Talisman of the Undead

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This ivory talisman with a death’s head design has 3 charges. It has the following functions. Where applicable, each uses a 4th level spell slot:

The talisman attracts and angers undead. Whenever a cleric possessing this talisman attempts to use channel divinity to turn or command undead, all non-intelligent undead gain advantage on their saving throws. Those that succeed on their save will attack the wearer to the exclusion of all other targets. Intelligent undead gain advantage on saves, but are not compelled to attack the wearer to the exclusion of others. The talisman regains 1d4-1 charges at midnight every night. If the talisman’s final charge is ever used, roll a d10. On a result of 1-4, the talisman explodes, dealing 4d6 necrotic damage to every creature in a 30 ft. radius.
