Extracted from the mind of an unfinished god, the grey matter can be used to enhance a caster's ability. Merging with the mind of a god is dangerous, however, and many who have tried report severe headaches and abnormal habits. That is, it is very rare that a subject actually survives the procedure to tell about it.
To attune to this grey matter, it must be surgically implanted into your skull. This procedure requires a DC 17 Wisdom (Medicine) check. Failing to implant the grey matter results in the subject dying and the grey matter destroyed. You cannot unattune from this item unless it is removed with a similar procedure.
Random Properties
The Atropal Grey Matter has the following random properties:
- 1 minor beneficial property.
- 1 major beneficial properties.
- 1 major detrimental property.
- 1 bout of indefinite madness (lasts until unattuned and cured).

- You become vulnerable to radiant damage and resistant to necrotic damage.
- The grey matter has spellcasting capabilities, both separate from your own and yet also merged. The grey matter has 8 charges, regaining 1d8 charges daily at dawn. These charges can be used to cast the following spells (save DC 20, +12 to spell attacks): ray of frost (1 charge, scales with your level), vampiric touch (1 charge), antilife shell (2 charges), and divine word (3 charges). In addition, charges can be spent to cast other spells you currently have prepared, to a maximum of 7th level. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level spell (1 charge); 4th or 5th level spell (2 charges); and 6th or 7th level spell (3 charges). When spells are cast in this way, use the grey matter's spell attributes (save DC 20, +12 to spell attacks).
