[Variant] Glimpse of Darkness - D&D5e (Patreon)

Wondrous item, rare

___

This bomb was first crafted by a powerful sorcerer to unleash the power of the Shadow Realm upon the battlefield. With a single detonation, it tears a hole in the fabric of reality and summons forth a fragment of the realm of shadows itself, unleashing its dark and twisted magic upon the mortal world.

The air grows thick and heavy, and a profound silence descends, broken only by the sound of one's own heartbeat. It's as if the world itself has been swallowed by an endless void, where even light cannot escape. A 20-foot area around the bomb becomes engulfed in magic darkness, and no sound or nonmagical light can be created within or pass through the area.

The effect lasts for 1 minute, and after that, the darkness slowly dissipates.
