Usage worn mask; Bulk L
This gold-inlaid wooden mask depicts the reptilian visage of a mokele-mbembe, a jungle predator seen by the Mwangi as embodiments of nature's strength and majesty. If you're a Magaambyan who already has a mask, you can use Shadowed Scale, the Jungle Secret in lieu of your own mask for the purposes of mask-related abilities, such as Magic Warrior Dedication. When you wear the mask, you are always concealed while in a jungle.

Activate [one-action] envision; Requirements Your last action was a melee Strike that killed a living creature or destroyed an undead creature; Effect You cause the body to decompose into a pile of fertile soil. The creature's body is completely destroyed at the start of your next turn, and it can only be returned to life with the use of powerful magic such as miracle or wish.

Activate [one-action] Interact; Frequency once per hour; Requirements You are adjacent to the body of a creature you killed that has decomposed into soil; Effect You pull a seed from the mask and throw it into the soil, where it sprouts. You cast summon plant or fungus; the spell is heightened to a level equal to one-half of the slain creature's level, rounded up. When the spell's duration ends, the plant creature returns to the soil, where it roots itself and becomes a non-creature piece of flora.

Destruction If the progenitor of all mokele-mbembes stomps on the mask, it is crushed to splinters.
