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.

Wondrous Item, uncommon (requires attunement by a creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher)

This crystal grants you telepathy for as long as you remain attuned to it. See the introduction of the Monster Manual for rules on how this telepathy works.

The crystal also glows with a purplish inner light while you are attuned to it.

The higher your intelligence, the greater the light’s intensity and the greater the range of the telepathy (see the Psi Crystal Properties table).

FIGURINE OF WONDEROUS POWER: IVORY GOATS
Wondrous item, (rarity varies by figurine)

A figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn't enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn't become a creature.

The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions. See the Monster Manual for the creature's statistics.

The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can't be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine's description. This item is found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Ivory Goats (Rare). These ivory statuettes of goats are always created in sets of three. Each goat looks unique and functions differently from the others. Their properties are as follows

The goat of traveling can become a Large goat with the same statistics as a riding horse. It has 24 charges, and each hour or portion thereof it spends in beast form costs 1 charge. While it has charges, you can use it as often as you wish. When it runs out of charges, it reverts to a figurine and can't be used again until 7 days have passed, when it regains all its charges.
The goat of travail becomes a giant goat for up to 3 hours. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 30 days have passed.
The goat of terror becomes a giant goat for up to 3 hours. The goat can't attack, but you can remove its horns and use them as weapons. One horn becomes a +1 lance, and the other becomes a +2 longsword. Removing a horn requires an action, and the weapons disappear and the horns return when the goat reverts to figurine form. In addition, the goat radiates a 30-foot-radius aura of terror while you are riding it. Any creature hostile to you that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the goat for 1 minute, or until the goat reverts to figurine form. The frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once it successfully saves against the effect, a creature is immune to the goat's aura for the next 24 hours. Once the figurine has been used, it can't be used again until 15 days have passed.

Your team's display of skills has earned you the favour of Sir Dodge, ruler of the Under-Court. Each member of your team has been awarded a three-headed goat trophy, which can be disassembled into three individual pieces. While you carry this trophy, you can hear that familiar satyr referee shout "Dodgeball!" at the first signs of trouble, granting you a +2 bonus to your initiative if you aren't incapacitated

You have a +2 bonus to AC while wearing this armor.

Made from tough but flexible leather, studded leather is reinforced with close-set rivets or spikes.

Notes: Bonus: Armor Class, Combat, Warding

Cloak of Displacement
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

While you wear this cloak, it projects an Illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual Location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on Attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are Incapacitated, Restrained, or otherwise unable to move.

+1 to attack and damage

Requires Attunement

While wearing this cloak, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. In an area of dim light or darkness, you can grip the edges of the cloak with both hands and use it to fly at a speed of 40 feet. If you ever fail to grip the cloak's edges while flying in this way, or if you are no longer in dim light or darkness, you lose this flying speed.

While wearing the cloak in an area of dim light or darkness, you can use your action to cast polymorph on yourself, transforming into a bat. While you are in the form of the bat, you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. The cloak can't be used this way again until the next dawn.

Cli Lyre
Wondrous item, rare (requires Attunement by a bard)

An Instrument of the bards is an exquisite example of its kind, superior to an Ordinary Instrument in every way. Seven types of these Instruments exist, each named after a legendary Bard College. The following table lists the Spells Common to all Instruments, as well as the Spells specific to each one and its Rarity. A creature that attempts to play the Instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 psychic damage.

You can use an Action to play the Instrument and cast one of its Spells. Once the Instrument has been used to Cast a Spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The Spells use your Spellcasting ability and spell save DC.

You can play the Instrument while Casting a Spell that causes any of its Targets to be Charmed on a failed saving throw, thereby imposing disadvantage on the save. This Effect applies only if the spell has a somatic or a material component.

Spells: Fly, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection from evil and good, Stone Shape, Wall of Fire, Wind Wall

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.

Wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the fireball spell (save DC 15) from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 3rd-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend.
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 crumbles into ashes and is destroyed. This item is found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Attuning to the wand only takes 1 minute. It is made of opalescent crystal that is faintly warm to the touch. The wand turns blood red whenever its wielder gets angry.

Rod, rare (requires attunement)

You can use an action to present the rod and command obedience from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you. Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 8 hours. While charmed in this way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader. If harmed by you or your companions, or commanded to do something contrary to its nature, a target ceases to be charmed in this way. The rod can't be used again until the next dawn.
This ornate wooden rod is a dark green hue, about two and a half feet in length. The head of the rod is a circular, heavy scepter head, with green banding and rubies interlaid into a gold crown. The base of the rod is a gold-leafed leather pommel with a tassel.

Cloak of the Manta Ray (Wondrous item, uncommon)

While wearing this cloak with its hood up, you can breathe underwater, and you have a swimming speed of 60 feet. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.

This item is found in the Basic Rules.

This cloak is made from a spotted goat skin with the fur still on.

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.

Mirror of the past
Wondrous Item, rare
The holder of this platinum hand mirror can learn something about the history of a specific object or creature by taking an action to gaze into the mirror and think of the target. Instead of the holder’s reflection, the mirror presents scenes from the target’s past. Information conveyed is accurate, but it is random and cryptic, and presented in no particular order. Once it is activated, the mirror gives its information for 1 minute or less, then returns to normal. It can’t be used again until the next dawn.
This item is found in Tales from the Yawning Portal.
The rim of this circular mirror is engraved with Draconic letters, which spells out the following sentence in Loross: “Look into me, and I will show you what has been.”

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. Flavour: Laughing’s cruelty echoes in the cold iron of this chain. It coils around one’s forearms and provides magical protection, but the chain’s touch taints the wearer’s thoughts with selfishness and malevolence.

Silver Horn of Valhalla
Wondrous item, rare

You can use an action to blow this horn. In response, warrior spirits from the plane of Ysgard appear within 60 feet of you. These spirits use the berserker statistics from the Monster Manual. They return to Ysgard after 1 hour or when they drop to 0 hit points. Once you use the horn, it can’t be used again until 7 days have passed.

Four types of horn of Valhalla are known to exist, each made of a different metal. The horn’s type determines how many berserkers answer its summons, as well as the requirement for its use. The DM chooses the horn’s type or determines it randomly.

If you blow the horn without meeting its requirement, the summoned berserkers attack you. If you meet the requirement, they are friendly to you and your companions and follow your commands.

d100 Horn Type Berserkers Summoned Requirement
01-40 Silver 2d4+2 None
41-75 Brass 3d4+3 Proficiency with all simple weapons
76-90 Bronze 4d4+4 Proficiency with all medium armor
91-00 Iron 5d4+5 Proficiency with all martial weapons

Rod of the Pact Keeper +2
Rod, rare (requires attunement by a warlock)

While holding this rod, you gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your warlock spells.

In addition, you can regain one warlock spell slot as an action while holding the rod. You can’t use this property again until you finish a long rest.
