Zafkiel |
Wondrous Item, artifact (Requires attunement by a creature Zafkiel deems worthy) This is a large clock with Roman numerals that hovers behind the owner when summoned. Its size scales to always have a diameter equal to twice your height. It is accompanied by an archaic pistol and musket that serve as its hour and minute hands respectively. If you lose the ability to use one of your Numbered bullets, its corresponding numeral on Zafkiel's clock loses its light and dims until you regain the ability to use it.
Magically Bound. This item can not be removed from you against your will. You can summon Zafkiel as a bonus action, and dismiss it to its own extradimensional space as a bonus action. While Zafkiel is summoned, its pistol and musket are also summoned and must be wielded. When a creature attunes to Zafkiel, it is permanently attuned and bound to them. An attuned creature is cursed, becoming unwilling to part with Zafkiel. Divine intervention can break this curse, ending the attunement. Magically Tuned. Zafkiel and its firearms can be used as a spellcasting focus. Limitless Firepower. Zafkiel's firearms do not use ammunition. Instead, they create their own bullet upon being fired, except for when firing a Numbered bullet, which disappears upon a hit or miss. You must alternate between using the musket and pistol when attacking with them. Lightweight Frame. Zafkiel's firearms have a range of 30/90 feet, have the light property. The pistol deals 1d10 piercing damage and weighs 1 lb. The musket deals 1d12 piercing damage, does not have the two-handed property, and weighs 4 lbs. Altered Life. When you attune to this item, your lifespan is permanently altered. You stop aging and your life is now measured in Time Units. You start with 30 time units when you attune to this item. Your number of Time Units decreases by 1 every midnight. If you are on a plane that does not have the passage of time, your Time Units do not decrease. The iris and pupil of your left eye (if you have eyes) transform into a tiny gold clock. You still see out of your left eye as normal. This clock's hands spin clockwise very slowly, representing the amount of Time Units you have left, and spin counterclockwise when you gain Time Units. When you reach 0 Time Units, you instantly die, bypassing your death saves. SecondMagic Item. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with Zafkiel's firearms. Life Steal. When another creature, that is not a familiar or summoned creature, you can see within 30 feet dies, you can use an action to take 30 Time Units from their death. The creature must not be a familiar.

When you fire a Numbered bullet, you point the pistol or musket used in the attack at the numeral on Zafkiel's clock that corresponds with the Numbered bullet. The firearm will then create the bullet using the appropriate amount of your Time Units. You then make the attack against the target creature. If the Numbered bullet requires the target to make a saving throw, the saving throw DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + you Dexterity modifier. You can also attack yourself with the Numbered bullet. If you target yourself or a willing creature, the attack automatically hits. The Numbered bullet disappears upon a hit or miss.
