Hello there fellow ex-DM academy scholars, Just left Reddit for good, so I'm here with a question that wasn't answered in under spez's shadow, so I might try it here if I can.

I would like to know if you know of magical items or spells for 5th or similar that would attract ghosts and other spirits : ghosts, banshees, souls, etc.

I would like to take example from an existing item for what I am preparing in a currently used dungeon that I made.

Thank you in advance, and fuck spez

To me, this sounds like a custom 'minor detrimental property', as seen in the DMG's guidance on creating artifact level magic items, page 220.

You don't really need specificity for this, if you look at the regional effects of a vampire for example, it reads "There is a notable increase in the population of bats, rats and wolves in the region". And that's enough of a prompt to cement that usage.
