Typically, 1d4 + 4 of these beads are found together. You can use an action to throw the bead up to 60 feet. The bead explodes on impact and is destroyed. Each creature within a 10-foot radius of where the bead landed must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 5d4 force damage. A sphere of transparent force then encloses the area for 1 minute. Any creature that failed the saving throw and is completely within the area is trapped inside this sphere. Creatures that succeeded on the saving throw, or are partially within the area, are pushed away from the center of the sphere until they are no longer inside it. --- ## Properties - Action: throw the bead up to 60 feet — **10-ft radius** explosion on impact. - DC 15 Dex save or take **5d4 force damage** and be **trapped in a transparent force sphere** for 1 minute. - Consumable — destroyed on use. - No attunement required.
