Curse Box
Wondrous item, uncommon
This steel box is engraved with decaying roses and can contain a single curse. Its lid is stuck open while it isn’t containing a curse and shut when it contains a curse. While holding the open box, you can transfer one curse affecting you from yourself into the box, ending the curse’s effects on you and closing the lid.
If you open the closed box, you must attempt the same saving throw with the same DC of the original casting of the curse contained in the box. On a failure, you are affected by the curse for its entire original duration.

This steel box is engraved with decaying roses. When its lid is open, you can’t close it except by activating its Contain Curse ability. When the lid is closed, a curse is contained inside and will befall whoever opens it. The Identify Magic activity can determine that a closed box has a curse inside, but the magic of the box prevents identifying the curse within. Opening the box with an Interact action activates its Release Curse ability.
Activate—Contain Curse [two-actions] (concentrate, manipulate) Requirements The box’s lid is open; Effects You attempt to counteract a curse on you with a +2 item bonus to your check. If you successfully counteract the curse, the curse is removed from you and contained inside the box instead, causing the box’s lid to seal shut.
Activate—Release Curse [one-action] (manipulate) Requirements The box’s lid is closed with a curse contained inside; Effects You release the contained curse and must attempt a save against it with a –2 item penalty on the save. If you critically fail the save, the curse also befalls all creatures adjacent to you, requiring they attempt a save with a –1 item penalty.
