Hello there fellow ex-DM academy scholars, Just left Reddit for good, so I'm here with a question that wasn't answered in under spez's shadow, so I might try it here if I can.

I would like to know if you know of magical items or spells for 5th or similar that would attract ghosts and other spirits : ghosts, banshees, souls, etc.

I would like to take example from an existing item for what I am preparing in a currently used dungeon that I made.

Thank you in advance, and fuck spez

If you want to model it after an existing item with mechanics, you could create an undead version of the Orb of Dragonkind from Dragonlance. Here is it's Call Dragons ability:

While you control the orb, you can use an action to cause the artifact to issue a telepathic call that extends in all directions for 40 miles. Evil dragons in range feel compelled to come to the orb as soon as possible by the most direct route. Dragon deities such as Tiamat are unaffected by this call. Dragons drawn to the orb might be hostile toward you for compelling them against their will. Once you have used this property, it can't be used again for 1 hour.

That could be a good inspiration indeed. Thank you
