Vial of Shadow Flux

Within the confines of the vial, the darkness churns and writhes like a living thing, its depths unfathomable and impenetrable to the naked eye. It is a darkness unlike any other, deeper and more profound than the absence of light, seeming to swallow all illumination that dares to draw near. The inky substance itself is viscous and opaque, its depths seeming to shift and ripple with unseen currents. It exudes an aura of malevolence, a tangible sense of dread that sends shivers down the spine of any who dare to gaze upon it for too long.
Those who study the vial closely might discern faint whispers emanating from within, the murmurs of shadow creatures trapped in an eternal abyss. They speak in hushed tones of forgotten realms and ancient mysteries, their words echoing through the darkness like distant echoes from another world.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

As an action, you can throw this vial up to 30 feet away where it shatters in a vapor of darkness. The area within a 15 foot radius of where the vial landed becomes pitch black, as if affected by the darkness spell. When consumed, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while in dim light or darkness.
