This sphere measures 3 inches in diameter and weighs 1 pound. You can use an action to speak the command word and throw the sphere at a Huge or smaller beast you can see within 60 feet of you. As the sphere moves through the air, it opens into a tangle of metal bands.
Make a ranged attack roll with an attack bonus equal to your Dexterity modifier plus your proficiency bonus. On a hit, the target is restrained until you take a bonus action to speak the command word again to release it. Doing so, or missing with the attack, causes the bands to contract and become a sphere once more.
The creature can make a STR Check to break the bands. On a success the Bands are broken and the beast is set free. On a fail the bands contract until they become an inch in diameter condensing the life force of the creature and transferring its image to the fey realm. The band is considered spent and can only be used in an Orb of Lesser Animal Summoning to summon that creature.
The band can be made out of multiple materials affecting the STR check the animals must break to become free.
- Wood DC 10
- Bronze/Copper DC 15
- Iron DC 20
To make the items a crafts person can be given a animal heart and the materials to craft these.
- Wood 1/4 CR beast heart
- Bronze 1/2 CR beast heart
- Iron 1 CR beast heart
