Item: Banner of Piercing Shards
This magical banner has an intricately embroidered pattern of shards and cracks across its surface, almost like a broken mirror. Though it always feels dry to the touch, this banner from a distance gleams red as if slightly stained with the blood of your enemies. While holding a banner of piercing shards, you can use the following ability.
Activate—Shards Seek Wounds 1 (concentrate)
Frequency once per minute
Effect Shards of sharpened glass violently shoot out from the magical banner into the newly opened wounds of a nearby enemy. The magical banner deals 1d4 persistent bleed damage to any enemy within the banner's aura that has been dealt damage since the end of your last turn.
Trait Effects

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
