This delicate wine jug, decorated with strange images of empty-eyed warriors, has the unusual property of attracting spirits to it. To activate the amphora of souls, the bearer must fill it with a mixture of wine and fresh blood, and leave it uncorked so that the aroma can escape. For the next hour, any spirit or incorporeal undead who passes within thirty feet of the amphora must make a Will save, DC 18, or become fascinated by the amphora. This is not considered a mind-affecting effect for purposes of undead immunities. Once the hour has passed, the amphora must be emptied and cleaned before it can be refilled and used again.

An amphora of souls cannot be activated more than once in any twenty-four hour period.
