You can’t tell what this is, but even though it was wrapped up by the Hive and sealed with malignancy, you feel the itch of an urge to open it.

Rare artifact, grade varies (consumable)

An indistinct bundle, wrapped in tattered Hive silk and bound with cords.

Sealed with a Curse

You wrap an item in three layers of Hive silk. For every layer a creature other than yourself unwraps, it gains one passive failed death/RTL saving throw that cannot be removed until it completes a long rest in a Light Zone, and it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is also compelled to continue unwrapping the object. 

You can always safely unwrap the item yourself. The silk remains if you’re the one to unwrap it, and you can use the silk to wrap an item again.

If a creature other than yourself unwraps all three silk layers, the silk immediately decomposes to reveal the object underneath. 

The grade of this artifact is equal to the grade of the item it is wrapped around.
