The cursed head of Thydeos, the son of Hecate. A fragment of his power remains within the skull, alongside all the knowledge he accumulated throughout his life. This artifact is a powerful and unsettling relic of a being tied to the darkest realms of magic.

You can channel his remaining power as a bonus action, drawing from the skull’s energy. It has 5 charges, which replenish at dawn. You have three possible actions to choose from:

• Fire Ray: Ranged Spell Attack. [roll]1d20+5[/roll] to hit, range 30 ft., one target. [roll]3d6[/roll] fire damage.
• Illumination: The skull sheds either dim light in a 15-foot radius or bright light in a 15-foot radius with an additional 15 feet of dim light. You may switch between these options as an action.
• Healing Word: A creature of your choice within range that you can see regains hit points equal to [roll]3d4+5[/roll]. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

While wielding this item, you also gain access to the Mage Hand cantrip and the 1st-level spell Shield
