Outcast’s Wand

of Life-Stealing
Outcast’s Wand of Life-Stealing
Wondrous item, very rare, (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This wand is constructed of wood and bone, and

you feel slightly fatigued holding it. This wand has 5
charges. While holding it, you can use an action to
expend 1 of its charges to shoot a ray of crackling, black
energy at a creature within 60 feet of you, attempting
to steal some of the years of life from another creature.
The years stolen are from the creature’s expected
lifespan, the target does not appear visibly older, and
notices no ill effect. The target must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or lose a number of years of
life equal to 1d4 + your Constitution modifier. The
saving throw equals 8 minus your Charisma bonus. If
you have a negative Charisma bonus, the DC increases
by the negative number. 
You gain these years of life.
If the target succeeds on its saving throw, you instead
lose years of life as if you had targeted yourself, the
wand devouring them.
The wand regains 1d3 + 1 expended charges daily at
midnight. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a
d20. On a 1, the wand drains you of 20 years of life, and
then it explodes in a burst of crackling, black energy.
