Weapon
Deck Of Woe
Created by HeadsmansbasterdDeck Of Woe is a cursed set of playing cards, each imbued with dark magic. The cards act as deadly throwing weapons, applying sinister effects upon impact. Cards in the suit of hearts inflict a blood magic curse, causing the target to bleed with every use of mana. Diamond cards paralyze the victim, while clubs cards entrap them in cursed chains. Spades cards summon a nightmarish zone of shadow. The deck passively regenerates one card every four hours, and spent cards can be recharged through mana channeled into the deck's box, restoring one card every five minutes. This artifact is a potent and dangerous tool, with both offensive and restorative capabilities, making it a double-edged weapon for the wielder to wield with caution.

Curse of Blood Magic

Cursed Chains
Cards from the suit of clubs bind the target with cursed chains, reducing their movement speed to 0 and requiring a Strength saving throw (DC 15) to break free at the end of each of their turns.
Zone of Nightmares
Cards from the suit of spades create a 10-foot radius zone of shadow that lasts for 1 minute. Creatures within the zone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15) or be frightened for the duration.
