Mother Mayeye's Bag of Souls

Wondrous item, very rare, requires attunement by a warlock

This small sack is made of an unknown black leather, stitched together with thick black cord.

When a living creature with an Intelligence of 3 or higher dies within 30 feet of you, you may use a reaction to capture the soul within the bag. The bag can hold up to 10 souls at a time. Once within Mother Mayeye’s Bag, the souls can be used as charges for the following properties. When a soul is expended for any purpose, you have no control which soul is released and expended from the bag.   Steal Life. You can use an action to draw vigor from and expend any number of souls in the bag. Each soul spent this way can be spent to heal wounds for 1d4+1 hit points to any target within 30 feet. These healings can be split up to any number of targets. For example, if 5 souls were released, 3 souls could be sent to one target to heal 3d4+3 hit points, 1 soul could be sent to heal a second target for 1d4+1 hit points, and the last soul could be used to heal the weilder for 1d4+1 hit points.   Siphon Experience. You can use a bonus action to bolster yourself with the soul’s life experience, making your next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with advantage. This property expends one soul from the bag.   Query Soul. You release a soul from the bag, expending it, and you ask the soul one question (no action required) and receive a brief telepathic answer, which you can understand regardless of the language used. The soul knows only what it knew in life, but it must answer you truthfully and to the best of its ability. The answer is no more than a sentence or two and might be cryptic.   Empower. You can use a bonus action to transform the souls’ essences into raw power to fuel your magic. You can expend five souls to restore one fifth level spell slot.
