Flask Of Souls

Created by Kstarfireheart3583

This imposing crystalline vessel rests upon an obsidian base, its massive form filled with swirling shadows and glimmering motes of light that dance and coalesce within its depths. A permanent obsidian stopper seals the flask, preventing any escape of the countless souls trapped within its crystalline prison. The container thrums with ancient power, and those who gaze upon it can sense the weight of thousands of trapped spirits yearning within. By concentrating on the flask, the wielder may commune with one of the imprisoned souls, drawing upon their knowledge and experience to bolster their own abilities. When consulting the souls in this manner, the user gains a +4 bonus to skill checks, saving throws, or attack rolls, as determined by the Dungeon Master based on the relevant soul's expertise. Beyond combat assistance, the souls may also be questioned about creatures and locations throughout the realms, providing invaluable information about distant lands, powerful beings, or forgotten history. However, extracting knowledge from such a dark artifact leaves one haunted by whispers of the damned and visions of the souls' final moments. The souls within grow restless when consulted too frequently, and the flask demands a terrible price for its power.
