Deathrealm Mask

A legendary variant of the sentira masks, the Deathrealm Mask is a feared tool of assassins.

The Deathrealm Mask creates a pocket temporarily bridging the Prime Material Plane with the Plane of Dolurrh, the Realm of the Dead.

Challenge of Death

Activation. The power of the mask is activated when the wearer focuses on a target and through force of will bolstered by the planar magic of the mask pulls that target into a shadowy pocket dimension. The target must succeed in a Charisma contest against the wearer to avoid being pulled in. This may be done 1/day. Charges reset at dawn.

When successfully activated,  a furious shadow wall rises up, swirling about the mask in a 120ft perimeter. The very fabric of reality becomes duller, colors lose their vibrancy,  and the weight of the air becomes despairing. This pocket dimension only lasts for 5 rounds, and disappears when either the wearer or the target is killed or the mask is removed. If neither target nor wearer are killed by the end of the 5th round, then both are returned to the Prime Material Plane and suffer 2d8 psychic damage (no resistances are applied).

Environment. No magic short of a Wish works in the pocket dimension. Only psionic based spells and innate spells continue to work.

Death. Should either the wearer or target die while in the shadowy pocket dimension, then the shadow realm lifts its veil and carries along the dead with it. The dead and its possessions (except for the Deathrealm Mask) do not return to the Prime Material Plane.  Furthermore, the survivor gains +1d10 temporary hit points and advantage for the next minute (10 rounds)

Other notes of interest...

• The Deathrealm Mask may only be activated on the Prime Material Plane
• For observers on the Prime Material Plane, the wearer and its target appear to vanish like a shadow
• For observers with the ability of True Seeing or similar means of Ethereal perception, they are able to view but cannot affect the wearer and target and their environment.
