Bloodmire Soulflame Lantern

Alter: This iron lantern is surrounded by six glass panels and has a sharp pike in its center where a wick would normally be. When you attune to the lantern, it suddenly springs to life with a crimson flame at the top of the spike, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. The flame is magical and can't be extinguished by any means whiel it burns within the lantern. While the lantern is on your person, you can use a bonus action to mentally expand or reduce the lantern's light, to a maximum of 30 feet each or a minimum of 10 feet each. As part of this bonus action, you can also cause the lantern's glass panels to magically turn black or clear, allowing you to choose whether the lantern's light is shed in a radius, a cone, or entirely hidden by a darkened glass.

While the lantern is on your person, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on Perception checks that rely on sight.
• You have resistance to nercrotic damage and are immune to disease.
• When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can use your reaction to spend one hit die to heal yourself. Roll the die and regain a number of hit points equal to the total. This property can't be used again for 1d12 hours.
• When a creature within the lantern's light (incuding you) reduces a living target to 0 hit points, that creature gains 1d8 temporary hit points.
• You can see anything within the lantern's bright light as if you had truesight.
• Any fiend or undead creature within the lanter's bright light doesnt gain the benefits of damage resistances it may have, and if it has an ability that would normally take effect when the creature is reduced to 0 hit points, it doesn't.

Attunement: Yes, Cursed.
Curse: This lantern is cursed, and attuning to it extend the curse to you. You remain cursed as long as you remain attuned to the lantern, which can only be ended with a wish spell, or by the touch of a powerful fey creature. Even if you die, your attunement to the lantern doesn't end until 7 days have passed.
As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the lantern, keeping it within reach at all times. In addition, you must continuously feed the lantern's flame using your own vitality. Whenever you gain or spend any number of hit die, you must also sacrifice one hit die to the lantern (if you have any). Alternatively, you can use an action to open the lantern's door and hold your hand over the flame, sacrificing one of your hit dice when you do. If the lantern isn't given any hit die for 24 hours, you die, and the flame goes out until the lantern is attuned to by another creature or you return to life while still attuned to it.
