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.

In addition, you can use the sickle as a spellcasting focus for your druid and ranger spells.

When you cast a spell that restores hit points, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the amount of hit points restored, provided you are holding the sickle.

Staff, common
If you place an object weighing no more than 1 pound (such as a shard of crystal, an egg, or a stone) above the tip of the staff while holding it, the object floats an inch from the staff's tip and remains there until it is removed or until the staff is no longer in your possession. The staff can have up to three such objects floating over its tip at any given time. While holding the staff, you can make one or more of the objects slowly spin or turn in place. Flowering hop vines are entwined around the shaft of this light, pale wooden staff. No matter what object(s) float atop it, it smells like fresh hops

Weapon, common

Martial weapon, melee weapon
3 lb. 1d8 slashing - versatile (1d10)

In darkness, the unsheathed blade of this sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.
Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.

(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.

Amulet of Health (Wonderous Item, Rare, Requires Attunement)

This amulet made up of a bloodstone flanked by troll fangs. The cord that holds it is made of troll hide. Characters who wear this amulet tend to feel invincible when entering melee combat, but they have an aversion to fire. It’s almost as if they think they are vulnerable to fire.

Your Constitution score is 19 while you wear this amulet. It has no effect on you if your Constitution score is already 19 or higher.

(Wondrous Item, rare, requires attunement)

While wearing this belt, your Strength score changes to a score granted by the belt. The item has no effect on you if your Strength without the belt is equal to or greater than the belt’s score.Six varieties of this belt exist, corresponding with and having rarity according to the six kinds of true giants. The belt of stone giant strength and the belt of frost giant strength look different, but they have the same effect.

Wondrous item, common (requires attunement by a wizard)
This antiquated, cone—shaped hat is adorned with gold crescent moons and stars. While you are wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

You can use the hat as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.
You can try to cast a cantrip that you don't know. The cantrip must be on the wizard spell list, and you must make a DC 10 Intelligence (Arcana) check. If the check succeeds, you cast the spell. If the check fails, so does the spell, and the action used to cast the spell is wasted.

A number of Kwalish’s experiments were attempts to research the works of the legendary mage Heward,
who first crafted what he named hireling armor. While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. In
addition, the armor’s animated straps can assist with the drawing and sheathing of weapons, such that you
can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.

This armor also has six pockets, each of which is an extradimensional space. Each pocket can hold up to 20
pounds of material, not exceeding a volume of 2 cubic feet. The armor always weighs 10 pounds, regardless of its pockets’ contents. Placing an object into one of the armor’s pockets follows the normal rules for interacting with objects. Retrieving an item from a pocket of the armor requires you to use an action. When you reach into a pocket for a specific item, the item is always magically on top.

Placing the armor inside an extradimensional space created by a bag of holding, a Heward’s handy
haversack, or a similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate
originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked
through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes.

Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement)

Choose a magical bonus of +1 to +3. This sword gains that bonus to its attack and damage rolls. For each
point of bonus you choose for the sword, you take a corresponding penalty (−1 to −3) to your death saving
throws. You can change this magical bonus each day at dawn.

you wear the cursed armor, you gain the following properties:

• Aversion of Fire. If you take fire damage, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until
the end of your next turn.

• Berserk. Whenever a critical hit is made against you, roll a d6. On a 6, the armor causes you to go
berserk. On each of your turns while berserk, you attack the nearest creature you can see. If no creature
is near enough to move to and attack, you attack an object, with preference for an object smaller than
yourself. Once the armor causes you to go berserk, it cannot be removed. You continue to attack until you
are incapacitated or until another creature is able to calm you with appropriate magic (such as a calm
emotions spell) or a successful DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check.

You are fluent in one additional language while this pulsating bit of red jeweled crystal orbits your head. The DM chooses the language bestowed by the stone.

throw or be restrained and forced to make additional saves against being petrified, as above.

Wondrous Item, Legendary

This item first appears to be a sealed iron barrel weighing 500 pounds. The barrel has a hidden catch, which can be found with a successful DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Releasing the catch unlocks a hatch at one end of the barrel, allowing two Medium or smaller creatures to crawl inside. Ten levers are set in a row at the far end, each in a neutral position, able to move up or down. When certain levers are used, the apparatus transforms to resemble a giant lobster.

The Apparatus of Kwalish is a Large object with the following statistics: AC 20; HP 200; Speed 30 ft., Swim 30 ft. (or 0 ft. for both if the legs aren’t extended); Immunity to Poison and Psychic damage.

To be used as a vehicle, the apparatus requires one pilot. While the apparatus’s hatch is closed, the compartment is airtight and watertight. The compartment holds enough air for 10 hours of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.

The apparatus floats on water. It can also go underwater to a depth of 900 feet. Below that, the vehicle takes 2d6 Bludgeoning damage each minute from pressure.

A creature in the compartment can take a Utilize action to move as many as two of the apparatus’s levers up or down. After each use, a lever goes back to its neutral position. Each lever, from left to right, functions as shown in the Apparatus of Kwalish Levers table.

The staff has 20 charges for the following properties. The staff regains 2d8 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff retains its +2 bonus to attack and damage roll but loses all other properties. On a 20, the staff regain 1d8 + 2 charges.

You have a 50 percent chance to instantly travel to a random plane of existence, avoiding the explosion. If you fail to avoid the effect, you take force damage equal to 16 × the number of charges in the staff. Every other creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw.

On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage.
