Magic Item - Death Beacon

Self-scrubbing for reasons

This does not really sound like a magic item as such. It sounds more like a DM plot device to drive the story of the campaign. As such, balance would be related more to the encounters that arise from the effects of this device and less from the properties of the device itself.

The most straightforward campaign I see is to deal with the undead attracted to the device, find and identify the object causing the undead to congregate, and then git rid of/neutralize/destroy the device.
