Baillet Bullet Box (Bay-Ey Bullet Box)
Description:
The Baillet Bullet Box is a small box that could be feasibly mistaken for a low quality, poorly maintained metal jewelery box that exudes a constant low lying smell of musk and animals.
The main exterior body of the box is made of a matte brown metal that looks to be constantly slightly dirty, with all of the moving segments such as the clasp and hinge being made of a shiny black metal. The box exudes an air of always being slightly dirty with smudges of unknown origin and small tufts of fur being found lodged in the lid or hinge constantly.
The entirety of the interior of the box is covered in a layer of Maizina causing the interior to glimmer in the charateristic colour of the material that each person has for the mineral.
Attunement Task:
The attuned must place a trophy from four creatures of differing creature types (Humanoid, Beast, Abberation, etc...) that have been slain into the Baillet Bullet Box overnight.
People who have completed the Task:
Trigger
Effect:
Once attuned the user of the Baillet Bullet Box can place up to six pieces of ammunition, and four more trophies from slain creatures into the box.
The user can select which of the creature types is allocated to each of the pieces of ammunition. If the box is left undisturbed over the course of a long rest (i.e. not broken, opened or tampered with.) then by the end of the long rest the trophies have dissapeared and the ammunition is now enchanted.
Ammunition enchanted in this way has the following benefits when used against creatures of the same type as the one selected:
They have an additional +2 on rolls to hit against the creature. They are treated as magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity or resistance. These enchantments last until the Baillet Bullet Box is next used, at which point any already existing enchanted ammunition becomes nonmagical again. Notes: Trophies used for this must come from a fresh creature each time, you cannot keep using bits of the same creature to get the enchantment. The ammunition used for the Baillet Bullet Box doesn't have to be bullets. Arrowheads, crossbow bolts, stones for slings, darts for Blowpipes, etc can be enchanted as well as long as they are small enough to fit inside the box. The only requirement is that they are nonmagical ammunition as the enchantments cannot overlap, however it can coexist with physical alterations such as poisons, douses of Holy Water, incendiary tips, etc.

Mechanics & Inner Workings
The Baillet Bullet Box's inner workings are currently unknown, but the most you can determine is that the box's enchantments use the parts placed inside to enchant the ammunition to be better at taking them out.
Manufacturing process
Due to the strange natural feel of the enchantment that the Baillet Bullet Box has it is currently unknown if it is even possible to reproduce something like this exactly.
History
The Baillet Bullet Box was found inside of the skeletonised remains of a wagon driver who was sitting in the drivers seat of a wagon that was dangling on the side of a large gorge in the Dustlands.
Aside from that the history of this item is currently unknown.

Raw materials & Components
The outside of the box looks to be made of a dull brown metal with moving sections such as hinges and clasps being made of a shiny black metal.
The inside of the box looks to have been given a cover of Maizina as the interior always glimmers with the colour particular to each person.
Tools
The box itself is not out of the reaches of an amateur blacksmith or tinker and as a result with the requisite materials anyone with a forge could make something like this.
