This fearsome-looking mask of ivory, beaten copper, or pale wood is typically fashioned into the likeness of a human skull with a missing lower jaw, allowing the bottom half of the wearer’s face to remain visible when the mask is worn.

Twice per 24 hours, after it has been worn for at least an hour, the mask can be loosed to fly from the wearer’s face. It travels up to 50 feet away from the wearer and attacks an assigned target. The grinning skull mask makes a Spell (Melee) Attack with +30 against the target. This attack has the magical and necromancy tags but not the death tag. If the attack succeeds, the target must make a DC 40 Fortitude save or take 100 negative damage. If the target succeeds on their saving throw, they nevertheless take half damage. If the damage from this attack reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target dies instantly. After attacking, whether successful or not, the mask flies back to its user. The mask has AC 40, Hardness 20, Toughness 12. A mask of the skull is a legendary item.
