Magic Items

Talking Doll
Wondrous item, common (requires attunement)

The puppet is a diminutive, porcelain-skinned replica of Lysandra—perfectly sculpted cheekbones, the same cascade of raven hair, but its beauty is forever frozen beneath a fine web of hairline cracks. Hollow glass eyes—one a shade too bright, the other ever so slightly askew—gleam with trapped candle-light, giving the unsettling impression that something inside is trying to peer out.

A tattered black wedding gown—stitched from funeral veils and midnight satin—clings to its frail wooden frame. Every hem is frayed as though moth-eaten by time, yet intricate silver embroidery still glitters like frost along the corset seams. Where a living bride would wear lace gloves, the puppet’s jointed fingers are bare maple, stained the color of old blood around the nails.

Most disturbing is the golden wedding band looped loosely around its right wrist—far too large to fit any finger, it slides and clinks with every jerky marionette twitch, an ironic mockery of vows never sworn. With each subtle movement, the dress sighs as if woven with whispers, and faint necromantic sigils pulse beneath the silk like bruises on pale skin. When the necromancer’s strings tug, the puppet’s cracked lips part in a silent laugh, and for an instant the bride of darkness seems poised to step out of her doll’s body and claim a life of her own.

Normal press (devoted yet unsettling)
“Wound me tighter, beloved master.”

Failsafe press (after the necromancer’s death – obsessive, ominous)
“Your heart has stopped; mine hunts. Death...won’t keep...us apart.”

Only the Necromancer can attune to this Item. Once he dies the failsafe activates and the message stays forever the same.

The Ring can be kept as a Trinket. Its inner is engraved with the following text: "LYSANDRA—MINE IN LIFE, MINE IN DEATH, MINE BEYOND THE LAST DAWN."

Staff, Rare (Requires Attunement by a Bard, Cleric, or Druid)

This staff has 10 charges. While holding the staff, you can cast one of the spells on the following table from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. The table indicates how many charges you must expend to cast the spell.

Spell Charge Cost
Cure Wounds
1 charge per spell level (maximum 4 for a level 4 spell)
Lesser Restoration
2
Mass Cure Wounds
5
Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever.

The smooth wood of this ordinary‐looking staff is pale, and streaked with multi‐colored veins. The staff is capped with a hollow, glass sphere that creates an illusory holy symbol of whichever deity the wielder worships. Luminescent butterflies flit around the staff’s cap and while in possession of the staff, the wielder feels fortunate and optimistic about what the future holds.

Weapon (Hand Crossbow), Rare

You have a +2 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

This hand crossbow looks to have seen better times. The wood is cracked and splintered and the string is heavily‐frayed. A large, blue feather hangs from the handgrip alongside a couple green, glass baubles. The crossbow whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.

Sentience. Nettle is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 14. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. Nettle speaks Common and Halfling.

Personality. Nettle is greedy and impetuous, and prefers that its wielder share these ideals. It demands to be better taken care of than its previous owners did. If its bearer is lawfully‐aligned, or if its bearer does not spend at least an hour each day tending to it (polishing, applying resin to the string, etc.), Nettle denies its bonuses to attack and damage rolls and initiative checks. It also shouts out insults to those nearby, imposing disadvantage on any Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) checks or Dexterity (Stealth) check that its wielder makes to move silently.

Wondrous item, common

While holding this 10-foot pole, you can use an action to
speak a command word and cause it to collapse into a 1-
foot-long rod, for ease of storage. The pole's weight doesn't
change. You can use an action to speak a different command
word and cause the rod to revert to a pole; however, the
rod will elongate only as far as the surrounding space
allows. This item is found in the Xanathar’s Guide to
Everything.

Sculpted along the shaft of this 1-foot-long rod made of
gray marble are two blue dragon wyrmlings fighting. When
this magic item reverts to a 10-foot pole, the rod splits in
half horizontally as it elongates, and a magical 9-foot long
crackling, harmless, black lightning connects both ends of
the pole.

Compass. The wielder can use an action to learn which
way is north.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action and
click the boots' heels together. If you do, the boots double
your walking speed, and any creature that makes an
opportunity attack against you has disadvantage on the
attack roll. If you click your heels together again, you end
the effect.

When the boots' property has been used for a total of 10
minutes, the magic ceases to function until you finish a long
rest. This item is found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
The boots are white in color and trimmed with gold.

While the effects of these boots are active, a bluish magical
illusion of a young human man wielding a glaive appears,
chasing you whenever you move, or distracting any
creature attempting to make an opportunity attack against
you.

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

This wooden broom functions like a mundane broom until you stand astride it and take a Magic action to make it hover beneath you, at which time it can be ridden in the air. It has a Fly Speed of 50 feet. It can carry up to 400 pounds, but its Fly Speed becomes 30 feet while carrying over 200 pounds. The broom stops hovering when you land or when you're no longer riding it.

As a Magic action, you can send the broom to travel alone to a destination within 1 mile of you if you name the location and are familiar with it. The broom comes back to you when you take a Magic action and use a command word if the broom is still within 1 mile of you.

This broom of flying is old and ratty and nothing to look at, however in addition to its normal command words, you may speak an additional one to have the broom start cleaning a 5ft radius on its own. Once that area is clear it moves to the next one until all surfaces are clean or you speak the command word.

Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)

While you wear this cloak, it magically 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 your Speed is 0.
