[Eastern Relics] Kitsune Mask (Patreon)

Kitsune Mask

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Component: fey (kitsune) psyche

Where demons arise, so follows the Courteous Cabal. Though the cabal maintains a neutral stance in most wars, its members 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 9 charges, which manifest as nine incorporeal, fox-like tails. It regains 1d6 + 3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Soul Vortex. As an action while wearing the mask, you can spend 2 charges to conjure a fierce vortex of ethereal fire in a 5-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centred on a point within 120 feet of you. The vortex lasts for 1 minute, or until your concentration ends, as if concentrating on a spell. Dim light fills the cylinder. When a creature enters the 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, taking 3d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On each of your turns, you can use an action to move the vortex up to 60 feet in any direction.

Spirit Ray. As an action while wearing the mask, you can spend 2 to 5 charges to whip a number of tails into ghostly rays which you hurl at creatures within 120 feet of you. You produce three rays for the first two charges spent, and an additional ray for each charge beyond that. Make a ranged spell attack (+7 to hit) for each ray, dealing 2d6 psychic damage on a hit.

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

Uncommon variant: Reduce the charges to 5, the recharge to 1d4 + 1, the DC to 13, and the attack bonus to +5.

Very rare variant: Increase the DC to 16, the damage of the Soul Vortex property to 4d6, the damage of the Spirit Ray property to 3d6, and the attack bonus to +8.
