Wondrous Item

Uncommon Abjuration

• Fateful Threads. You can use an Action to open the shears and touch them to a cursed tarfet. When you do, arcane threads appear between the shears' blades. Severing the threads as part of the action casts the "remove curse" spell from the shears. Once you have cast "remove curse" using the shears, they can't be used again until the next dusk.

• Cursed. Whenever the shears are used to cast "remove curse," there's a 50% chance that the shears cast the spell, but impart a new curse on that creature. A creature cursed in this way takes 1d6 slashing damage whenever it fails a saving throw or rolls a natural 1. This slashing damage cannot be reduced in any way. If a creature is reduced to 0 hit points as a result of this slashing damage, a shadow rises from the corpse after 1d4 hours.

These shears feature an ominous, glimmering, agate eye at their hinge. It swivels around, knowingly. The long thin blades, themselves, have three small serations, giving it an appearance somewhat like the beak of a wicked crane.
