Turned Soul Gem
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
Description
While you are holding this item, you may target one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. That target must make a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, the target's soul is magically trapped inside this gem. While the soul is trapped, the target's body and all the equipment it is carrying cease to exist. On a successful save, the target takes 7d6 necrotic damage, and if this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, its soul is trapped as if it failed the saving throw. A soul trapped in a gem for 24 hours is devoured and ceases to exist, and this gem gains 1 charge. If you die while holding this gem, and if this gem has at least 1 charge, you return to life within 1d10 days so long as the gem is in contact with you for the entire duration. If it ever leaves contact with you, the magic of the gem fades and becomes a mundane object. At the end of the 1d10 days, the gem loses 1 charge and you return to life as if the reincarnate spell had been cast on you, with your new body identical to one of the creatures whose soul had been devoured by this item (chosen randomly). Once a body has been chosen, it cannot be chosen again. Crushing this gem releases any soul trapped within, at which point the target's body re-forms in an unoccupied space nearest to the gem and in the same state as when it was trapped.
