This 12-inch mithral tube appears to operate as would a chime of opening, but then all around it are stircken with a cursed need to feed on flesh.
When stuck, the device operates exactly like a chime of opening. But after a number of rings (determined by the GM, or perhaps when needed most), the sound issued forth contains a powerful curse.
Curse of Hunger. [innate; curse] When the chime is sturck, all creatures within 60-ft. (that can hear the chime) must spend all their actions in a lust to consume some sort of flesh. A creature that carries flesh (such as rations containing meat) must drop everything in hand and use all activity to consume the rations. A creature that does not carry flesh of any kind will attack (or move to attack in melee using its most effective melee attack mode) the nearest flesh-based creature in order to kill and eat them. The effects of the chime last for 1 round and offer no save. Thereafter, each round (during the declaration phase) each affected creature must make a Wisdom save vs. Wand or continue their pursuit of flesh (save negates). A remove curse cast on any creature affected will also negate the magic. Creatures affected can leave the area of effect and will still stay under the effects of the curse should they continue to fail the save. Once the chime has sounded it's cursed notes, the creature operating it is considered the host and the curse is a minor curse. Once the curse is removed from the host, the chime becomes mundane.
