Mummified Hag Hand

wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This wand is made from the mummified hand of a green hag, which once had long nails and was covered in warts.

Attunement

To attune to the wand, you can follow the standard rules for attuning to a magic item. Alternatively, you can cut off your hand and fuse the mummified hag hand with your arm. Doing so allows you to use the wand without attunement, and it functions as a normal hand. However, this procedure comes with a cost. You gain a character flaw that reflects the hag’s nature. The flaw is determined by your DM, or by rolling on the table below:

d6	Flaw
1	Compulsive Bargainer: You have a compulsion to bargain with others, even when it’s not in your best interest. You might offer deals that are too good to be true, or you might try to negotiate for things that you don’t really need.
2	Deceptive: You have a tendency to deceive others, whether it’s for your own gain or just for fun. You might tell lies or half-truths, or you might use illusions to trick people.
3	Obsessive Collector: You have an obsession with collecting things, especially items that have sentimental or magical value. You might hoard objects that remind you of your past, or you might seek out rare and exotic artifacts.
4	Sadistic: You take pleasure in causing pain and suffering to others, whether it’s physical or emotional. You might enjoy torturing your enemies, or you might manipulate people into hurting themselves.
5	Vengeful: You hold grudges and seek revenge against those who have wronged you. You might go to great lengths to get even with your enemies, even if it means putting yourself in danger.
6	Wishful Thinker: You have a tendency to believe in things that aren’t real, whether it’s superstitions, legends, or your own delusions. You might see omens in everyday events, or you might believe that you have magical powers that you don’t actually possess.

Lore

According to legend, the mummified hag’s hand wand was created by a powerful necromancer who sought to harness the dark power of the hags. The necromancer was known for his mastery of dark magic and his ability to control the undead, and he was feared by many who knew of his power.

One day, the necromancer encountered a powerful hag who had long been a thorn in his side. The hag was known for her mastery of dark magic and her ability to control the creatures of the night, and she was feared by many who knew of her power.
In a fierce battle, the necromancer was able to defeat the hag and cut off her hand, which he believed contained some of her dark power. He took the hand back to his laboratory and began experimenting with it, hoping to unlock its secrets and harness its power for his own purposes.
After many years of research and experimentation, the necromancer was finally able to transform the mummified hand into a powerful magical artifact. He imbued the hand with his own dark magic and bound it to his will, creating the mummified hag’s hand wand.
As the years went by, the necromancer became increasingly obsessed with the wand and the power it gave him. He began to experiment with dark magic more and more, pushing the limits of what was possible and delving deeper into the forbidden arts.
Eventually, the necromancer became so consumed by his obsession that he cut off his own hand and replaced it with the mummified hag’s hand, hoping to gain even more power and control. The transformation was successful, but it came at a terrible cost. The necromancer was forever changed by the dark magic of the wand, and he became a twisted and malevolent creature, feared by all who knew of him.
Despite the necromancer’s transformation, the legend of the mummified hag’s hand wand lived on, and many adventurers and treasure hunters have sought to uncover its secrets and claim its power for themselves. Some say that the wand still exists, hidden away in a forgotten corner of the world, waiting for a new owner to claim its power and unleash its dark magic upon the world once more.
