Pharaoh Bindings
Wondrous Item • Uncommon • Requires Attunement
Curse Seal. While wearing these bandages, any curse affecting you becomes immediately suppressed. If you remove the bandages or lose attunement to them (for example, by dying), any curse affecting you will immediately take effect again.
Curse. These bandages are cursed. If a dead Humanoid is wrapped in them, its corpse transforms into a mummy after 3 days, provided the body isn't destroyed, missing its head, or otherwise too severely damaged. A gentle repose spell doesn't prevent a creature from transforming this way. The mummy attacks the closest creature and is otherwise under the GM's control.

- Thematic Achievements. Fulfilling tasks or trials related to the item’s nature.
