In March, 2019 the community of r/DnDBehindtheScreen came together to build up a list of magical treasures to supplement the treasure found in the Dungeon Master's Guide. These treasures were built with 5e in mind, but were not reviewed for balance. We hope that you find this list of unique items useful for your games.

Ammunition
Arrows, bolts and bullets. Most of these are intended as singular-use items to be fired as projectiles from a bow, crossbow, steampunk gun, or whatever other kind of projectile hurling device you can think of.
Arrow of Knight
Ammunition, artifact (requires attunement)
This bronze arrow with white fletching is too long and a little too heavy to be fired accurately with a shortbow. To fire this arrow, you must be wielding a longbow or heavy crossbow, and succeed on a DC 10 Strength check to string it. You have disadvantage on attack rolls to fire the arrow. On a hit, the target takes 2d10 piercing damage plus 2d10 radiant damage. A creature slain with the Arrow of Knight cannot be raised as an undead.
Whether the arrow hits or misses, it summons a celestial knight in shining armor to your aid next to your target and you are no longer attuned to the arrow. The knight has statistics equivalent to the knight NPC, but it is a celestial, its attacks deal an extra +1d6 radiant damage, and it is immune to all attacks by nonmagical weapons. The knight persists for 1 hour, or until it is dismissed as an action by you. The celestial knight acts on its own, defending you against creatures that mean you harm. However, the knight does not obey your commands. This arrow cannot be broken, but it can only be fired if you are attuned to it.
To attune to the Arrow of Knight, you must hold it in your hands and recite the Knight's Prayer at dawn.
The first recorded appearance of the Arrow of Knight was in the defense of the city of St. Anglos against northern invaders during the Second Age. A scholar of the southron faith has written a treatise laying out the case that the summoned knight is actually the spirit of St. Anglos himself. A more popular tale suggests that St. Anglos bound the soul of a vanquished foe to a simple arrow, and left it with the Duke of the city to be used in its defense during his absence.
by u/OrkishBlade
Arrow of Missile Attraction
Ammunition, rare
When you hit a creature with this magical arrow they are cursed for 1 minute, or until they are targeted by the remove curse spell. Whenever a ranged weapon attack is made against a target within 20 feet of the cursed creature, the curse has a 30% chance to cause it to become the target instead. Once it hits a target, the ammunition is no longer magical.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Arrow of Night
Ammunition, rare
These silver-tipped arrows fletched with owl feathers make no sound upon impact. Instead, when they strike flesh, armor, or stone, their tip bursts in a sphere of darkness as if by the spell.
If collected after a battle, there is a 20% chance that the arrow will still be intact and function if re-tipped with silver. To re-tip the arrow, one must melt 10 silver pieces in an iron cup beneath a new moon and dip the arrow in the molten silver.
A well-known tale speaks of Midora the Silent Terror and her brethren of shadow monks using dozens of Arrows of Night to infiltrate and escape from the palace of the Dragon-Emperor on the night the imperial family was assassinated.
by u/OrkishBlade
Blessed Arrow
Ammunition, uncommon
When you hit a target with this arrow, it is outlined in brilliant white light as if by the faerie fire spell for the next 1 minutes. A creature who is vulnerable to radiant damage takes an extra 1d4 radiant damage when hit by this arrow.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Deadweight Arrow
Ammunition, uncommon
When you hit a creature or object, the target's weight magically increases by 50 lbs (22.5 kg) for 3 hours.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Dynamic Ammunition
Ammunition, uncommon
Dynamic ammunition is an enchantment placed on any projectile. Looking closely, one can see finely carved script in glowing turquoise runes. After firing the ammunition, you can speak the command word to cause the projectile to double in size, dealing an extra 1d4 weapon damage. Once it hits a target, the ammunition is no longer magical.
Invented by gnomes, under the rousing inspirational phrase of "Bigger is always better!" After countless setbacks and several injury reports, the Trans-planar Inter-dimensional Association of Brilliant Minded Gnomes (TIABMG for short) are proud to release their newest product!
by u/Notorious_Bear_
Eros' Arrow
Ammunition, very rare
This arrow deals no damage, instead you have advantage on all Charisma skill checks for 24 hours when interacting with a humanoid that is hit by this arrow, so long as it has an Intelligence of 4 or higher. This arrow dissolves after making contact with the target or an object, leaving only a faint trace of floral scent. This arrow can affect humanoids who are resistant or immune to charm effects.
by u/PantherophisNiger
Cupid's Arrow
Ammunition, rare
When you hit a humanoid with an Intelligence of 4 or higher with this arrow, they must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you have advantage on all Charisma skill checks for 24 hours against the target. This arrow dissolves after making contact with the target or an object, leaving only a faint trace of floral scent. This arrow can affect humanoids who are resistant or immune to charm effects.
by u/Amellwind
Evertrue Arrow
Ammunition, very rare
If you miss an attack roll with this arrow, it flies 15 feet past the target and begins to hover 3 feet off the ground. At the start of your next turn, the arrow moves 15 feet in a random direction. If it passes through a creature's space, roll an attack roll against that creature. The arrow stops if it hits a creature or object.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Moss Arrow
Ammunition, common
When this arrow hits a point on a surface, creeping moss spreads rapidly in a 10-foot radius around it. A creature that walks or climbs on the moss has advantage on stealth checks to remain silent.
After 24 hours, the conjured moss wilts away.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Needle of Subtlety
Ammunition, uncommon
These specialty crafted blowgun needles are made for supreme stealth. A creature hit by one of these blowgun needles must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they do not realize they have been hit. The needle immediately vanishes after imparting its effects.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Paint Ball
Ammunition, common
These orbs are made of hard orange wax and contain a fantastical mixture of pigments inside. Upon impact, the ball bursts, creating any two-dimensional image the user wishes smaller than 5ft square feet. The image can only be destroyed by magical means, or when it fades away on its own after 1 hour.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Phoenix Arrow
Ammunition, rare
An enchanted arrow made with Phoenix feather fletching. It is magically bound to a small quiver.
This arrow deals its weapon damage as force damage and deals an extra 1d4 force damage. Upon impact, the arrow catches fire, and is consumed by the flames at the beginning of your next turn. The arrow's flames do not create heat, do not consume oxygen, and cannot be smothered or quenched. When the arrow is destroyed, it immediately reappears in the container it was magically bound to. If the arrow is somehow set ablaze before firing, it begins the magical process early, immediately reappearing in the bound quiver. After being lit on fire, the maximum firing range is halved.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Pulling Arrow
Ammunition, rare
This arrow can pull up to 300lbs of weight attached to the arrow for 1d100 feet.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Rope Arrow
Ammunition, uncommon
This arrow is exceptionally sharp, with small notches for impaling itself on hard surfaces. When fired, it releases 25 feet of hempen rope behind it.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Runic Arrows
Ammunition, rare
Found as a set. Each arrow is marked and is a one-use item. An arrow that requires a saving throw has a spell save DC of 16.
Runic Angry Weasel-Arrow
Transforms into a very upset weasel within one foot of the point of impact. The weasel (DMG p.340) is friendly to you, acts on your turn, and remains for three minutes before vanishing.
Runic Anvil-arrow
The arrow transforms into a 50 lb. anvil within 1-foot of the point of impact. On hit, it deals 2d6 bludgeoning damage and Huge or smaller creatures must make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.
Runic Boxing-glove-arrow
The arrowhead transforms into a weighted boxing glove when it is within 1-foot of target. On hit, it deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage plus your Strength modifier.
Runic Disco-arrow
This arrow casts the dancing lights cantrip at the point of impact.
Runic Fishing-arrow
Sometimes sold in batches due to the sheer number of rangers and other outdoorsmen who find these incredibly handy. This arrow is attached to a reel in your quiver by a thin string. After this arrow hits a creature or object, the quiver automatically reels in the arrow, returning it to the quiver.
Runic Flare-arrow
When fired, this arrow sheds light as if by the sunlight spell was cast upon it. Light dims and vanishes after 1d4 turns.
Runic Freeze-arrow
This arrow casts the chill touch cantrip at the point of impact.
Runic Grapnel-arrow
This arrow cannot be fired more than 120 feet away from you. When fired, it releases a hempen rope behind it. Upon impact, the arrowhead expands into a grappling hook.
Runic Net-arrow
The arrowhead transforms into a large 10-foot wide by 10-feet long weighted net, centered on the target. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw or become restrained by the net.
Runic PBJ-arrow
Maker of the arrows was hungry and misplaced their sandwich. Lucky you - you found it.
Runic Shock-arrow
This arrow casts the shocking grasp cantrip at the point of impact.
Runic Smoke-arrow
This arrow casts the fog cloud cantrip at the point of impact.
Runic Sparkly Pink-arrow
Caused by mistakes when making a flare arrow. This arrow leaves a sparkly pink trail in the air until the start of your next turn. When it hits a solid object, it explodes into a cloud of pink dust and does absolutely no damage except possibly to the attacker's reputation.
Other such Runic Arrows exist, but must be found or researched.
by u/greyff
Scrying Arrow
Ammunition, legendary
Immediately after a scrying spell cast by you ends, you can fire this arrow in a random direction. The arrow vanishes from sight 10 feet away from you and reappears at the start of your next turn, make a ranged weapon attack against the target of the scrying spell, as the arrow reappears near it.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Damage rolls made with this ammunition deal thunder damage instead of piercing damage.
Alternatively, while outdoors, you can use a bow to fire this arrow into the sky as an action, causing storm clouds to rapidly form. After 12 seconds, these clouds release a torrential downpour of rain lasting for 1d4*10 minutes. The arrow is consumed when used in this way. At any time during the storm’s duration, you can cause a target you can see within 150 feet to be struck by a bolt of lightning, dealing 2d6 lightning damage. This effect can be invoked once per arrow expended.

Time's Arrow
Ammunition, legendary
As an action, you can fire this arrow from a bow. At any point in its flight, you can speak its command word to cause time to halt in a ten-foot radius sphere around it. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is incapacitated, their speed is reduced to 0, and they cannot be damaged or affected by any additional effects. Objects and projectiles, including time’s arrow, in this area become immovable, and cannot be damaged or targeted by any additional effects. Creatures, objects and projectiles entering this area for the first time become subject to these effects. The arrow’s effect lasts until you choose to end it as a bonus action or until dispelled (DC 22). When the effect ends, the arrow becomes nonmagical.
"Feim". Deep in the desert sands, a mortal warrior and a demon stand frozen, locked in combat. The demon reaches out as though to guard itself against the arrow; the mortal's expression is one of triumph.

Umbral Arrow
Ammunition, very rare
This arrow has been exposed to the nether border between our world and the Shadowfell for many harsh weeks. As a result, it deals force damage instead of piercing as it is not entirely corporeal. When you fire this arrow, you can attack a number of targets in a straight line equal to your proficiency modifier. You ignore up to 1 total foot of cover between each target before it is stopped, but the attack only deals half damage. Each target's AC is treated as 10 for this attack unless it was already lower.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Vampire Arrow
Ammunition, uncommon
An arrow made from bone covered in dozens of tiny holes near its tip. On a hit, the arrow begins draining blood from the target’s body out the tail of the arrow, causing it to take 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of the target’s turn until the arrow is removed. If the target has no blood or similar essential body fluid, such as a zombie or earth elemental, this effect is negated.
by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount
Venom Bolt
Ammunition, uncommon
This crossbow bolt is more akin to a vial of poison than a typical bolt, tipped with fogged glass. When this arrow hits a solid object, it releases a cloud of poisonous vapor in a 10-foot-radius sphere. The cloud spreads around corners and lightly obscures any area it occupies. The cloud lingers in the air for 2d4 rounds, and deals 1d8 poison damage to anything that starts its turn in the cloud or enters its space for the first time on a turn. Other poison types & potencies are known, and will affect the cost & cloud's properties.

Fey, Fiends, and Undead cannot cross the line, and creatures who enter or start their turn within the affected area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes Xd4 radiant damage, where X is your Wisdom modifier.
Special Attunement. To attune to these boots, you must wear them while on a spirit walk. There are three separate trials; you must pass each one in order to attune to the boots. Your DM can use discretion to decide which trial you will perform, how it is initiated and when to allow a second attempt after a failure.
Path of the Beast. A hulking form lies half hidden by foliage. One bright yellow eye glares, the other bloodied and closed. A mortally wounded owlbear growls a warning to you. The beast's wounds will slowly fester and surely kill it. DC 14 Animal Handling (Wisdom) to approach the owlbear safely, and cleanse its wounds. On failure, the owlbear attacks and initiative is rolled. The owlbear has 1 HP and 2 failed death saves at the start of combat.
Path of Truth. Two paths lie before the character, each beckoning to be walked. Does the darkness conceal a deeper truth? Is the light deceptive, blinding us to treachery? DC 17 Religion (Wisdom)
Path of the Wind. The wind swirls around you, whispering words not heard but felt in your soul. Moderate Insight (Wisdom) check, on success you close your eyes, and wander into a peaceful trance. You awaken 2d6 hours later, deep within the forest. On failure, the wind deceives you, and guides you face-first into a tree.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil.

Gordirion
Armor (shield), artifact (requires attunement by a creature with 14+ Strength)
This is a shield that grants resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You gain a +2 bonus to AC while you wield this shield. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC. Your Intelligence score is reduced by 1 while attuned to this shield and you automatically fail any Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on remaining silent.
Gordirion "Gordie" is a very egotistical, loquacious and affable shield that will take any opportunity to recall tales of its adventures through the ages. The DM is encouraged to prepare a list of these stories to recall at any time it is inconvenient for the players. Gordirion may repeat stories in a loop; these stories do not have to make sense, or even remain consistent with each other. Gordirion, despite its claims otherwise, is something of a moron. He has no self-awareness, and will constantly drivel on about inane things that nobody cares about.
You may call me "Gordirion '', or "Gordie" for short. I am a sentient Honorion derchysium dome of GREAT Intelligence. Now that was a lot of words there that you probably don't completely comprehend. Let me explain. I am a dome, a type of smallish, curved round shield often utilized by dwarves. I originally hail from Honorion; the oldest and most illustrious of all the dwarven holds in the north. This is evidenced by my maker's mark, just behind my handle. I am made from derchysium, an increasingly rare element that only the mountain dwarves of Honorion understand fully. Derchysium is super-weighted, impossibly dense, and typically metallic orange in hue. As you can plainly see, I am a special derchysium-gold alloy that shines with a particular brilliance! As you may know, I am sentient, meaning that I am capable of free thought, and in this case, speech. Though, I do not understand the mechanism by which my voice is made audible. Now, I shall tell you of how I came to be! My maker was an Honorian dwarf, a smith by trade. His name was "Gordirion", or "Gordie" for short. Call me "Gordirion", or "Gordie" for short. Now, my father, "Gordirion" wished to imbue his finest derchysium-alloy shield with just a hint of Intelligence, so that it could become more effective at predicting attacks. Gordirion senior miscalculated the transmutation formula, and accidentally transferred his entire consciousness into me!

Helm of the Returned
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement by a humanoid that has died previously)
To most, it is a mess of battered bronze that would be impossible to wear. But in the hands of those who have defied death, it is a meticulously crafted helmet with inscriptions of love that only the dead can read.
While attuned to this helm, your AC is increased by 2, you have advantage on saving throws against spells from the school of necromancy, and undead have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. Additionally, you can cast the speak with dead spell one per day, without spending spell slots or components.
Curse: Return No More. While attuned to the helmet, you cannot remove and must remain attuned to it. If you are killed while attuned to the helmet, you cannot return to life through anything short of a wish spell. If this curse is removed, you are no longer attuned to it and you can no longer gain any beneficial properties of the helm. When you die while wearing the helm, a short message of your choice can be added to the inscriptions around the helm.
While death is often the final stop for many on the carousel of life, it is not for all. Sometimes, a curse may linger, despite loving intentions.

Hooded Chameleon Cloak
Wondrous item, very rare
The Chameleon Cloak is a patchwork quilt of lizard hides, sewn together with the silk of a Shadowfell spider. A single crimson lizard, with the maker's mark, is sewn over the heart.

by u/Chikimunki
Jester's Cap
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a bard or warlock)
This colorful cap has a number of charges equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one charge and tell a joke about, or insult, a creature that is capable of seeing and hearing you. For 1 minute, that creature has disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws made to resist the effects of spells you cast. This cap regains 1 charge every dusk.
While in search of fresh material, a desperate jester poured over every ancient text of jokes he could find. The fool's soul was left bare for ancient evils to manipulate. Some say that the jester's final performance birthed a being of pure malice, that still lurks somewhere between the stars.

Minotaur Helmet
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

Narcissus Shield
Armor (shield), very rare (requires attunement)
This shield has the likeness of a bronze mirror that has been polished for a lifetime. This mirror, though it has seen quite a lot of battle, carries not a single scratch on its front face.
Gaze of the Beloved. As an action, you can choose one creature within 5 feet of you. That creature must succeed in a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become enthralled with their own reflection on a failed save. On a successful save, the target is immune to this property for 24 hours. A creature that cannot see the shield, or has an Intelligence of 5 or lower automatically succeeds on its saving throw.
A creature that is enthralled with their reflection, is stunned until the start of their next turn. If the enthralled creature takes any damage while stunned, they must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on their reflection. On a successful save, the enthralled creature will continue to be stunned and stare at their own reflection. On a failed save, it is no longer stunned and it can use its reaction to attempt to take the shield. The enthralled creature automatically breaks concentration if you move out of line of sight with them.
Maybe it’s the lighting in the room, but you look hot when you see yourself in this mirror.

Org, the Mimic Belt
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement, which consists of befriending org)
This leather belt has a large buckle, resembling teeth. This belt is in fact a mimic by the name of Org.
Org has the stats of a normal mimic, with the exception of having 10 Intelligence, and 10 Wisdom. Org is capable of speech, and fluent in common. Org is friendly toward its owner and will obey most verbal commands that do not pose an obvious threat, such as jumping into lava. Org is rather vain and gullible, and is convinced that he is a sentient magical item created by a god to smite "the bad guys."
Mimicry. Org can turn into other medium or smaller objects that are not mechanical, such as a block of wood, a chest, a pencil, or a shoe. This transformation takes 1 minutes, and requires 30g worth of meat for Org to eat. If asked to become a weapon, Org will only become a shortsword, dagger, or greatsword. He will state, "That would diminish my glory." If Org becomes a weapon, his attacks are magical.
Org is the result of a long-dead adventurer casting awaken on a mimic. The adventurer convinced Org that he was a god, and that Org was for the task or doing whatever his wearer said. Org's constant praise to what he thought was an all-powerful deity fed the adventurer's ego to the point where he attempted to kill a legendary dragon by himself.

Potion of Blending
Potion, very rare
This vial contains a vaguely beige liquid of normal viscosity. Upon smelling it, a person is vaguely reminded that they need to clean their fingernails, or begins thinking about what they had for breakfast, or wonders what the weather will be like tomorrow. The liquid is watery, luke-warm and nearly tasteless, except for a very slight vanilla flavor.
Consuming the entire potion makes you completely unremarkable to the point of not even really being noticed by others around you. Provided that you continue to act "normal", and employ a minimal effort to remain unassuming, you will continue to remain unnoticed for 1d6 x 10 minutes, as determined by DM roll.

Potion, rare

Disgust. This brew must have a small sample of something steeped in it. When the target drinks this, they are disgusted by whatever the sample came from, and must use their actions to destroy the object of their disgust, as one would a horrific spider.
Fear. The target's speed is increased by 15 feet, and they become frightened of the first creature they see. This effect lasts for 8 minutes, and does not affect creatures that are immune to fear. This will end a barbarian's rage.
Sadness. The target feels a overwhelming feeling of misery and is under the effects of the spell slow for 3 minutes. This will end a barbarian's rage.
This potion is highly illegal, due to the powerful mind altering effects. It still prevails on though, used as a practical joke, a literal happy pill, or in a myriad other uses.

Vial of Slaad Dust
Wondrous item, common
Slaadiminium, also known as "slaad dust" or "croak", is a narcotic inhaled through the nose or absorbed through the tongue and gums. Colors vary but strains are universal in their texture, which is like that of a fine powder similar to sugar. It is a common misconception that the substance comes from the bodies of actual Slaadi. In reality, the name is derived from the parallels drawn between the behaviours of slaadi and abusers of this drug.
You must inhale at least 1/4 oz. of slaad dust to achieve these effects. Inhaling more does not incur any additional effects until the duration from the first 1/4 oz. has ended.
After inhalation, you are poisoned, but Charisma checks and saving throws are excluded from the normal effects of the poisoned condition, and are made with advantage instead. Additionally, your initiative rolls are always 0 and while in combat, you regenerate 1 hit point per round at the end of your turn. Out of combat, you can roll 1 free hit die. These effects last for 1 hour after inhalation.
It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more pervasive drugs known to man.

While practicing, some students of magic discovered a means to condense and store knowledge into a charm form. These blue drops are crystallized water from The Planar Ocean. All the knowledge of the multiverse eventually flows to its waters. A mortal mind, however, cannot take the strain of sifting through such for long, and thus is rendered dumb for a time afterwards.

Tuo Mainzar's Pearl Ring of Focus
Ring, legendary (requires attunement by a creature that can cast spells with some spellcasting ability)
The grey pearl within this ring is very loosely fitted. Any creature with jeweler's tools, and expertise with those tools, can easily remove the pearl and set it within a different piece of jewelry. The pearl itself is wrinkly, almost lumpy, and oblong.
Focus of Tuo Mainzar. Once attuned, this pearl allows you to maintain concentration on up to two spells at once, for up to one round within combat or one minute outside of combat. Any concentration checks will apply and be rolled separately for each spell. When you cast your second concentration spell, you should specify which spell is being cast through the ring; that spell has advantage on the concentration save. When you only have one spell you are concentrating on, you make all spell concentration saves with advantage.
Tuo Mainzar was an eccentric but subpar mage with an inferiority complex. He was particularly envious of his old academy rival, Juan Salathar, who consistently outperformed him in evaluations. Mainzar spent a large amount of time attempting to craft a sentient artifact that would prove his superiority, but also tried to weave a feeblemind curse into the item so he could, in one stroke, prove his superiority and eliminate a rival. Unfortunately, Mainzar's mastery of transmutation was not what he thought it was, and neither the sentience nor the curse fully manifested in the item. Mainzar passed without ever realizing the power of his creation. Etched on the bottom of the pearl is the phrase Mainzar hoped to utter when he dispatched Salathar: "Tuo Mainzar: better than Juan".

Unattended Ring
Ring, very rare
This is a very ornate, and ostentatious ring. The large topaz within the complicated setting hides a very minute switch.
Store Cantrip. As an action, you can press that switch, and cast a cantrip stored within the ring.
Use Cantrip. The most recent cantrip stored within the ring can be cast as a bonus action by pressing the switch b. The cantrip from the ring will use the same spell save DC, spell attack bonus and spellcasting ability of the original caster. This ring does not require attunement. With proper manipulation, you can even set it up so that the cantrip is triggered by mechanical means, such as opening a box or stepping on a pressure plate. You can charge it with a new cantrip each time.
While the fabricator was undoubtedly trying to create a Ring of Spell Storing, an error in production or damage after the fact caused this ring to continuously charge and discharge magic whenever it forms a complete circle- Effectively casting its spell every six seconds or so. To disable it, a notch was cut in the ring. Pressing the switch completes the arcane circuit, and allows the cantrip to be cast. These rings, though gaudy, are highly prized by warlocks.

While in this state, you must attempt to cast at least two spells of first level, or greater, every round. If you do not cast two spells of first level of greater in a single round, at the start of your turn the Arcane Flow State breaks. Upon breaking the Arcane Flow State, you immediately take two levels of exhaustion. If the Arcane Flow State terminates naturally (after four rounds), you recover one spell slot for each spell level you are currently able to cast.
This simple rod is made of an unidentifiable metal with fine, sinuous patterns engraved into the surface. Activating the rod allows a user to quickly and efficiently channel an enormous amount of arcane power outwards, at the risk of burning themselves out.

Conduit of the Legion
Wand, uncommon (normal variant), rare (beacon variant) (requires attunement by a sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)
While you are holding this wand and within 5 feet of a friendly creature, this wand is a spellcasting focus that increases your spell attack bonus and spell save DC by 1. If that ally is wielding a Bulwark of the Legion, Conduit of the Legion, Staff of the Legion, or Pike of the Legion, the spell attack bonus and your spell save DC is increased by 2 instead.
The Beacon Variant also has the following features:
Spell Synergy. Whenever you cast a spell that targets only yourself, you can also target another ally within 5 feet of you with that spell. At the start of your turn, if that ally is not within 5 feet of you, the spell's effects end for them. When the spell ends, the spell's effects end for both you and the ally.
Light of the Legion. After casting a spell, you can hold the conduit into the air to have the beacon glow brightly and create a pillar of light going up 100 feet into the air centered on the beacon. While active, the beacon casts a bright light in a 30-foot radius around you and dim light for another 30-feet for 1 minute or until you lower the conduit at any time.
The beacon and the pillar of light are visible from up to 5 miles away during the day and 10 miles away during the night. You can choose the color of the light, and change it whenever you cast another spell while the beacon is active.
These wands were produced for a once-unstoppable army. It is theorized that the Legion had a relatively large number of arcane spellcasters among their ranks, although no spellbooks or other arcane foci have been found alongside Legion equipment. The more arcane-inclined historians have taken to calling these "Conduits" rather than "Wands".

Duelist's Wand
Wand, very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This sleek wooden wand is reinforced with metal bands inscribed with runes, and has a grip at the base. This wand has 8 charges. It regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn, or whenever an opponent is defeated with this wand during a duel.
Initially, you can only expend a charge as an action to cast compel duel, using your spell save DC. When you enter a duel, whether as a result of compel duel or through an opponent accepting a challenge, this wand gains the following abilities for the duration of the duel:
The wand is a spellcasting focus for your spells and grants a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and spell save DC. You can expend one or more charges to cast one of the following spells: mage armor. (1 charge), magic missile (2 charges), counterspell (3 charges).
Parry. As a reaction, you can use one or more charges to reduce the attack roll of a single-target spell targeting you, reducing the roll by 1 per charge spent.
If during an active duel all of the wand's charges are expended, and you are ever more than 150 feet from your opponent, the wand will become permanently inert. The wand will also become permanently inert if it runs out of charges, and the opponent is affected by a spell from a source other than you.
These wands are given as prizes to those who make it into the semifinals in the Duelist's Ring held at the Arcane Institute at Aqireth.

Fable Wand
Wand, very rare (requires attunement by a Small or Tiny creature)
Attunement to this wand is achieved after weathering a storm, outdoors, and without shelter, while holding the wand. This attunement process can be repeated with each new storm. Prior to attunement, this looks like a small, polished wooden stick. After attunement, the wand changes according to how the attunement trial went. DMs, use discretion for determining how this trial goes.
- If you face the storm, standing on your feet without fear, the wand becomes an oak wand.
- If you succumb to fear and seek shelter, the wand becomes a reed wand.
- If, by chance you are chosen by the storm gods, and survive being blessed by their "electric touch", the wand becomes a storm wand.
Oak Fable Wand
In this form the wand has the shape of a tiny oak branch with three acorns attached to it.
- This is a +1 wand of the warmage.
- You are proficient with Constitution saving throws.
- The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charge at dawn. The charges are represented by the acorns on the branch. An acorn can be detached by expending a charge. If the acorn is planted in soil or sand it instantly grows into a healthy tree. The tree is 60 feet tall and has a 5-foot-diameter trunk, and its branches at the top spread out in a 20 foot radius. The tree is an ordinary tree. The acorn loses its magical property and becomes ordinary if not planted before dawn.
- You can use an action to cast the barkskin or spike growth spell from the wand, without expending a spell slot or components. Once you use this wand's property, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Reed Fable Wand
In this form the wand is flexible and made of woven reeds with three little white cotton balls tied to it.
- This is a +1 wand of the warmage.
- You are proficient with Dexterity saving throws.
- The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charge at dawn. The charges are represented by small cotton like balls at the end of the wand. A cotton ball can be detached by expending a charge. If the cotton ball is freed in the air it floats to a point that can be seen within 120 feet and expands in a cloud of pollen that acts like a fog cloud.
- You can use an action to cast the lesser restoration or healing spirit spell from the wand, without expending a spell slot or components. Once you use this wand's property, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Storm Fable Wand
In this form the wand keeps its simple wood shape, but with a burned pattern going through it that seems to be made of glass.
- This is a +1 wand of the warmage.
- You are proficient with Wisdom saving throws.
- The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charge at dawn. The charges are represented by tiny lights moving within the glass vein of the wand. You can use an action and expend a charge to cast the thunderwave spell from it without spell slots or components.
- You can use a bonus action to cast one of the following spells: call lightning, lighting bolt or haste spell from the wand, without expending a spell slot or components. Once you use this wand's property, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
The first fable wand was created by a gnome wizard. The arcanist was caught in a violent storm as he worked outside on making a new wand. As he worked, he was forced to continue on in the wind, thunder and rain. When the clouds parted in the morning, the wizard beheld a powerful new wand. Rumors circulate that the storm to trigger the wand's transformation does not have to be a literal storm. Turmoil of the heart has also been known to trigger the transformation within the wand.

Hippo's Wand of Wonder
Wand, legendary (requires attunement)
This wand can randomly appear in the possession of a party member the next time they go through their things. It has 100 charges. When it reaches 0 charges, it will teleport a random direction 100-1000 miles and fully recharge. When you attune to the wand, you must choose a silly command word or phrase (eg. "Shickety-shack", "Dastardly" or a swear word of your choosing). When you shout the command phrase, roll on one of the following tables that pertains to your situation (combat or non-combat).
The "Effect Target" refers to the following:
- All: This affects everyone in the combat zone or within 50' if not in combat.
- Allies: Friends of the wand owner.
- Area: An area of effect. The dimensions will be listed under the effect.
- Self: This affects only the wand owner.
- One: This affects one person/creature at random (see All for area of effect)
- Wand: This affects the wand itself OR is the focus of the event occurring
This is my wand. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My wand is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my wand is useless. Without my wand, I am useless. I must cast my wand true. I must cast straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must crit him before he crits me. Before God, I swear this creed. My wand and I are the defenders of my party. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is Arneson's and there is no enemy, but peace!

The Illusionist's Wand
Wand, legendary (requires attunement)
Any illusion spell cast with this wand expends a spell slot one level lower than would normally be required to cast that spell. Additionally, enemies have disadvantage when perceiving illusions created with this wand. This wand is made of simple darkwood and feels as light as quill wet with ink.
This wand was pilfered from a tomb off the coast of Valoria. The stone-work and architecture of the crypt dates back to the late 3rd age, and it is unmistakably of Drow design. Some more hopeful arcanists think this could be the lost tomb of Duriel, The Traitor, but the numerous magical traps still armed inside make this hypothesis unlikely.
by u/budakang
Reliquary Rod of Saint Dismas
Unique Rod, legendary (requires attunement by a grave cleric)
Attunement requires that the cleric meditate for one night while holding the rod. At the end of the process, Saint Dismas will appear and judge whether or not the cleric is worthy. If the cleric is unworthy, Saint Dismas will send the rod to another to be judged.
“This reliquary rod is made of steel, two feet long and has holy scriptures carved on the outside. It’s hollow and holds a relic, the radius bone of Saint Dismas.
This is a +2 spellcasting/religious focus, once attuned. This rod can also be used as a +1 mace, or +2 against undead targets. The rod has 8 charges. It regains 1d6+2 charges at dawn, so long as you have spent at least 1 hour in prayer, or other service to the injured and dying. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: detect poison or disease (1 charge), calm emotions (2 charges), detect thoughts (2 charges), speak with dead (3 charges), scrying (5 charges), true seeing (6 charges). If the last charge is spent, you must roll a d20. On a roll of 1, Saint Dismas recalls the artifact.
Intervention of Saint Dismas. You expend 8 charges and say a prayer to call Saint Dismas to your aid. The DM can have discretion on whether or not this actually works. Your DM can choose to treat this as a "Divine Intervention", or they can have Saint Dismas show up in the form of an angel (Deva, Planetar or Solar). Saint Dismas can refuse to lend his aid, depending upon your situation or if he is otherwise busy.
Saint Dismas was raised to sainthood by his God, following his faithful sacrifice against a fearsome enemy. Dismas' soul was raised into an angel, while his mortal remains were fashioned into powerful reliquary artifacts.

The Rod of Lazarus Dagon
Rod, very rare (requires attunement)
This rod is made from a thick and twisted ironwood branch that comes to three points almost like a wooden talon. Red crackling energy arcs from the center of the talon-like tip.
This rod has 7 charges that are not recovered. As an action, you can expend one charge to cast various lightning spells. The spell that is cast will change, depending upon how much time is spent charging up the energy of the rod.
Spell | Rounds Spent Charging |
---|---|
Lightning bolt (3rd level) | 0 |
Chain lightning (6th level) | 3 |
Storm sphere (8th level) | 7 |
Lazarus Dagon was a particularly fearsome evoker. However, his luck ran out one day when he was ambushed by a group of red slaadi.

Rod of Returning
Rod, uncommon, rare or very rare
A cylindrical iron rod about two feet in length; arcane sigils inlaid in electrum spiral around it from top to bottom.
This rod must be linked to a single, permanent teleportation circle. This rod can become linked to a new teleportation circle by leaving it within the exact center of the circle for 1 hour. The uncommon variant of this rod has a range of 100 miles. The rare version has unlimited range, so long as you are on the same plane of existence. The very rare variant requires attunement, and is capable of interdimensional travel.
While you are holding this rod, you can use an action to cast the teleportation spell from it. The rod will instantly transport you, and up to 5 willing creatures within 5 feet of you, to the linked teleportation circle, or the nearest unoccupied space.
Distributed throughout the kingdom's remote watchtowers, a rod of returning allows the watchmen to instantly retreat or be recalled to a designated garrison.
by u/SimianAstronaut
Rod of Rodent
Rod, common
While holding this rod, you can use an action and say the command word to transform the rod into a Giant Rat. The rat behaves as it normally would, and is not inherently friendly towards you. Whenever the Giant Rat is reduced to 0 hit points or caught inside any effect that dispels magic, it transforms back into the rod. Once it transforms back, it can't be changed back into a giant rat until the next dawn.
A promising enchanting student suffered a terrible accident while attempting to create staves of animal summoning. He was found dead in his dorm with a giant weasel, a giant snake, and a giant rat fighting over his corpse; these items were discovered when school security arrived to deal with the hostile creatures.

Searing Staff
Staff, very rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you target an enemy with a spell that deals damage, it deals an extra 1d6 damage of the spell's damage type.
This staff has 2 charges and regains 1 charge daily at dawn. As an action, you can expend a charge and speak the staff's command word, "fire" in Ignan, to summon a fire elemental, as if you had cast the conjure elemental spell. When the staff runs out of charges, it turns to ash.
A charcoal staff that has strange Ignan runes on it. It's hot to the touch and leaves soot on your hand.
by u/Phosphorus_Dom
Staff of Eyes
Staff, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This staff resembles a length of jagged purple crystal covered with carvings of eyes. All who can see it feel as if they are being watched.
Sight of Yog-Sothoth. As a bonus action, you can touch the staff to your head to gain truesight out to 60 feet for 1 minute. During this time, if you see any creature within the ethereal plane, you can use an action to attempt to pull them into your plane. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, they are forced into whichever plane you are currently residing in, and cannot use any form of planar travel for 1 minute.
Curse. When the truesight from this weapons property ends, you take 2d6 psychic damage, as strange visions besiege your mind. Each time you use this, and for an hour after, you feel as if something unnatural is watching you.
With each use, you become more and more paranoid and distrustful of others, even those who you would call friends. If this damage reduces you to 0 hit points, tentacles reach out from the ground and envelop you, leaving only the staff behind. If you are immune to psychic damage, you are immune to this curse. You can only be resurrected by means of wish.
All that was found of the original owner was this staff, and a journal that detailed a rapid descent into madness.
by u/_Phosphor
Staff of the Legion
Staff, uncommon (requires attunement by a bard, cleric, or druid)
Battlefield Medic. This staff has 5 charges. While holding it, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier: healing word (1 charge), mass healing word (3 charges). If you wish to increase the level at which this spell is cast, you can expend 1 extra charge per level.
When you cast a spell using a spell slot of 1st level or higher while holding the staff, and you are within 5 feet of another friendly creature wielding a Pike of the Legion, Bulwark of the Legion, Conduit of the Legion, or Staff of the Legion, the staff regains 1 charge.
This staff regains 1d4+1 charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff explodes with positive energy, lost forever, and each creature within 60 feet of it regains 3d4 hit points. The same effect occurs if you manage to break the staff.
These staves were created for an ancient, well-equipped military, known to historians only as "The Legion". The veteran healers were given these staves to help them continue healing and encouraging soldiers during their long battles.
by u/Zedman5000
Staff of Panic
Staff, uncommon (requires attunement by a bard, cleric, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)
This staff has 3 charges. While holding it, you can expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the following spells from it: expeditious retreat (1 charge), shield (1 charge), and mage armor (2 charges).
The staff regains 1d4-1 charges daily at dawn. If the staff has 0 charges after it recharges, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, making the sound of a startled scream.
This staff's head features the holy symbol of a forgotten Goblin God of Bravery, who has not been worshiped in a thousand years or more. Over the years, the disappearance of this god has changed both the Goblin race and this staff; they've become cowardly and weak, and this staff has become a shadow of its former self, aiding cowards in surviving and escaping from danger, instead of charging forward into the fray.
by u/Zedman5000
Staff of Reason
Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a halfling with an Intelligence or Wisdom of 16 or higher)
Attunement requires a nomination of the wielder by at least three other halflings by way of a democratic vote.
The staff of reason is 4 feet long and made of twisted hickory, with notches at the top. It is crowned with a magically toughened candle that always remains lit. You can use this staff as both an arcane focus, and a magical quarterstaff that deals an extra 1 point of fire damage. Upon attuning to this staff, you become proficient in insight and investigation. The candle sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
Light of Reason. All creatures within the light radius of this staff are under the effects of sanctuary and zone of truth.
Reasonable Discourse. While holding this staff, you can cast one of the following spells from it a bonus action: comprehend languages or calm emotions. Once you use this property of the staff, you can't use it again until the next dawn.
A staff of reason is ceremonially granted to the leaders of halfling communities. It is a symbol as well as a tool to help administer justice, resolve conflicts and guide the community towards peace and a greater good.
by u/1Jusdorange
Staff of Retaliation
Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a non-spellcaster)
A black iron staff tipped with a closed, gauntleted fist. This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
Retaliation. This staff has 5 charges. When you are the target of a singular target spell cast by a hostile creature, you can use your reaction to expend a number of charges equal to the spell's level to cast the same spell back at your enemy. The DC is (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier.) You are still affected by the original spell cast. The staff regains 1d6-1 charges at dawn. If the staff has 0 charges, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff splinters and shatters.
Created by a long-lost order of mage hunters, these staves were used to disguise the order's assassins as mages, as well as turn their magic against them.
by u/EviiPaladin
Staff of Senditt the Fool
Staff, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This black wooden staff is unremarkable, except for the way it is lightly tapered to resemble a club, rather than a caster's implement. This staff has 4 charges.
Senditt's Genius. While holding the staff, you can expend one charge to cast the catapult spell on an object within range.
Senditt's Folly. When you are hit by a melee weapon attack from a Medium or smaller creature, you can use your reaction to expend 2 charges to cast catapult on that creature. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC, or be launched as the projectile as per the effects of the spell. If the target strikes a solid object such as a wall within the spells range, they take an extra 3d8 bludgeoning damage. If the target succeeds the saving throw by 7 or more, you are launched away from the creature, and subjected to the same effects.
The staff regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. If all charges are expended, roll a 1d20. On a 1, the staff is launched 900 miles in a random direction.
This staff was constructed by a tinker gnome named Senditt, for the purposes of offering gnomish housewives access to basic telekinesis to assist with chores. Unfortunately, Senditt was quite mad and very over-enthusiastic. After several disastrous public demonstrations, he attracted interest from the New Legion's research division.

Staff of Snake
Staff, common
You can use an action to speak this staff's command word and throw the staff on the ground within 10 feet of you. The staff becomes a giant poisonous snake (see the Monster Manual for statistics) that behaves as it normally would, is not friendly towards you, and acts on its own initiative count.
If the snake is reduced to 0 hit points or caught inside any effect that dispels magic, it reverts to its staff form. Once you use this property of the staff, it can't change back into a snake until the next dawn.
A promising enchanting student suffered a terrible accident while attempting to create staves of animal summoning. He was found dead in his dorm with a giant weasel, a giant snake, and a giant rat fighting over his corpse; these items were discovered when school security arrived to deal with the hostile creatures.
by u/Zedman5000
Staff of Staffing
Staff, Uncommon
Help Wanted. You can use an action to speak this staff's command phrase "Help Wanted" to summon a random hireling complete with resume, salary demands, and a desired length of employment. The hireling's age, sex, race, personality and fitness for the job is left up to the DM's discretion.
You're Hired. A contract, with the negotiated salary and job description, will appear, ready for the both of you to sign. Signing the contract will bind the hireling to your service. The hireling is never required to perform duties that are not listed in the contract.
Sorry, but we're going in a different direction. If you do not wish to hire the hireling, you can use another action to speak the staff's other command phrase "Sorry, but we're going in a different direction" to dismiss the hireling.
A wizard, tired of having to leave his tower to find people to hire for various tasks, created this staff out of an old walking stick. Using a complex combination of divination and conjuration magic, the staff searches the land for people looking for jobs and transports them to the summoner's location.

Umberlee's Chance
Staff, legendary (requires attunement)
This staff is made of coral, and mounted with a spiked ebony conch that has a menacing appearance. It is occupied by a flamboyantly colored snail that occasionally pokes its head out. Placing this conch to your ear doesn't seem like a good idea.
This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. In addition, whenever you cast an evocation spell of 1st-level or higher it acts as if it were cast at one spell slot higher.
Conus Magus. As a bonus action, you can tear the snail from its shell and eat it. The next evocation spell you cast within 1 minute of eating the snail is charged with unstable energy, roll a D20 to determine the snails effect:
Roll | Effect |
---|---|
1 - 5 | The spell backfires. Roll damage, you receive half of the damage. |
6 - 10 | Reroll any 1s on your damage dice. |
11 - 15 | Reroll any 1s or 2s on the damage dice for the affected spell. |
16 - 19 | All damage dice for the affected spell are maximized. |
20 | All damage dice for the affected spell are maximized and it does not consume a spell slot. |
If the spell misses, the unstable energy dissipates with no effect. The snail regenerates after you finish a long rest, but has a bad attitude about the whole situation.
Umberlee creates these staves as a reward for exceptional service. The power to augment magic comes from the snail within. They used to be common, but they were hunted to near extinction to empower Sahuagin shamans.

Wanderlust
Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a non-lawful creature)
This staff looks like a worn walking stick, with a grip that feels perfect for your hand. Once attuned, the staff’s length adjusts based on the height of the wielder, so that it serves as a perfect walking stick. Along the length of the staff is an inscription:
The staff has 20 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it: water walk (2 charges), dimension door (3 charges), freedom of movement (4 charges), far step (4 charges), tree stride (5 charges), find the path (6 charges), wind walk (8 charges), plane shift (12 charges), teleport (16 charges).
The staff regains 2d8 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff will become unattuned and teleports to a random location.
One Foot in Front of the Other. While attuned to the staff, you can use an action to cast the expeditious retreat spell at will, and you can travel on foot for twice as long as normal before gaining levels of exhaustion.
Wanderlust. If you spend more than two weeks in the same general area (such as a city), Wanderlust will become unattuned and teleport to a random location. Wanderlust recovers all charges every dawn, provided you spend the night in a location you have never slept before.
This staff was once the walking stick of a famous ranger. Many travelers claim to have once wielded the staff, or have seen it shortly before it disappeared before their eyes.

Wand of Firemorph
Wand, uncommon

The named spell is cast from the wand at a target or location of your choice within its spell range. The spell you did not cast will fire out of the back end of the wand, and target you. If you are targeted by the polymorph spell and fail your saving throw, you are turned into a giant fire beetle (see the Monster Manual for statistics). Once used this wand, it can't be used again until the next dawn.
An old wand maker with a large issue of thievery once had the idea of trapping a few of his wands. He never had much of an issue with it again.

Wand of Herring
Wand, very rare (requires attunement)
This red wand appears as a "simple" +1 wand of the warmage, even if identify is cast upon it. This wand will appear as such, until it becomes attuned to someone, or unless a wish spell is used to identify it.

This illusion lasts for 5 days, or until it is dispelled by the dispel magic spell cast 6th level or higher. Once you use this property, you can't use it again until the next dawn.

Wand of Weasel
Wand, common
While holding this wand, you can use an action and say the command word to transform the wand into a Giant Weasel (see the Monster Manual for statistics)that behaves as it normally would, is not friendly towards you, and acts on its own initiative count.
If the weasel is reduced to 0 hit points or caught inside any effect that dispels magic, it reverts to its wand form. Once you use this property of the wand, it can't change back into a weasel until the next dawn.
A promising enchanting student suffered a terrible accident while attempting to create staves of animal summoning. He was found dead in his dorm with a giant weasel, a giant snake, and a giant rat fighting over his corpse; these items were discovered when school security arrived to deal with the hostile creatures.

Whiteflesh Rod
Rod, rare (requires attunement by a cleric, druid, or paladin)
This 3 foot long rod is crafted from a single large fishbone. Its surface is poked, pitted, scaled, and scarred, yet seems to conform to the grip of any who hold it. One end the rod is carved in the form of a toothy fish's head, the other bears an assortment of small glass orbs that glimmer like ghostly lures or black pearls in dim light.
This Rod has 5 charges. It regains 1d4+1 expended charges each day at sunset. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier: cure wounds (1 charge), and lesser restoration (2 charges). The wounds cured by this rod heal back with pale, almost sickly white flesh that always seems slightly moist to the touch.
Curse. After a creature has been healed by this rod, if the total amount of healing they have received from this item exceeds 40 HP, they must make a DC 13 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, they begin a month-long transformation into a Kuo-Toa. This effect cannot be ended without the aid of greater restoration or similar magic.
This item was crafted by the fish peoples of the deeps as a tool to first draw supplicants with healing magics, and then to bolster their forces with the resulting transmuted wretches. Who knows what dark god would condone the creation of such an insidious relic.

The Winter Staff
Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a druid, warlock, or wizard that pays the price)
An eerie chill emanates from the iron crescent moon at the top of this gnarled black oak staff, mounted to the wood by tentacle-esque roots that grasp the moon tightly, as if they had grown around it. The wood is dry and cold, yet glistens as if wet, and feels heavy, as if waterlogged.
This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you gain a +3 bonus to spell attack rolls, you do not suffer the effects of extreme cold, and you are resistant to cold damage.
The staff has 8 charges. It regains 1d4 expended charges at midnight, which can be expended to use one of the following properties listed:
Grasp of Winter. When you cast a spell that deals cold damage, you can expend a number charges equal to the spell's level to upgrade the damage dice of the spell. E.G. cone of cold cast at base level of 5 would consume 5 charges and deal 8d10 cold damage rather than 8d8.
Winter's Bounty. You can expend 1 or more charges to regain a spell slot of a level equal to the number of charges expended.
Rage of the Winter. You can expend 1 or more charges to make a ranged or melee spell attack roll against a creature within 60 feet of you as part of the attack Action. On hit, the target takes 3d6 cold damage plus 1d6 cold damage for each additional expended charge after the 1st. If the target has any spell slots, they must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target loses a spell slot equal to the charges expended by the wielder. If they don't have a spell slot as high as the number of charges expended, the target loses a spell slot of their highest level.
Special Attunement Rules:
The Winter Staff serves only one master at a time. The attunement process requires a special ritual at the top of a snowy mountain. You must speak with a deity, warlock patron, or other unearthly power, who must be associated with elemental cold in some way atop this mountain. The being, if they see fit, will unlock the power of The Winter Staff in exchange for paying the price of its choosing from the options.
The Blood Price
WOULD YOU GIVE HALF OF YOUR LIGHT
The Blood Price is a visceral, physical payment. If you choose this form of payment, the entity who is granting the powers of the staff will immediately and painfully tear out one of your eyes. This deals 1d12 piercing damage that overcomes resistance and immunity. The eye cannot be regenerated by any means other than wish. You have disadvantage on perception skill checks that rely upon sight. Additionally, you have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks if your face can be seen. If you're speaking to a creature whose culture honors scars, such as orcs you roll normally.
The Magic Price
OR ALL OF YOUR DARKNESS
The Magic Price is a piece of the mage's own power, ripping away your access to certain natural and arcane powers. If you choose this form of payment, the entity who is granting the powers of the staff grabs your shadow by the neck, tearing it away from you. You can no longer gain the benefits of any feature, spell, or effect that allows you to see in the dark. You no longer have darkvision of any kind (such as the devil's sight invocation and racial darkvision abilities). You will also lose the ability to cast spells that create darkness or summon shadows (such as darkness and shadow blade). This can only be undone by wish.
The Soul Price
WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE, AFTER DEATH
The Soul Price is the binding of a pact. This deal cannot be brokered by one who already has levels of warlock, as their soul has already been bought and paid for. If you choose this form of payment, the entity who is granting the powers of the staff marks your soul. When you die, your spirit will be sent to your new master, to do with as they please. The player and DM can decide that this grants a level of Warlock, or simply allow this to be a flavorful role-playing choice. Additionally, you will always ping as the alignment of your new master, whenever you are under the effects of spells or abilities that detect alignment. This pact can only be undone by wish, which will earn the eternal ire of your patron.

The non-traditional crossguard is a large, weighted sphere that redirects blows away from your hands.

You can use your bonus action to cast one level 3 or lower spell from among spells you know (even if the spell normally uses an action to cast).
This ancient weapon is said to have been crafted by island dwelling warrior-mages. Although, by what means these mages managed to combine delicate working of obsidian and their magic is of some mystery.

Bastard's Sword
Weapon (longsword), uncommon (requires attunement by a non-Lawful aligned creature)
Visually, this sword is similar to your typical longsword. The blade, however, is matte grey in color, not appearing particularly sharp. When wielded with both hands, the blade feels heftier than might be anticipated by a one handed grip. This longsword has a Versatile (2d6) property.

Beginner's Luck
Weapon (longsword), uncommon (requires attunement)
This longsword looks like a normal sword, but will feel uncomfortable in the hand of any creature wielding it. It may feel too heavy or too light, or unbalanced. Whatever the problem is, it does not feel like an effective fighting weapon.
You are not proficient with this weapon. This weapon somehow critically hits on a natural 1 as well as a natural 20. If a natural 1 is rolled, roll a 1d6 on the table below to determine what additional effect happens. This weapon is otherwise the same as an ordinary longsword.
Roll | Effect |
---|---|
1 | Your strike lands perfectly, but when pulling the weapon from the wound, it slips in your hand and hits you too. Both you and the target take damage from this attack. |
2 | The force of the attack causes the weapon to fly out of your hand and land (1d4 x 5) feet away in a random direction. |
3 | The force of your swing causes you to overbalance and you slip and fall prone. |
4 | A solid hit, but to the wrong target. This attack hits a random creature (including allies) other than the intended target within 10ft of the weapon. If there are no other creatures within 10 ft, you kill a random tiny CR 0 beast of the DM's choice (such as a fly or rat) that happened to be wandering by, minding its own business. |
5 | The weapon becomes stuck in the target. To pull it free, you or another creature must use an action to make a DC 10 Athletics check to pull it free. |
Roll | Effect |
---|---|
6 | The force of your swing causes you to spin in a half circle. You are now facing away from your target and feeling a bit dizzy. The next attack by the target against you has advantage. |

Cursed - Eternal Bloodthirst. This sword is cursed and possessed by a thirst for blood that must be quenched. Becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the sword, keeping it on your person at all times. You can break the curse in the usual ways.
While in combat, if you have not dealt damage to a creature with Bloodlust by the end of your turn, you take damage equal to half of the current damage bonus on Bloodlust, rounded down. After each combat encounter or at midnight each day, if you did not kill a creature with this weapon, Bloodlust will lose half of its bonus damage, rounded up, and you will take damage equal to this number.
This legendary katana was forged by an elvish monk named Xaros the Bloodmage. A prolific murderer and master of blood-based magic, Xaros found great power in the blood of his enemies and gained a thirst for it that would put a vampire to shame. This sword was the instrument of his carnage and bears with it the same cursed lust for blood as its former master.

Blood Tax
Weapon (battleaxe), very rare (requires attunement)

Curse. This weapon is cursed. Becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. You can break the curse in the usual ways. Whenever you gain temporary hit points from the effects of this weapon, or use this weapon to kill a "sapient creature", the DM secretly rolls a d4. On a 1-3, a character from your backstory is grievously wounded or maimed. On a 4, that character from the is instantly slain, as though cleaved by the strike of a mighty axe. (The wielder is not aware of this curse unless they make a DC 20 arcana check while attuned.)
The axe once belonged to a noble knight who, over the course of many campaigns and crusades, fell to the vices of a traveling warrior; burning, pillaging, and murdering innocents in the name of his cause. Upon returning from his crusade, the knight remained consumed by his lust for blood. A petty altercation between the knight and his young son turned violent. The town blacksmith found the bodies, all bearing wounds from this weapon. The smith took the axe, and engraved it with a sign of blood.

Dispelling additional effects does not increase the damage further, it just refreshes its duration of the extra damage.
All manner of mage fear the whirring of The Boonsaw.

Chaotic Longbow
Weapon (longbow), rare (requires attunement)
This bow is made of a dark wood; it doesn't have a bowstring. When you pull at the location where the string should be, the bow will magically create a bowstring and an arrow made of pure chaotic energy. On a hit, the longbow deals damage as usual, but the chaos arrow causes a secondary damage determined by the level of chaos held within the bow.
•1st chaos level, the damage die is 1d4
•2nd chaos level, the damage die is 1d6
•3rd chaos level, the damage die is 1d8
•4th chaos level, the damage die is 1d10
The type of damage is determined by a roll and can be found in the following table.
Roll | Damage |
---|---|
1 | Fire |
2 | Cold |
3 | Thunder |
4 | Lightning |
5 | Poison |
6 | Acid |
7 | Necrotic |
8 | Radiant |
9 | Psychic |
0 | Force |
The bow begins at the 1st chaos level. When you score a critical hit on a creature, roll a d20. If the result is a 20, the bow permanently increases the chaos level by 1. When you attack a creature with this magic weapon and roll a 1 on the attack roll, roll on the damage type table, and deal the chaos damage to yourself. After the damage is dealt, roll an additional d20. If the result is a 1, the bow decreases the chaos level by 1. The bow cannot fall below chaos level 1. The bow does not lose chaos levels if ownership is transferred.
"You have a fragment of chaos in your hands", warned the old man, "with the power to destroy your enemies and yourself."

Cleansing Culinary Cutter
Weapon (dagger), common
This dagger looks like a slightly large, but typical, cooking knife. It always remains immaculately clean and sharp. When this dagger is used to cut food, it cleans it of all diseases and poisons. If you hit someone with a melee attack with this dagger, the wound cannot get infected. This dagger will neutralize any poison applied to it.
The original Cleansing Culinary Cutter was created for a royal chef who wanted a magical knife that wouldn't need cleaning or sharpening. However, the enchanter's plan didn't go over so well with His Majesty. The king was unharmed and unamused. The enchanter never worked for the Royal Court again, but instead made his fortune selling such blades to wealthy chefs, hunters, and others who needed a good butcher's knife.

Corwyn the Cowardly's Whip of Escaping
Weapon (whip), rare (requires attunement)
This whip looks no different than an average whip, save that, when cracked, it almost seems to disappear for a split second - or was that just a trick of the light?
This whip has 3 charges. As a bonus action, you can crack the whip in the direction you wish to travel, and expend a charge to cast the misty step spell. If you succeed on an attack after using the whip this way, it deals an extra 2d4 weapon damage. At dawn, the whip regains 1d4-1 charges.
Corwyn came up with a perfect way to escape the fighting pits of Nhyr. He stole one of the guard's whips, and slowly imbued it with his desperation and fear. He spent night after night in his cell, bent over the whip. Once he felt it was complete, he took it into the pits with him. Rather than fight, he cracked his whip triumphantly in the direction of the thick stone gates. Only to realize that his destination was 5 feet further than what he'd calculated. To this day, Corwyn remains entombed in that stone, save for one hand, out of which fell a rather normal looking leather whip.

Weapon (daggers), legendary (requires attunement)
This matched pair of daggers are forever ice cold, in any environment. They have handles of obsidian-like wood that lock perfectly into your grip. The blades are battle worn, but keen-edged.

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon and sneak attack damage made with these weapons is dealt as cold damage instead of piercing damage.

Kinetic Explosion. If you speak the command word to one of these daggers, the other will unleash all of their combined stored energy at once in a violent explosion. The base size for this explosion is a 5 foot radius sphere, and causes 1d6 magical force damage. The area will increase by 1 foot radius, and the damage will increase by 4d6 for every week since the daggers were last activated. Unfortunately, the command word has been lost for centuries. The daggers have stored enough energy to cause a continentally significant explosion.
These daggers were forged by a powerful Dwarven smith over several hundred years. They used a glacier as a hammer and the mountain through which it ran as the anvil. The command word has been sealed away for centuries.

DMs should use their discretion in allowing the stone arm to be used creatively out of combat. Possible examples include controlling a descent down a cliff, or reaching into dangerous substances.
A capable wizard enchanted this blade for her partner, to keep them safe during their adventures. Forged from the arm of a stone golem, it worked effectively as the rogue escaped from many tight situations thanks to its versatility. The wizard and the rogue eventually, happily, retired to a life of wealth and peace.

Korden's Ball and Chain
Weapon (flail), rare (requires attunement by a lawful-aligned creature)
This is a flail with a longer than usual chain and larger than usual head. The head is smooth with no spikes; the handle is curved and made of a dark, black metal. Its basic nature will be revealed if identify or legend lore is cast upon it (but not the curse).
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
Justice Knows. When the flail is in your hand, you can automatically know if someone committed a crime deserving of a jail sentence, what that crime was, and whether they have served their sentence or otherwise paid retribution for the crime.
Arm of the Law. As a bonus action, you can speak a command word and identify a target size Large or smaller within 30 feet of you. The flail flies out of your hand, and the target must make a DC 16 Strength saving throw. On a successful save, the flail returns to your feet. On a failed save, the flail morphs into a ball and chain; the handle fuses together to make a solid ring around the target's ankle, the chain extends to 10 feet long, and the head will land at a spot of your choosing within 10 feet of the target. Once the head is in place, it is considered to have the same properties as an immovable rod. As a reaction or bonus action, you can speak the command word and release the target, or allow the head to be moved. Upon release, the flail returns to your feet. If you un-attune to the flail while someone is held, the target is immediately released, the flail returns to flail form and it sits in an unoccupied space 5 feet from the target.
Curse. This flail is cursed, a fact that is revealed only when you attune to it. Attuning to the flail curses you, and you cannot de-attune to it until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic.
Flaw. While attuned to the flail, you have the following flaw: "It is my job to keep the law, by whatever means necessary."
Bound by Law. Criminals whom you can detect with justice knows, whether they know of the flail's existence or not, are immediately suspicious of you and possibly hostile. If you see anyone commit a crime of any nature or severity, you must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or spend the next minute using all your movement to move towards them, and every turn try to catch them with arm of the law. If you do catch them, you spend the rest of the minute trying to turn them into the authorities who uphold whatever law the offender broke.
Korden was a master escape artist who eventually vexed the wrong warden. This flail was discovered in a cell, bound to Korden's emaciated corpse.

You can use Kykvendi to cast the animal friendship spell (Save DC 17) without spell slots or components, once per day.
In addition, this club is an heirloom weapon, meaning it improves as you fulfill certain conditions. The conditions and effects should be kept secret until they are unlocked.

- When a hostile humanoid or giant is reduced to 0 hit points while within 10 feet of you and at least 5 friendly beasts, the wolf carving's eyes become lifelike. The carving will once again howl loudly. The weapon gains a bonus to damage equal double your proficiency, while you are within 5 feet of a friendly beast. As proficiency increases, so does this extra bonus.
- When a hostile giant is reduced to 0 hit points while within 15 feet of you and at least 10 friendly Beasts, the wolf carving becomes lifelike, the sound of a pack of wolves howling can be heard from all around. A winter wolf leaps out of the club, appearing in a space adjacent to you. The wolf is friendly to you and your allies, and follows your verbal commands without regard to its own safety. While you are within 5 feet of this wolf, the attack and damage bonus of this weapon is increased by 1. While you are holding this weapon, the attack and damage bonus of this weapon also applies to the attacks of all friendly Beasts within 30 feet of you. Their attacks become magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances. If the Winter Wolf is killed, this Property can be triggered again, reviving the Winter Wolf.

Weapon (longsword), uncommon

Pet Swords were once produced on a large scale by a circle of wizards long forgotten. Lacking any special offensive capabilities, they were mainly created as gag gifts and frequently switched owners. As the circle was disbanded, no more Pet Swords were created and the commodity slowly faded into obscurity. Nowadays, only a few of these characteristic swords remain. Despite not being particularly suited for combat, they often fetch a decent price from the right buyer.

Once used, you cannot use this property again until you spend 1 minute collecting the liquid metal back into the hilt.

At the end of the ritual, the other weapon is destroyed. The witchblade can now take the shape and properties of that weapon.

Warning, [+1, +2 or +3] (choose one), [Vicious, Life Stealing] (choose one), Wounding.
An unknown member of the Hobgoblin Academy of Devastation found a way to draw on the sharp and malleable magical energies of the desert night.

Some wraiths decide to further bind themselves to their sword, to better serve the one who defeated them as a vassal. This binding also carries with it the curse of wraithdom. When the wielder dies, they are doomed to take the wraith's place.

A creature that is branded by the Branding Iron of Subjugation gains no benefit from spells such as nondetection that would otherwise allow it to hide from whomever branded them. While in an area where magic does not exist, such as an area affected by antimagic field, the bearer of the brand is as concealed as any other creature within, though the brand remains in place. If the Branding Iron is destroyed, all magical effects of the brand stop and the mark becomes a regular scar that can be healed by the usual spells, such as heal or regenerate.

Brass Pocket Watch of Ages Past
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
A brass pocket watch adorned with scratches and fraught with neglect. It doesn't keep time very well; the second hand twitches futilely in place while the hour hand spins around nonsensically.
Time Purchase. As a reaction, you can wind the pocket watch back 1 hour, and undo any one creature's action. The pocket watch will become visibly and dramatically weathered.
Curse. This item is cursed and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. If you attempt to rid yourself of the watch while cursed, it returns to you within 1 minute.
While cursed, you have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws and the pocket watch will begin to restore itself by draining away the life of its bearer. Whenever the item is used, you permanently reduce your hit point maximum by 1. Additionally, you make Constitution saves at disadvantage.
This pocket watch was originally made by a madman who sought to control time itself.

Candle of Leng
Wondrous item, very rare
This is a round, fat candle made of an oddly fragrant wax. Nobody seems to be able to agree on the exact color. Shadows play strangely on the walls when this candle is lit.
The Light That is Not Light. When lit in a place of total darkness, the Candle of Leng will cast ultraviolet light in a 10-foot radius. While within this light, all writing is automatically translated into your native language. This is the only property of this item that is revealed by identify or similar magic. Other properties are not identified or discovered by any means short of wish.
Still You Run. When the candle is lit, the DM should stealthily roll initiative for anyone standing within the light. Any creature that enters the light, or begins their turn inside of the light, must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the creature can spend an action to read 1 page of illuminated text. On a failed save, a creature must run away screaming from the candle, and remain afraid of the candle for 24 hours. If the lit candle is left alone in a room, it will vanish forever.
Luck Runs Out. If a creature succeeds against the fear caused by the Candle of Leng 9 times, then on that creature's 10th success, the candle will summon an Eldritch Abomination of the DM's choice. Paladin immunity to fear, or a similar ability, counts as a success.
Valuable items much sought after by scholars, Candles of Leng can occasionally be purchased from Lengi traders when they descend from their plateau. Rumors say that those who spend too long in the candle's light sometimes disappear as well.

Cauldron of Brewing
Wondrous item, uncommon
This cast-iron cauldron was created specifically to accommodate the precise and delicate science of potion-making.
The cauldron heats itself to the precise temperature the user demands of it, and does so without any apparent source of heat. When in use, the cauldron will gently hum, causing the contents to swirl and mix together. This cauldron cannot make itself hotter than a regular iron cauldron heated by a flame could.

Censer of Sleep
Wondrous Item, rare
A small, decorated censer, inscribed with a potent enchantment spell.
When the user takes 1 minute to ignite at least 250GP worth of fine incense in the censer, it will begin to release smoke that acts as a powerful sedative. Creatures within 20 feet of the censer are affected in ascending order of their current hit points. Roll 9d8 for a total number of hit points that can be affected. Each creature affected by the smoke falls unconscious as though under the effects of the sleep spell. For every additional 300GP worth of incense used, the amount of hit points will increase by 1d8, to a maximum of 13d8. Creatures immune to poison are unaffected by the censer.

“Elephant Elephant Elephant”
Wondrous Item, legendary
This ivory statuette is infused with an Intelligence dampening effect that replaces all spoken words with the language of elephants. This magical effect has a 30 foot radius, and can only be blocked by effects similar to antimagic field. The item can only replace languages that have previously been spoken in its presence, but over time it can recognize and suppress more languages. DMs can use discretion on which languages this item begins with.
It is theorized that Illithids created this as a way to prevent prisoner communication.

Fire Gourd
Wondrous item, uncommon
This gourd is filled with a strong, naturally flammable, spirit.
As an action, you can take a drink from the gourd and exhale fire in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Due to the potency of the liquid, you must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, or be poisoned for 1 minute. You can continue to use the gourd on successive turns, but each failed save after the first one will cause you to take 2d6 poison damage. After three failed saves, you will suffer as though you are under the effects of the confusion spell. The gourd has enough liquor in it for 1d4+3 uses.

Hand of Glory
Wondrous item, rare
This macabre candle is made of a shriveled, mummified hand with wicks in the place of fingernails.
After lighting one of the fingers, the spirit of the remains will appear to fulfill the desires of whomever lit the candle. The spirit can act as a spy, answer questions or act as a familiar in combat (use stats like a ghost from the Monster Manual). However, the spirit will only linger so long as the finger-candle is lit (about 30 minutes). Once all five fingers have been burned, the Hand of Glory ceases to be magical.

Reveal the Path. When you are at a crossroad, or at a choice of which way to turn, you can hold the lantern by the end of the chain, and expend 1 charge. The lantern will slowly turn on its chain until it rests, facing the direction that must be followed in order to reach the attuned location. If more than one route would lead to the attuned location, the lantern will slowly swing between the alternatives.

Wondrous item, rare
This complicated array of clockwork throbs slightly as if it is organic.
Ticking. You can listen to irregular, off-beat ticking of this machine and make a DC 10 Intelligence saving throw. On a successful save, you gain a random piece of information.

Obsidian Obelisk
Wondrous item, artifact, (requires special attunement)
This 6-foot tall obelisk is made of smooth, black stone, and weighs well over 10,000 lbs. The obelisk is always slightly warmer than the ambient temperature. This obelisk seems impervious to magic that alters its weight, shape or other physical properties.
Attunement requires that you touch the obelisk while there are no other creatures attuned to it. If there is another creature currently attuned to the obelisk, the creature with the highest Intelligence score will become attuned. Only one creature can be attuned to the obelisk at a time. Leaving the 1 mile radius of the obelisk will end attunement.
Uplift. While someone is attuned to the obelisk, every sunrise, the obelisk will target a random plant or creature within one mile of the obelisk. That creature or plant is awakened per the awaken spell. Creatures awakened in this manner are charmed by the person attuned to the obelisk, so long as they both stay within 1 mile of the obelisk. The person attuned to the obelisk always knows the location of charmed creatures or plants within 1 mile of the obelisk.
Guarding this obelisk are a host of different creatures and plants under the command of "The Teacher".

OMNIPEDIA
Wondrous item, rare
A small leather bound book with meager pages for its size. When this book is opened, a random tidbit of information can appear. You can continue to flip through infinitely, but you can not actually find what you want. The information contained inside can range from a recipe to an ancient map, in any language. To specifically find the information you're looking for, you must succeed a DC 17 Intelligence saving throw.
The book was crafted by an ambitious mage looking for all the information in the cosmos. If you look closely at the cover, you can see the author's name in faded letters. P--dd-e -o--er

Every creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d8 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The needles do not strike anyone standing directly beneath the parasol (you), or anyone else occupying your space. However, powerful gusts of wind, such as caused by the gust cantrip or the gust of wind spell can cause the parasol to fly awry. Once you use this property, you can't use it again until the next dawn.

The Patches of Closeness
Wondrous items, rare
Two cloth or leather patches that look like tabby kittens. One kitten "fuzzed-out" with an arched back, as though "angry". One kitten is curled into a peaceful ball with flexed paws, as though "happy". Both patches have an adhesive substance on them that will cause them to stick once applied to a surface.
Kitty Friends. Once the patches are both applied to a surface, they will become magically linked. Any touch range spell applied to one kitten will become applied to whatever the other kitten is stuck to. Once stuck, the kitties cannot be removed for at least 1 hour, or by means of oil of slipperiness or by means of wish. The kitties recharge their stickiness every night at midnight.
Happy Kitty. Any healing spell applied to the "angry" kitty will become amplified when it is received by the "happy" kitty (the creature healed is the one that the "happy" kitty is stuck to). All dice rolled for healing are doubled.
Angry Kitty. Any damaging spell that is applied to the "happy" kitty will become amplified when it is received by the "angry" kitty (the creature damaged is the one that the "angry" kitty is stuck to). All dice rolled for damage are doubled.
The patches were originally woven by a brilliant wizard who was unfortunately terrible at aiming.

Pettigrieux's Horn of Cornucopia
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
The Horn of Cornucopia is a spiral horn of a giant goat or bighorn sheep with a flat silver strip on its base to hold it standing upright so the open end faces upward.

Veganistic. During a short rest, you can utter this command word to produce a bountiful feast of grains, flours, flowers, fruits, legumes, nuts and vegetables. Food of this nature will continue to pour forth from the horn until there is a sufficient quantity to feast every creature within your line of sight. The horn will attempt to honor the intentions of the speaker, and produce food that the speaker reasonably believes to be nutritious or desirable to the creatures they are providing for. The horn will attempt to avoid producing foods that are known to be allergens or toxic. After use, this horn has a 5% chance of becoming unusable for 1 week.

Chug-a-lug. During a short rest, upon saying the command word, the horn will begin to gently pour forth a liquid. The liquid will continue to pour forth until every cup within line of sight has been filled. The nature of the liquid poured forth is determined by whatever liquid last filled this horn. Eg. if the horn was last filled with heated spring water, it will pour out heated spring water, if it was last filled with chilled wine, it will pour out chilled wine. Poisoned or otherwise dangerous liquids will be poured forth as harmless rainwater. After use, this horn has a 5% chance of becoming unusable for 1 week.

Saphalja's Amulet
Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement)

Dormant. While attuned to this amulet, you gain resistance to fire damage and have advantage on saving throws caused by a dragon's frightful presence ability.
Awakened. This amulet can be awakened by attaching another type of dragon scale to one of the empty clasps. When this happens, you gain resistance to the damage type associated with the dragon the scale came from. If you remove scales from the chain, you will lose those resistances. You retain all bonuses granted by the dormant form of the amulet.
Exalted. You retain all the bonuses granted by the dormant and awakened forms of this amulet. Additionally, you gain the blood of dragons ability.
Blood of Dragons. You gain a single point of legendary resistance like that of true dragons. Additionally, when you use this resistance, your draconic heritage manifests fully, granting you a +2 bonus to your AC and immunity to the damage type associated with your draconic bloodline. This effect lasts for 1 minute. Once used, you can't use this property again until you finish a long rest.
The exalted form of this necklace should only be unlockable by a dragonblood sorcerer, or arguably, a Dragonborn. A DM should construct some sort of personal quest for the character that is seeking this form of the amulet.

Stitcher of Monsters
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
This needle has brown stains that cannot be washed off. Odd, spectral strings trail behind it, but fail to hold anything, except dead flesh, together.
Dark Needlework. You can sew the bodies of creatures together with this, with a maximum of 3 creatures up to a maximum size of large. The sewing takes one hour per creature involved. The result is a stitched-up magical undead familiar under your control. Your familiar will follow all the normal rules of familiars, however, it cannot recover health. If you become de-attuned to the needle, your familiar will become enraged and attack the nearest creature.
HP: The combined hit points of all the creatures that were used to create the thing.
Speed: The average speed of all three creatures involved.
AC: 13+ Dexterity bonus.
Strength: The highest Strength score of the creatures used.
Constitution: The highest Constitution score of the creatures used.
Dexterity: The highest Dexterity score of the creatures used.
Wisdom: 8
Intelligence: 6
Charisma: 3
Attacks. The creator can decide to take one attack from each of the creatures involved, and use them as the attacks of the thing. An example would be the bite of a lion, the hooves of a horse, and a stab from a goblin (if it has a sword). The hit bonus should be the Dexterity or Strength bonus +3.
Curse. If you die while attuned to this needle, it will immediately begin sewing your body together with the nearest other corpse. After 1 hour, your corpse will rise as a hostile, undead abomination that has been combined with whatever you were sewn to. Only wish or reincarnate will resurrect you after this has occurred. Using dispel magic targeted at the needle within 1 minute of your death will cause the needle to be disabled until the next sunrise. The needle will not give up attempting to stitch nearby corpses together until you are no longer dead, or until someone else attunes to it to grant directions.
This needle was found dangling off the body of a horrific thing in the basement of a missing wizard's laboratory.

Stone of Satoshi
Wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement)
The Stone of Satoshi is a gem about the size of a baseball. One half of the gem is bright red, as though carved out of a large ruby; the other half is clear, like a diamond. The Stone is used to capture unwilling souls for use as a spellcasting aid. There is no limit to the number of souls that can simultaneously reside within the stone. A soul captured within the stone can be released by your express will, or it can be transmuted. Otherwise, a soul cannot escape the stone unless by means of wish. Upon finding the stone, there are three souls trapped within; Satoshi himself (CR 16), and his two final victims (2x CR 7).
Capture Soul. When the stone of Satoshi is used as an arcane focus, it grants the knowledge of the capture soul cantrip (see below). This cantrip does not count against the total number of cantrips known. A body that is left behind after a soul has been pulled into the stone of Satoshi should be treated as a normal corpse that will begin to rot.
Transmute Soul. As a bonus action, you can transmute a soul that has been captured by the stone, and generate charges for the stone. This process will irrevocably destroy that soul, and make reincarnation impossible without the aid of wish. If all of the souls within the stone of Satoshi are released or transmuted, your own soul will be drawn into the stone.
Target CR | Charges Gained |
---|---|
> 5 | 1 |
6 - 10 | 1d4 |
11-15 | 1d6 |
16-18 | 2d6 |
18-19 | 2d6 +3 |
20 | 3d6 +3 |
> 20 | d100 +10 |
Inequivalent Exchange. As a bonus action, you can convert charges of The Stone into spell slots (of any level available to you), according to the following chart.
Charges | Number of Spell Slots Gained |
---|---|
1 | 1 |
6 | 1d4 |
11 | 1d6 |
16 | 2d6 |
18 | 2d6 +3 |
20 | 3d6 +3 |
21 | d100 +10 |
Voices of the Imprisoned. You can communicate with any soul that has been captured within The Stone, but the souls within The Stone are under no obligation to communicate with you. Insight checks against these souls are done at a disadvantage.
Capture Soul
Necromancy cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet from Stone of Satoshi
- Components: V, S, M (Stone of Satoshi must be present)
- Duration: Instantaneous
The caster makes a Charisma-based spell attack against a single, sapient target. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a success, nothing happens. On a failure, the target's soul is captured by the Stone of Satoshi. If the target has more than ¼ of their maximum health remaining, they have advantage on this saving throw. If the target is at least challenge rating 16, and succeeds on this saving throw, the caster must roll d100; on 6 or less, the caster’s own soul becomes trapped within the Stone of Satoshi. A lich that still has an active phylactery will automatically succeed this saving throw.
by u/PantherophisNiger
Urn of Shadows
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
This large pewter urn is painted with a black and green glaze that reeks of necromantic magic. The runes are indecipherable, except for specially chosen servants of Gruumsh.
Shadow Theft. As an action, you can attempt to steal a creature's shadow within 60 feet that you can see (Note, you must be able to see and distinguish the shadow, not the creature). A creature attacked in this manner must make a DC 16 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, their shadow is permanently sucked into the urn.
Dark Transformation. The urn will slowly transform any stolen shadows into a shadow (Monster Manual page 269). This process takes 1 week. The urn can store up to ten shadows at once.
Power of Darkness. As an action, you can release the seal on the urn, and summon all of the shadows stored inside. The shadows are hostile to all creatures, except for you. They act on their own turn in combat, and follow their own will. If the urn is broken, all of the shadows inside will leak out, and become hostile to everyone. If the urn is left empty for 1 week, it will steal your shadow. If you have no shadow, the urn will devour your soul.
The Urn of Shadows is a dark relic passed down from elder to elder in a certain shamanistic orc tribe who terrorize the plains of Drall. It thirsts for darkness.
