Wondrous item, rare

These honey-yellow candies come in a long, snakelike pouch. The pouch has 1d6 + 4 candies in it when found. You can use a bonus action to put one or more candies from the pouch into your mouth, which don't dissolve by normal means. Instead, they magically dissolve when you use an action to attempt to vocally compel another creature to do something, provided that the candies are in your mouth. When this happens, the candies melt and coat your tongue in a sweet and spicy syrup, honeying your words with magic and casting the suggestion spell. The save DC for the spell is based on the number of candies dissolved: one candy (DC 13), two candies (DC 15), or three or more candies (DC 17).

After the suggestion is made, as part of the spell, the syrup is ingested. When this happens, you take 2d4 poison damage for each candy that dissolved after the first. This damage doesn't force you to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration on the spell, and it can't be reduced or prevented in any way. If you take 10 or more poison damage in this way, you also become poisoned for 1 minute.

Some people say I've got a silver tongue. Others know the venomous truth.
