Cain was a little-known battlemage under the employ of a small but ambitious kingdom. Rather than risk an assault on a well-fortified enemy position, he ordered his men to load their catapults with gold ingots enchanted with this spell. Within hours, the city’s garrison were tearing themselves apart in order to obtain the bullion. Cain’s battalion soon entered the city unopposed, but under strict orders to leave the makeshift ammunition where it lay.

The caster of this spell designates an object within range, to which creatures in the immediate vicinity become magically attracted. In order for a creature to be affected by this spell, the item must be of a sufficiently small size that they can pick it up with reasonable ease (for the purposes of this spell, such an item is generally three size categories smaller than the creature, so a Medium-sized being can be affected if the ensorcelled object is of Tiny size or smaller).

Such creatures within 30 feet must make a Will save or be fascinated by the object in question, walking towards it and attempting to pick it up when they reach it. Once a creature is in possession of the object, all others within the area of effect must make another Will save to avoid becoming hostile towards that creature, seeking to take the object by lethal force.

Cain’s curse of covetousness can be made permanent via the permanency spell. When the spell is permanent, a creature that saves successfully against either effect is immune to both for 1 hour.
