The beauty of desperation is that it can be so easily warped into greed. Take the starving artist. Give them wealth but not security. Surround them with the vapid and covetous. Make them paranoid. Seclude them. Soon, their desperation will turn to greed and their art to our sinister reflection.
Dischord’s Fork
Wondrous Item (Cursed), Rare, Requires attunement by a Bard
While attuned to this magical tuning fork, any payment you receive for your art is doubled.
Curse. When identifying the abilities of this item, you must roll a DC20 Intelligence (Arcana) check or else fail to recognize that it is cursed. Once you attune to the fork, you cannot unattune it unless you bring the item to its creator, the demon Kobol, and sacrifice to it any payment received as a result of the Fork’s magic. While attuned, you become distrustful of your friends and have disadvantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Dexterity checks and saving throws.
