Mycelial Cloak

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This hearty-scented cape is knitted from microscopic threads of autumn-hued mycelia. With alarming rapidity the hyphae can drain a corpse, leaving it an emaciated husk and leaving its wearer in robust, good health.

Detritvore. As a bonus action you can target one Small or larger corpse or one small or larger creature with 0 hit points you can see within 15 feet of you, causing your mycelia to burrow over to it and rapidly drain it of nutrients. If the target is alive it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or fail a death saving throw. Undead have disadvantageon this saving throw. On a failure, or if the target is a corpse, you regain 6d6 hit points. After you activate this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Mycelial Deconstruction. As an action you can wrap the cloak around yourself, causing your body and all the items you are wearing or holding to dissolve into thousands of mycelial threads. You gain a burrowing speed equal to your walking speed, you can burrow through nonmagical unworked earth and stone, and you don’t disturb the material you move through.

You can reform in an unoccupied space as an action. While in this form you can pass through any microscopic gap large enough for a fungal hypha; have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage; and can’t talk, manipulate objects, cast spells, or attack. After you activate this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
