Soul of the Shadowfell

Artifact (Bound)

Crystallized energy drawn from the Shadowfell materialized into physical form. This pitch black orb sparks wildly with necrotic energy that surges through the heart of the host.

While bound to the Soul, the wielder is able to draw upon the energies of the Shadowfell. 

• Resistance to necrotic damage
• Essence Drain: As an action, you draw upon the energies of the Shadowfell to empower your attacks with necrotic energy that drains your foes of the life's energy. For the next hour, you deal and extra 1d6 necrotic damage the first time you deal damage to a target with a weapon or a spell attack. Each time you deal this damage, targets max health is reduced by the same amount and you gain a Shard of Life. At the end of the hour or when you fall unconscious, you lose all Shards of Life.
  • Shards of Life: You may have a max number of Shards of Life equal to your spellcasting modifier (minimum of 1). On your turn, you may expend one or more Shards of Life to use either Restore or Erode.
    • Restore: You cast a number of Shards of life into a nearby creature you can see within 60ft, healing it 1d6 + your spellcasting modifier. For each additional Shard of Life spent, add an additional 1d6.
    • Erode: You cast a number of Shards of life into a nearby creature you can see, draining them of their energy. Make a spell attack roll, on a hit you deal 1d6 + your spellcasting modifier as necrotic damage. The targets max health is reduced by the amount of damage dealt. For each additional Shard of Life spent, add an additional 1d6 necrotic damage.
• Absorb: When you extract the soul from another being, you may absorb the soul to further augment the power of the Soul of the Shadowfell. When you absorb a soul, you pulsate necrotic energy around you in a 30ft radius. For each creature in the area, you choose whether they are harmed or healed by the necrotic energy. Those who are harmed take 3d10 necrotic damage and those who are healed are healed for 3d10hp.
