Hungry Lantern

This lantern is made of weathered tin and is cold and moist to the touch. The interior of the lantern, where a wick or candle would normally be placed, is filled with thick, black smoke, and there's no way to open the lantern.

Activate—Consuming Darkness ◆◆◆ (concentrate, darkness, death, manipulate, spirit)

Frequency once per week

Effect Pure, impenetrable darkness flows out of the lantern like smoke and simply eats the light. A 60-foot emanation centered on the lantern is plunged into darkness for 1 minute. This darkness functions as a 4th-rank Darkness spell. When the darkness is created, it deals 6d8 spirit damage (DC 30 fortitude save) to all creatures within the area. Any creature reduced to 0 Hit Points from this damage is destroyed entirely, leaving behind only a shadow that will slowly fade over the course of a year.
