The Ring of Withering Touch is a macabre accessory crafted from refined silver, fashioned in the likeness of a skull with a clear gemstone adorning its crown. Within this ring lies a potent necrotic power, emanating an aura of darkness and decay.
Due to its rare and potent nature, the Ring of Withering Touch commands a considerable price in the magical item market, typically ranging from 1500 to 2000 gold pieces.
Legends speak of powerful necromancers and dark sorcerers of the Vache Kingdom who once wielded rings imbued with the power to channel necrotic energy. While the origins of each individual Ring of Withering Touch may vary, their presence often signifies a connection to the darker arts and arcane mysteries.
Special Feature:
- Necrotic Affinity: Once per short rest, the wearer of the ring can unleash a surge of necrotic energy, casting the Inflict Wounds spell without expending a spell slot. The spell manifests as a melee spell attack against a creature within reach, dealing 3d10 necrotic damage on a successful hit.
- Spell Scaling: When casting Inflict Wounds using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st, following the standard rules for spell scaling.
