Live Iron

A black acorn. Curiously heavy and slightly warm to the touch.

Provenance:

Initially discovered by Halka Duran during her scholarly travels related to necromantic research. It's a tradition among Halka followers to destroy small, meaningful gifts as a gift to their goddess. Hall, discovering that the locket seemingly destroys whatever it holds, has continually sacrificed small items within it. She knew what the Live Iron did: believing she didn't deserve it, she sacrificed it to her goddess along with a prayer for Halka to protect Oates.

Found by Oates Duran during the Longest Light festival on the edge of the White Sea. It emerged from Oates' Twin Hare Locket, and Oates kept it close by ever since.

Abilities: 

When its bearer takes massive damage in combat (instant death: full HP + remaining damage exceeds HP maximum), upon the bearer's next turn, the Live Iron will sprout into a massive black tree. It'll carry up its bearer, growing into their wounds & filling them with living magic, restoring them to full HP (minus 2 Con forever tho) and giving them a +3 magic implement to boot.
