Copper Tablet

This plain copper tablet is very unassuming, marked only with a small number of arcane symbols, and an old proverb written in Draconic. By reading aloud the proverb, you may activate the tablet. While the tablet is active, all creatures within 120 feet take 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of each of their turns. Any creature killed in this manner has their soul trapped within the tablet until it is released. As an action, the holder of the tablet may release the soul trapped within. When you do so, make a ranged attack with a +7 bonus to hit against a target within 120 feet. If the attack hits, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 1d4 times the CR of the trapped creature (if the creature does not have a CR, use their level.) If the creature’s CR is below 1, their soul can not be trapped by the copper tablet. The copper tablet may only hold up to one soul at a time.
