Web-Spinning Lyre

Wondrous item, rare

This lyre of dark, blood-red wood has a spider motif.

The lyre has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action playing the lyre to expend 1 of its charges to cause shadowy webs to streak from its bowl toward a point within 60 feet of you. Creatures in a 20-foot radius of that point must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. A creature that is immune to being charmed automatically succeeds on this save. A creature that fails its saving throw is incapacitated. At the end of each of the creature’s turns, it can repeat the saving throw; on a success it is no longer incapacitated. A target who fails the second save becomes restrained for 1 minute by spiderwebs. A creature restrained by the webs can use its action, once it is no longer incapacitated, to make a DC 15 Strength check. On a success, it frees itself.

The lyre regains 1 expended charge daily at sunset.

A character who is proficient in the lyre can expend 2 charges instead of 1 when they play it; if you do so, the initial saving throw is made by the targets with disadvantage.
