Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This heavy orb is extremely hot to the touch, but does not burn your hand. The grooves on its surface shift subtly in your grasp, endlessly retracing an arcane pattern.
You can use the burning heart as a spellcasting focus for your spells while holding it, and you gain a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and saving throw DCs of spells that deal fire damage.
Aura of Immolation. As a bonus action while holding the burning heart you can target up to 6 other creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you. The weapons of each target are set ablaze until the end of that target’s next turn. When a target hits with a flaming weapon, it deals an extra 1d4 fire damage. Once this property is used, it cannot be used again until you complete a long rest.
A burning heart is the power core of eternal automata. These orbs grant the ancient constructs a fiery semblance of life while embedded in the chest cavity. The eternal automata were engineered to be indestructible, and will rise again and again until their burning hearts are removed.
