Plagued by nightmarish creatures and sinister forces, each region harbors unique horrors.


Author's Note: W.I.P. Mournhollow is a grim and foreboding land shrouded in perpetual twilight. The landscape is dotted with decaying forests, abandoned villages, and ancient ruins where shadows whisper secrets of the past. This world is plagued by nightmarish creatures and sinister forces, with each region harboring its own unique horrors. The people of Mournhollow live in constant fear, seeking the aid of mercenaries and monster hunters to protect them from the darkness that encroaches on their lives. Mournhollow is designed as a world where danger lurks around every corner, and the line between hero and villain is often blurred. It is a realm where the brave or the desperate take up arms against the darkness. Inspired by the gothic horror themes of Ravenloft, Mournhollow provides a rich setting for stories of valor, betrayal, and survival. The mercenary gunslinger will find ample opportunities to take on contracts, from slaying monstrous beasts to uncovering ancient curses. Players are encouraged to delve into the moral complexities of their characters, exploring what it means to fight against the shadows, and what price they are willing to pay for their own survival.

Rod of Absorption
Very RareGear (Rod)
Rod of Absorption
Weight2.00 lb.

Description

While holding this rod, you can use your reaction to absorb a spell that is targeting only you and not with an area of effect. The absorbed spell's effect is canceled, and the spell's energy-not the spell itself-is stored in the rod. The energy has the same level as the spell when it was cast. The rod can absorb and store up to 50 levels of energy over the course of its existence. Once the rod absorbs 50 levels of energy, it can't absorb more. If you are targeted by a spell that the rod can't store, the rod has no effect on that spell. When you become attuned to the rod, you know how many levels of energy the rod has absorbed over the course of its existence, and how many levels of spell energy it currently has stored. If you are a spellcaster holding the rod, you can convert energy stored in it into spell slots to cast spells you have prepared or know. You can create spell slots only of a level equal to or lower than your own spell slots, up to a maximum of 5th level. You use the stored levels in place of your slots, but otherwise cast the spell as normal. For example, you can use 3 levels stored in the rod as a 3rd-level spell slot. A newly found rod has 1d10 levels of spell energy stored in it already. A rod that can no longer absorb spell energy and has no energy remaining becomes nonmagical.
