Medallion of Gomorrah

Wondrous item (cursed), rare (requires attunement)

Although the actual location of the city has been lost to history, a small piece of stone from the infamous city of Gomorrah was preserved inside of this medallion. According to legend, anyone who looks at the stone directly will suffer the same fate as Lot's unfortunate wife.

As a Magic action, you may open the small door in the front of the medallion, revealing the stone of Gomorrah to a creature within 60 feet. If the creature can see you, it must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it becomes restrained as its body begins to slowly turn to salt. On a successful save it is unaffected.

A creature that is restrained by the effects of the medallion must repeat the saving throw at the beginning of each of its turns. If it saves three times, the effect ends and its body returns to normal. If it fails three times, it is transformed into a pillar of salt permanently. The successes and failures do not need to be consecutive.

Once the medallion has been used in this way, it may not be used again until the following day at dawn.

Curse. The stone that resides in this medallion is cursed, and attuning to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed you are unwilling to part with the medallion, wearing it at all times. You also start to have dreams of a city you have never visited and feel strangely homesick, as though this city is your true home. Your obsession with this city begins to affect your focus, and you have disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
