Orb of Umbra

== Orb of Umbra Artifact (Orb), Legendary ==
This obsidian orb exudes an aura of malevolent darkness and crackles with eldritch energy. The Orb of Umbra is a legendary artifact created by the infamous Dark Wizard and necromancer known as Umbra. It is a sinister and powerful tool that grants its bearer control over shadow and necromantic magic.
=== Usage: ===
While holding the Orb of Umbra, the bearer gains the following abilities:
* Umbral Grasp (1 Action): Once per day, the bearer can use an action to project a tendril of darkness from the orb, which extends up to 30 feet. The tendril attempts to grapple a single creature within range, using the bearer's spell attack modifier. On a success, the target becomes immobilized and takes 2d8 negative damage. The bearer can spend additional actions on subsequent rounds to maintain the grapple and deal an additional 2d8 negative damage.
* Shadow Cloak (2 Actions): Once per day, the bearer can wrap themselves in an ethereal cloak of shadows, gaining concealment and resistance to all damage types. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
* Soul Siphon (3 Actions): Once per week, the bearer can use the orb's power to drain the life force from a creature within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 22 Fortitude saving throw or take 6d10 negative damage and become drained 2. The bearer gains temporary Hit Points equal to half the damage dealt.
* Umbral Desolation (2 Actions): Once per week, the bearer can unleash a wave of necrotic energy in a 40-foot cone originating from the orb. All creatures in the area must attempt a DC 22 Fortitude saving throw, taking 8d6 negative damage and becoming enfeebled 2 on a failure, or half damage and enfeebled 1 on a success.
=== Curse: ===
The malevolent nature of the Orb of Umbra slowly seeps into the bearer's soul, tainting their thoughts and actions with darkness. The bearer might become more obsessed with power and secrecy, and they could find themselves drawn to acts of cruelty and manipulation.
=== Destruction: ===
To destroy the Orb of Umbra, the bearer must gather a group of powerful and benevolent spellcasters who channel their combined magic into a ritual of purification. This ritual requires them to bathe the orb in the light of the sun while reciting incantations that cleanse it of its dark taint. If successful, the orb will shatter into shards of obsidian, which can then be scattered across the lands to prevent its reconstruction.
The Orb of Umbra is a dangerous and malevolent artifact that embodies the dark arts of shadow and necromancy. Its abilities offer formidable options for controlling and manipulating enemies, making it a tempting source of power for those who seek to embrace the darker aspects of magic. However, its use comes at a cost, as the orb's curse threatens to consume the bearer's morality and lead them down a path of darkness.
