Magic Items

Illuminator’s Tattoo
Wondrous item (tattoo), common (requires attunement)
Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo features
beautiful calligraphy, images of writing implements, and
the like.

Tattoo Attunement. To attune to this item, you hold the
needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear,
pressing the needle there throughout the attunement
process. When the attunement is complete, the needle
turns into the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears
on the skin.

If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes,
and the needle reappears in your space.

Magical Scribing. While this tattoo is on your skin, you
can write with your fingertip as if it were an ink pen that
never runs out of ink.

As an action, you can touch a pierce of writing up to one
page in length and speak a creature’s name. The writing
becomes invisible to everyone other than you and the
named creature for the next 24 hours. Either of you can
dismiss the invisibility by touching the script (no action
required). Once used, this action can’t be used again until
the next dawn.

This helm is made from the skull of a white dragon wyrmling.
This fearsome helm makes your eyes glow red while you wear it.

Wand of Pyrotechnics (wand, common)

This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges and create a harmless burst of multicolored light at a point you can see up to 60 feet away. The burst of light is accompanied by a crackling noise that can be heard up to 300 feet away. The light is as bright as a torch flame but lasts only a second.

The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand erupts in a harmless pyrotechnic display and is destroyed.

This item is found in the Xanathar's Guide to Everything

This wand looks like it once upon a time was a branch and got carvings that looks like a child tried to adorn it with animals, flowers and patterns.

Wondrous item, common (requires attunement)

This musical instrument has 3 charges. While you are playing it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge from the instrument and write a magical message on a nonmagical object or surface that you can see within 30 feet of you. The message can be up to six words long and is written in a language you know. If you are a bard, you can scribe an additional seven words and choose to make the message glow faintly, allowing it to be seen in nonmagical darkness. Casting dispel magic on the message erases it. Otherwise, the message fades away after 24 hours.

The instrument regains all expended charges daily at dawn.

This instrument is a flute made of whale bone.

Wondrous Item, Uncommon
Smokepowder is a magical explosive chiefly used to propel a bullet out of the barrel of a firearm. It is stored in airtight wooden kegs or tiny, waterproof leather packets. A packet contains enough smokepowder for five shots.
If smokepowder is set on fire, dropped, or otherwise handled roughtly, it explodes and deals fire damage to each creature or object within 20 feet of it: 1d6 for a packet. A successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw halves the damage.
Casting dispel magic on smokepowder renders it permanently inert. This item is found in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

Mithral Armor
Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon

Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version of the armor doesn’t.

This fine suit of armor has dwarven runes etched upon it. The runes describe the glories of great battles in the North against orcs. The armor glows faintly when within 100 feet of orcs.

These gloves seem to almost meld into your hands when you don them. When a ranged weapon attack hits you while you're wearing them, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d10 +your Dexterity modifier, provided that you have a free hand. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in that hand.

BRACERS OF DEFENSE Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement) While wearing these bracers, you gain a +2 bonus to AC if you are wearing no armor and using no shield.

Wicked. When the bearer is presented with an opportunity to act in a selfish or malevolent way, the item heightens the bearer’s urge to do so.
