Lost Era Emanator

Lost Era Emanator
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
-
This ancient device is fueled by a mysterious power source. It hums to life and glows softly when held. The device’s arcane design is nearly inscrutable and requires careful examination to decipher its function. In order to attune to the device, you must first succeed on a DC 16 Arcana check, otherwise the attunement fails and you cannot attempt it again for 24 hours.
-
The device has 12 charges. While holding it, you can use the attack action to emit a ray of concentrated heat from the device, expending 1 charge for each attack. The device functions as a ranged weapon with the ammunition and two-handed properties, a normal range of 60 feet, and a long range of 240 feet. While you are attuned to it, you can add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls with the device. Additionally, when you attack with the device, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Dexterity, for the attack rolls. The device deals 3d8 fire damage (this damage does not benefit from ability score modifiers) to any target it hits.
-
As an action, you can expend 3 charges to fire a supercharged ray from the device. The ray is 90 feet long and 6 inches wide. Any creature within this area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw and take 8d8 fire damage on a failure, or half damage on a success. This ray is able to penetrate through 1 inch of metal, 6 inches of stone, or 1 foot of wood, leaving a scorched hole 6 inches in diameter.
-
The device regains charges by storing arcane energy. Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 6th level into the device by touching it as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the device. If the device can't hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The device regains 1 charge for each level of spell slot used.

Orville examined the strange device that he had just unearthed. It gleamed and glinted in the torchlight, despite its apparent age, and the craftsmanship was like nothing he had ever seen. He traced his finger along the intricate grooves and amber-like appendages, daydreaming about the people who could have crafted such a curious contraption.
