light.

Eclipse Swarm. While holding this lantern, you can cast the insect plague spell (save DC 15). When cast in this way, the spell creates moths instead of locusts. Once this property of the lantern has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

---------------------------------------

Uncommon variant: The item doesn’t have the Eclipse Swarm property.

Very rare variant: Increase the save DC to 16. The item has the Moth to a Flame property.

Moth to a Flame. As an action while holding the unravelled lantern, you can target a creature within 30 feet of you that can see the lantern, forcing it to succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 10 minutes. While charmed in this way, a creature must use all of its movement and action to approach the lantern on each of its turns, and can’t willingly move away from it. In addition, the creature is also blinded while within 5 feet of the lantern, unable to focus on anything but its radiance. The creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns if it took damage since its last turn, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once this property of the lantern has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
