Item: Undertaker's Spade
Activate Cast a Spell
Rites of rest are etched deep into the broken-off blade of a deceased gravekeeper's shovel. When used as a catalyst to cast an Impaling Spike spell, the blade disintegrates into dust, mixing with the earth and allowing the spell to damage incorporeal creatures as if it were a weapon imbued with a Ghost Touch property rune. An incorporeal creature can be Immobilized by a spike if it's adjacent to a solid surface when struck; it can attempt to Escape as normal but can't phase through the spike or escape to the Ethereal Plane.
Trait Effects
Catalyst: Items with the catalyst trait are consumables that alter or magnify specific spells. Using a catalyst adds the manipulate trait to the spell. Activating a catalyst is part of Casting the Spell. The catalyst might increase the number of actions required to Cast the Spell, as indicated in the catalyst's Activate entry. You can draw the catalyst as part of Casting the Spell.
Consumable: An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it’s destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. A character can Craft consumable items in batches of four.
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.
