Wondrous Item (Sphere), legendary (requires attunement)
This sphere was once known as the sphere of banishment, a fist sized clear crystal orb used to ensnare the spirits of evil draconic beings and render them weak. after years of being used in this way, the souls held within began to leak out, suffusing the artifact with a terrible curse. it can still be used for its purpose, but its capabilities are far outweighed by the side effects of keeping it near.
Draconic Drain: as an action, you may use life drain on any draconic creature that you can see. this spell acts as if it was cast by a level 6 spellcaster, and can be cast thrice per day. if a dragon is killed by this spell, their soul goes into the sphere, and it hums ominously.
Curse. This sphere is cursed. the curse can be removed with a remove curse spell or similar magic, or by spending 5 days away from the sphere. the curse forces the pc who attunes to the item to make a d10 wisdom saving throw once per night. on a failure, they must roll on this table.
