This black leather drawstring bag whispers to you as you hold it, and infects your dreams with those of the souls trapped within. The Bag was made to contain the souls of the dead and use them as magical power. It has a maximum of 50 charges, a found soul bag has 3d8 charges, and a created one starts with none. While holding the Bag of Souls, you may use your reaction to collect one soul for every creature (not undead, constructs, or aberrations) that has died within 20 ft. of you in since your last turn. Each soul gives you a number of charges equal to its CR divided by three (Minimum of 1). As an action you may expend any number of charges to activate one of the following effects.
- You may increase the damage of your next spell by a number of d8 equal to the charges expended
- You may gain a number of temporary hit points equal to three times the charges expended
- You may regain one level worth of spell slots for every two charges expended. (Ex. four charges for two first level spell slots or one second level spell slot.) You may only regain 5th level slots or lower.
- You expend one charge to gain advantage on the next ability check you make
- You may gain a bonus to an ability roll equal to the amount of charges spent.
Curse.
A creature whose soul has been captured by the spell bag cannot be brought back to life until their soul has been released. Every time you release a soul you may choose whose soul you release, regardless of how many charges you expend.
Furthermore every time you release a soul roll a d20, on a 1, a soul inhabits the nearest creature (not including you). If the creature has an intelligence of 3 or lower, the soul is granted full power over the body and acts as it would in life. If the creature has an intelligence of 4 or higher, the creature must make a DC14 charisma saving throw or be possessed by the soul until the next dawn, where the saving throw can be made again. A creature can only be possessed by one soul at a time and a <spell>remove curse</spell> spell or similar magic removes this soul.
