An Undead appears shrouded in arcane darkness and asks if it has a target to torment or if it is to merely be a guard.

Torment Target: If you give it the given name, personal item, or piece of a specific target such as blood, a strand of hair, or bit of saliva the Undead silently slips away and linger around the target for 12 hours allowing their supernatural presence to seep into the area. During that time food and non magical plants around the target rot and water becomes stagnant and murky after being within 5 ft of the target for 10 minutes. Beasts feel uneasy and the target has disadvantage on Animal Handling checks and Beasts do not wish to willingly come within 10 ft of the target.
