Everburning Brazier

Woundrous Item, rare


When this brass brazier (which is always hot to the touch)
is used as part of casting Find Familiar (PHB Page 240), and
while expending a spellslot and material components to do so
as normal, the caster may summon a number of Familiars up
to their Spellcasting Ability Modifier (minimum 1); each take
(and remain in) the form a Raven (PHB Page 309).
In combat, the familiars always take the same action and
share an initiative- although they each have their own
reaction and can move seperately. Any [touch range] cantrip
cast through them is cast through every familiar but as if cast
by a 1st level character with your Spell Attack Modifier
and Spell Save DC, however any [touch range] non-cantrip
must be focused through an individual familiar and a creature
can only be affected by the same spell once (as per the usual
spellcasting rules; although the length of many spells are Credit: "The Magic Circle" -John William Waterhouse (1886)
"Instaneous", the casting through the familiar is [Public domain]
"Simultaneous", so only one Shocking Grasp can hit a single
target for example).
For each Familiar summoned beyond the first, and
whenever a Familiar is destroyed, the caster must make a
Spellcasting Ability Saving Throw with a DC=10+[Number of
remaining familiars] or the familiars break from the caster's
conscious control of them and turn into Crowlocks, each
intent on destroying the caster by whatever means necessary
and always capable of telling the direction to the caster while
they are on the same plane of existence. They might flee then
stalk the caster and their party until a moment of exhaustion
or weakness, or simply turn on the caster and their allies in Credit: https://www.freevector.com/raven, Creative Commons

control. If the caster's attunement is broken this saving throw background
is automatically failed. If the caster becomes unconscious, the
familiars flock to their body but otherwise drop out of the
initiative order, and the caster must make any further saves at
disadvantage until regaining consciousness.
All Crowlocks on a plane are loosely allied together, each
joining up with newer groups of Crowlocks as their former
masters are killed, although only the Crowlocks summoned
by a caster know the direction to them. They covet
Everburning Braziers, using them to summon forth more
Crowlocks (each brazier can summon one Crowlock per day
when used in this way by another Crowlock) and therefore
these items often have a bloody past, although Crowlocks will
not attempt to take the item from someone who has not
attuned to it and created Crowlocks.
