Nihilith's Grasp

Wondrous Item

Rare Requires Attunement

Nihilith's Grasp, crafted from a Decaybane Gem, takes on an even more ominous aspect as one scrutinizes its intricate cuts. Within the onyx-hued crystal, the fissures and lines converge to form the haunting impression of an otherworldly skull. The skull's contours, sharp and elongated, suggest an ethereal visage with hollow eye sockets and a twisted, spectral grin. This macabre silhouette, created by arcane craftsmanship rather than nature, intensifies the gem's unsettling aura. The semblance of an otherworldly skull within Nihilith's Grasp serves as a silent testament to the dark powers it commands, an eerie symbol of the entropic forces held captive within the heart of the gem.. The gem is perfectly smooth to the touch, cool to the hand, and seemingly resistant to any blemish or mark. you can use an action to speak the gem's command word and summon a Flesh Golem, as if you had cast the Create Undead spell. The Gem can’t be used this way again until the next dawn. The command word for Nihilith's Grasp in Infernal is "Vorashak," uttered with the guttural resonance and infernal cadence inherent to the language of the Nine Hells.

Nihilith's Grasp is born from a rare and powerful crystal known as a Decaybane Gem, forged in the crucible of entropic energies. Crafted by an ancient necromancer named Nihilith, the gem became a focus of dark rituals and experiments in the manipulation of decay. Legends speak of Nihilith's insatiable desire for power and his ability to command the forces of death itself.

Over time, the gem gained a dark reputation, becoming both coveted and feared. Necromancers and dark cults sought its might to accelerate decay, bringing ruin to their enemies and raising the fallen as undead minions. The gem's malevolent power lingered, and Nihilith's Grasp, now separated from its creator, waits to be wielded by those who seek dominion over the entropic forces of decay.
