Fossil Fragment (Petrified Wood)
A sliver of petrified wood springs to life as a rooted, obedient tree that can fling seeds to sprout copies nearby.
A fossil fragment is a piece of a fossil creature, typically a smaller bone from a larger specimen.
If the fragment is slain while in creature form, it reverts to its fragment shape and can't be activated again for 1 week. If the fragment is destroyed, its magic is lost.
This colorful sliver of petrified wood becomes an Awakened Tree when activated. It doesn't have the normal weaknesses of an awakened tree, but it's rooted in place, Immobilized. As a single action, it can throw a petrified seed, such as a stone pine cone or acorn, up to 60 feet. A copy of the tree appears there, provided there's an unoccupied space large enough for it. While two trees exist, if either tree throws another seed, one of the existing trees disappears, replaced by the new tree. The tree can be called upon once per day for up to 1 minute. This duration starts when you activate the item, and all trees disappear when it ends.
