How to Use
In order to use a devourer egg, all you have to do is drop the pearl from your hand.
Messaging:
You thumb your black pearl and let it fall.
The pearl cracks open like an egg to disgorge a pool of thin shadows which quickly congeal into an opaque multi-armed devourer.
Notes
You can injure, and eventually kill off a devourer by repeatedly casting Dazzle at it.
If you drop more than one pearl that has been made into a devourer egg, the two devourers will merge into a new, larger devourer. You can do this 12 times before something nasty happens. On the 13th time you drop a devourer egg, your devourer will either explode into nothing, or it will explode and a Shadow Master will form. Good luck fighting the Shadow Master, they have a wide array of powers, including summoning other creatures. They are also immune to normal weapons and most spells. Dazzle is effective on them, doing some small vitality damage. I believe that Burn and Starlight Sphere also work. Shadows and Dinazen Olkar will actually heal them.
