Description

The Lexicon of the Grasping Aether is a tome of unparalleled horror, said to be bound in the essence of a void so profound that it preys upon the souls of the living. Crafted in a forgotten era by a coven of liches whose lust for knowledge surpassed their fear of death, this book's pages are scribed in an ink distilled from the ichor of tormented spirits. The cover writhes with the anguished faces of those whose souls are forever entwined in its binding, their silent screams a testament to the book's malevolence.
Properties of the Lexicon of the Grasping Aether:
Soul Siphon: Each reading of the tome allows the user to drain life essence from a nearby creature, restoring their own vitality or mana.
Ethereal Chains: The user can animate the book's cover to extend spectral tendrils, capable of binding and immobilizing a foe once per long rest.
Whispers of the Damned: When the book is opened, it imparts eldritch knowledge of necromantic spells and rituals, granting the reader the ability to cast one additional necromancy spell per day.
Curses of the Lexicon of the Grasping Aether:
Echoes of the Void: The user risks being haunted by the voices of the damned, which can cloud their mind and disturb their sleep, causing levels of exhaustion.
Curse of the Aether: Upon using the book's power, the user must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or be cursed with an insatiable hunger for souls, driving them to seek out life force to consume.
Grasp of the Condemned: If the user attempts to destroy or discard the Lexicon, the tormented souls may lash out in retribution, wracking their body with agonizing pain and leaving scars that resemble the faces on the book's cover.
Lore:
Legend holds that the Lexicon of the Grasping Aether was last seen in the clutches of an archmage who disappeared, driven mad by the book's whispers. It is rumored that the book itself seeks a new master, someone who will fulfill the dark desires of the liches who created it.
Use in Campaign:
The Lexicon of the Grasping Aether might be sought after by a necromancer seeking to expand their power, or it could serve as the key to unraveling a mystery that revolves around the undead and forbidden magic. The book's potent abilities are balanced by its curses, creating a compelling dynamic for characters who must weigh the cost of wielding such dark power against the benefits it could bestow.
