Magic Items

Fabric of Time (Guardian Mantle of Spell Resistance)

Wondrous item, rare (requires Attunement)

You have advantage on saving throws against spells while you wear this cloak. This silvery scrap fashioned from a piece of Momentum itself struggles to contain history within the length of its fabric, and the ever-fraying threads of the mantle are never quite the same from moment to moment. The strands pull free of each other before eventually knitting back together, but the exquisite workmanship of this vintage cloak remains intact. Minor Property (Guardian) The item whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn’t incapacitated. Quirk (Frail) The item crumbles, frays, chips, or cracks slightly when wielded, worn, or activated. This quirk has no effect on its properties, but if the item has seen much use, it looks decrepit.

ENLIGHTENMENT (LANGUAGE WAND OF PYROTECHNICS / NETHERESE: LOROSS*)

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.

Formed out of glowing lines of light that constantly shift into new configurations, this orange wand is compact and fits neatly in the palm of your hand. The lines occasionally form into runic symbols from some long-dead language, but these seem impossible to decipher.

Minor Property (Language - Netherese: Loross*)

The bearer can speak and understand a language of the DM’s choice while the item is on the bearer’s person.

*As the Domain of Delight of Momentum is formed from major and minor historical moments, Loross from the Netheril Empire is suggested as a suitably ancient language for this Minor Property.

Quirk (Metamorphic) The item periodically and randomly alters its appearance in slight ways. The bearer has no control over these minor alterations, which have no effect on the item’s use.

Quor'hin's Hat (Hat of Wizardry)

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. In either case, you can't use this property again until you finish a long rest.

This item is found in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.

This pirate hat was once worn by Captain Quor’hin of the githyanki Space Galleon Kur’Rakesh. Made of dark purple fabric and trimmed with silver lace, the hat is both a fashion statement and a useful item for any enterprising wizard, all rolled up into one..

Hidden Message. A message is hidden somewhere on the item. It might be visible only at a certain time of the year, under the light of one phase of the moon, or in a specific location.

Golden Apple (Astromancy Archive)

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a wizard)

This brass disc of articulated, concentric rings unfolds into an armillary sphere. As a bonus action, you can unfold it into the sphere or back into a disc. When found, it contains the following spells, which are wizard pells for you while you are attuned to it: augury, divination, find the path, foresight, locate creature, and ocate object. It functions as a spellbook for you, with spells encoded on the rings.

While you are holding the archive, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.

The archive has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use the charges in the following ways while holding it:

If you spend 1 minute studying the archive, you can expend 1 charge to replace one of your prepared wizard spells with a different spell in the archive. The new spell must be of the divination school.

When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge and force the creature to roll a d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the original roll. You can do this after you see the roll but before its effects are applied.

This item is found in the Dungeon Masters Guide.

Created by the astral elves of the Paradise Moon, the leaves of the Golden Apple are made of brilliantly colored crystals, grown in the Crystal Grove of the Hesperides Temple. So that the adventurers may carry the Song of the Hesperides with them wherever they travel, whenever spells are cast through the item, its crystal leaves resonate against one another, ‘echoing’ a tiny portion of the ancient song back to its wielder.

Song Craft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, its bearer hears a fragment of an ancient song.

Smokepowder

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, and a keg holds enough smokepowder for five hundred shots.

If smokepowder is set on fire, dropped, or otherwise handled roughly, it explodes and deals fire damage to each creature or object within 20 feet of it: 1d6 for a packet, 9d6 for a keg. 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.

Note: Smokepowder is awarded in a packet of five shots and includes bullets. While the bullets are not magical, in this instance they are included with the smokepowder. To simplify accounting deduct 6 gp (the cost of 20 bullets) from the portable item budget when awarding this consumable.

Amulet of the Devout +1
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires Attunement by a Cleric or paladin)

This Amulet bears the Symbol of a deity inlaid with precious stones or metals. While you wear the holy Symbol, you gain a +1 bonus to spell Attack rolls and the saving throw DCs of your Spells.

While you wear this Amulet, you can use your Channel Divinity feature without expending one of the feature's uses. Once this property is used, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

Scribe’s Chime of Unsealing (Chime of Opening)
Wondrous item, rare

This hollow metal tube measures about 1 foot long and weighs 1 pound. As a Magic action, you can strike the chime to cast Knock. The spell's customary knocking sound is replaced by the clear, ringing tone of the chime, which is audible out to 300 feet. The chime can be used 10 times. After the tenth time, it cracks and becomes useless.

Key. When struck before the crypt gate, the chime’s tone harmonizes with the door’s iron like two tuning forks. Dust motes spiral into neat lines as the bar unlatches itself, as if “correcting” an indexing error.

Appearance. A foot-long, hollow rod of dark electrum etched with ledger lines and a tiny slashed eye near one end. Inside rattles a thin bone sliver that never quite touches the metal—until struck.

How it works (flavor). The tone “re-indexes” the mechanism you target—locks forget they were shut, seals misfile their own bindings, and wards briefly accept you as the proper entry in their ledger.

Quirks (cosmetic only).

• While the tone rings, nearby writing straightens as if proofread.

• Keys on your belt vibrate faintly in harmony.

• If used on a container holding a written secret, the tone briefly harmonizes into a whispered note only the user hears (no information given—just a chill).

Lore. Cult scribes of the Eldritch Eye carried these to “correct” doors that refused to open. Helm’s faithful claim they’re dishonest keys; Vecna’s call them proper citations.

The Pupil of the Forgotten (Ersatz Eye) - Purified
Wondrous item, common

This magical eye replaces a real one that was lost or removed. While the Ersatz Eye is embedded in your eye socket, you can see through the tiny orb as though it were your natural eye. You can insert or remove the Ersatz Eye as a Magic action, and it can't be removed against your will while you are alive.

Guardian.
A heartbeat before danger, the smoky iris tightens and a cold page-turn whispers in your ear. Your hand moves before your mind does (+2 initiative while you’re not incapacitated).

Appearance. A tiny, polished orb of smoked glass with a hair-thin slashed-eye sigil drifting inside like an inclusion. Held to the light, faint letters ripple across its surface and vanish.

Story. Forged by scribes of the Eldritch Eye to “complete the face of a witness,” these replacements are traded as alms to the maimed—and as favors to those who prefer to see without being seen.

Cosmetic Manifestations (choose 1–2).

• When you focus, a faint ink ring halos the iris for a heartbeat.

• In deep darkness, the eye catches the softest glint like wet ink, though it sheds no light.

Whispers & Quirks (narrative only).

• Mirrors sometimes blur written names behind you.

• Cats and ravens seem unusually interested in your new eye.

Aegis of Hallwinter, Helm’s Last Vigil (Shield of the Cavalier)
Shield (shield), very rare (requires attunement)

While holding this Shield, you have a +2 bonus to Armor Class. This bonus is in addition to the Shield's normal bonus to AC.

The Shield has the following additional properties that you can use while holding it.

Forceful Bash. When you take the Attack, you can make one of the attack rolls using the Shield against a target within 5 feet of yourself. Apply your Proficiency Bonus and Strength modifier to the attack roll. On a hit, the Shield deals Force damage to the target equal to 2d6 + 2 plus your Strength modifier, and if the target is a creature, you can push it up to 10 feet directly away from yourself. If the creature is your size or smaller, you can also knock it down, giving it the Prone condition.

Protective Field. As a Reaction, when you or an ally you can see within 5 feet of you is targeted by an attack or makes a saving throw against an area of effect, you can use the Shield to create an immobile 5-foot Emanation originating from you. When the Emanation appears, any creatures or objects not fully contained within it are pushed into the nearest unoccupied spaces outside it. The attack or area of effect that triggered the Reaction has no effect on creatures and objects inside the Emanation, which lasts as long as you maintain Concentration, up to 1 minute. Nothing can pass into or out of the Emanation. A creature or object inside the Emanation can't be damaged by attacks or effects originating from outside, nor can a creature inside the Emanation damage anything outside it. Once this property is used, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

War Leader.
You plant the rim and speak; Helm’s gauntlet glows, shaping your voice into a clear command that carries six hundred feet through wind and stone. To allies it sounds like a captain’s call; to foes, a gate slamming shut.

Once borne by Chanelle Hallwinter, Paladin of Helm and Knight of Helm’s Hold.

Appearance. A broad kite shield of dusk-steel trimmed in bright electrum. At its heart is Helm’s open gauntlet in high relief; fourteen tiny star-studs ring the emblem. The rim bears a pale nick every few inches where undead teeth once struck and slipped. Despite the crypt’s corruption, the metal is untarnished; cool to the touch, it smells faintly of incense and rain on stone.

Inscription (inner boss).
“Stand. See. Suffer not the innocent to fall.” — C. Hallwinter

Attunement Rite (flavor only).
Kneel, rest the shield upright, and lay your palm in the gauntlet. Speak any vow of watchfulness. The studs glow soft silver, and a calm pressure settles over your chest like a mailed hand.
Hallwinter’s Legacy

" Why it resisted corruption. The shield carries an enduring blessing of Helm placed during the Siege of the Chasm. In Chanelle’s sarcophagus, it quenched necrotic seepage like rain on coals; undead that pressed close left teeth-scores on the rim but never breached the vigil."

• Neverwinter’s heroine. Chanelle Hallwinter held the Blacklake line for three nights while citizens evacuated to the Enclave. Witnesses said she never blinked—the visor of her helm down, the hand of Helm “resting” on her shoulder.

  • Helm’s sign. When a creature threatens a protected ally, a faint eye-slit of light appears across the shield’s gauntlet.

  Table manifestations:
  - When you succeed on a save, the sound of a gate bar dropping echoes softly.
  - While you maintain the Protective Field, motes of silver dust drift like snow and melt on the dome.

Steel
Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement by a good-aligned creature)

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

Revivify. You can use an action to cast the revivify spell from the sword. You must touch the target with the sword to cast the spell. Once this property of the weapon is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Sentience. Steel is a sentient, lawful good longsword with an Intelligence of 8, a Wisdom of 11, and a Charisma of 15. It can see and hear out to a range of 60 feet. The sword can speak, read, and understand Common and Draconic. It frets over your well-being while you are attuned to it, and it doesn’t like to back down from a fight.

Scimitar +3
Weapon, very rare

You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.

The wooden hilt is covered with a pattern resembling a snake's scales. Two staring eyes are carved on the pommel, and the pupils are set with emeralds. The emeralds flash with a green spark of light whenever this weapon strikes a foe.

Flame Tongue (Shortsword)
Weapon (Shortsword), rare (requires attunement)

You can use a bonus action to speak this magic sword's command word, causing flames to erupt from the blade.
These flames shed bright light in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet.
While the sword is ablaze, it deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits.
The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or sheathe the sword.
Feature: This sword, forged from a shard of glistening obsidian, appears solid and unbending, like the ground itself. The blade shifts slowly when set ablaze, as though its surface were gently flowing lava.

Adamantine Armor
Armor (Splint), uncommon

This suit of armor is reinforced with adamantine, one of the hardest substances in existence.

While you're wearing it, any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.

Cloak of Arachnida
Wondrous Item, very Rare (Requires Attunement)

This fine garment is made of black silk interwoven with faint silvery threads. While wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

You have resistance to poison damage.
You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.
You can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free.
You can't be caught in webs of any sort and can move through webs as if they were difficult terrain.
You can use an action to cast the web spell (save DC 13). The web created by the spell fills twice its normal area.Once used, this property of the cloak can't be used again until the next dawn.

Shield of Missile Attraction
Armor (shield, rare (requires attunement))

While holding this shield, you have resistance to damage from ranged weapon attacks.

Curse. This shield is cursed. Attuning to it curses you until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic. Removing the shield fails to end the curse on you. Whenever a ranged weapon attack is made against a target within 10 feet of you, the curse causes you to become the target instead.

A shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand. Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.

Gem of Brightness
Wondrous item, uncommon

This prism has 50 Charges. While you are holding it, you can use an action to speak one of three Command words to cause one of the following effects:

The first Command word causes the gem to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. This Effect doesn’t expend a charge. It lasts until you use a Bonus Action to repeat the Command word or until you use another function of the gem.
The second Command word expends 1 charge and causes the gem to fire a brilliant beam of light at one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become Blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, Ending the Effect on itself on a success.
The third Command word expends 5 Charges and causes the gem to flare with Blinding Light in a 30-foot cone originating from it. Each creature in the cone must make a saving throw as if struck by the beam created with the second Command word.
When all of the gem’s Charges are expended, the gem becomes a nonmagical jewel worth 50 gp.

Mithral Plate Armor
Heavy armor, minor tier, 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.

Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body.

Treasure. Ghoriliath wears a suit of mithral plate emblazoned with an unblinking, lidless eye in the center of the breastplate.

These furred boots are snug and feel quite warm. While you wear them, you gain the following benefits:
