this is just an item i was inspired by Kung Fu Panda for. any thoughts or critiques are greatly appreciated
### Shan Hao's Army
*Wondrous item, Unique*
This incredibly fragile jar is ornately decorated with jade and gold filigree depicting a glorious battle.
"Be warned of a warrior's wrath."
This stoppered jar contains the souls of the 1000 warriors of Shan Hao's army.
You may remove the stopper from the jar and take a sip, consuming some of the souls. Roll 1d8 and refer to the first table below. This jar may be used in this way up to 30 times. The effects gained this way last for 24 hours.
Alternatively, you may consume the remaining souls all at once. Refer to the second table below. These effects are permanent. You roll each of the saves in order up to the applicable value. The negative effects for failing any of the saves can only be fixed by divine intervention. A cleric's Divine Intervention ability can only fix one such negative effect at a time.
If this jar is broken, the creature responsible for it breaking, if there is one, becomes cursed. While cursed this way at the end of each long rest 4d4 spirit berserkers (Monster Manual pg. 344) will appear to fight the cursed creature. If any creature other than the cursed creature helps it fight these berserkers, 1d4 additional berserkers appear for each assisting creature. This curse is only lifted once the cursed creature lands the killing blow on 1000 berserkers. (Throwing the jar and smashing it on another creature is the same as you breaking it, not the creature it broke upon.)
