Description
Used as a magical focus of the more humanoid-esque, 'customer-facing' hyphan colonists, sporespreaders are enchanted to facilitate the calming and assimilation of would-be interlopers. The magic in these foci can poison foes with infectious spores or generate obscuring thick black clouds to allow their wielders to flee dangerous situations. This focus has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. While holding the sporespreader, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spellcasting ability: enrage (3 charges), mortiferous pulse (2 charges), calm emotions (2 charges) and charm person (1 charge). You can also cast the spore cloud* and smokescreen* cantrips from the focus without using any charges.
Versatile: This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.
Arcane Focus: An arcane focus is a special item designed to channel the power of arcane spells. A sorcerer, warlock, or wizard can use such an item as a spellcasting focus.
