WITCH BOTTLE
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a
spellcaster)

A witch bottle protects against the curses and

hexes of malevolent spellcasters. You fill the
bottle with a few strands of your hair, some
clippings of your nails, and some of your urine.
You then bury or hide the bottle in a secret
location. The bottle attracts and contains any
negative spell energy directed toward you. As
long as the bottle remains unseen by you, you
are immune to all curses, hexes, and harmful
fate altering spells such as bestow curse, bane,
misfortune, and the witch’s hex ability. The
harmful spell energy is drawn into the bottle
and contained until it fades.

If you ever see the witch bottle after hiding

it, your attunement with it breaks and the
effect ends. You must re-attune to the bottle
and hide it again to reactivate its power.
