The Soulslight Lantern

The Soulslight Lantern

Wonderous item, legendary (requires attunement)

Instead of light, swirls of grey, black, and white fill the globe of this tarnished silver lantern.

The lantern has 3 charges. As an action, you can speak the command word and expend 1 charge to cause one spirit residing within the lantern to emerge under your command for the next 1 hour. While summoned, the spirit has the statistics of a specter (CR 1; MM, p 279). The lantern gains an additional charge (up to 8) when a living, sentient creature dies within 20 feet of the lantern. The creature’s soul is drawn into the lantern on its death, where it resides in a state of limbo.
