Mirror of Life Trapping

"It's quite... capturing... in its beauty." - from the annals of time. 

Mechanics & Inner Workings




Wondrous Item, very rare When this 4-foot-tall mirror is viewed indirectly, its surface shows faint images of creatures. The mirror weighs 50 pounds, and it has AC 11, 10 hit points, and vulnerability to bludgeoning damage. It shatters and is destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points.     If the mirror is hanging on a vertical surface and you are within 5 feet of it, you can use an action to speak its command word and activate it. It remains activated until you use an action to speak the command word again.   Any creature other than you that sees its reflection in the activated mirror while within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be trapped, along with anything it is wearing or carrying, in one of the mirror's twelve extradimensional cells. This saving throw is made with advantage if the creature knows the mirror's nature, and constructs succeed on the saving throw automatically.   An extradimensional cell is an infinite expanse filled with thick fog that reduces visibility to 10 feet. Creatures trapped in the mirror's cells don't age, and they don't need to eat, drink, or sleep. A creature trapped within a cell can escape using magic that permits planar travel. Otherwise, the creature is confined to the cell until freed.   If the mirror traps a creature but its twelve extradimensional cells are already occupied, the mirror frees one trapped creature at random to accommodate the new prisoner. A freed creature appears in an unoccupied space within sight of the mirror but facing away from it. If the mirror is shattered, all creatures it contains are freed and appear in unoccupied spaces near it.   While within 5 feet of the mirror, you can use an action to speak the name of one creature trapped in it or call out a particular cell by number. The creature named or contained in the named cell appears as an image on the mirror's surface. You and the creature can then communicate normally.   In a similar way, you can use an action to speak a second command word and free one creature trapped in the mirror. The freed creature appears, along with its possessions, in the unoccupied space nearest to the mirror and facing away from it.   Notes: Control, Utility   The Dark Ones determines that you can, in fact, trick the mirror into trapping an inanimate object within the mirror (or give to a currently visible occupant) by place an eye from a humanoid on it within view of the mirror.

Significance

This mirror was found by the Dark Ones in the den of Scythetooth, a black dragon who was worshiped by the Val'Kai. They took it with them and it current resides on the ship Der Saerpy.   Dag Wood got stuck inside when he tried to find Talyrr within. Because Talyrr was inside the mirror and she was the only to be attuned, the Dark Ones had no way of getting him out short of destroying the mirror itself.
