Cloak of Displacement
(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.

Azalea Moonvine gets a Tier 1 adventure reward (=Instrument of Illusions) +250gp

Silver Pan Flute (Instrument of Illusions)
Wonderous Item, Common (Requires Attunement)

While you are playing this musical instrument, you can create harmless, illusory visual effects within a 5-foot radius of the instrument. If you are a bard, the radius increases to 15 feet. Sample visual effects include luminous musical notes, a spectral dancer, butterflies, and gently falling snow. The magical effects have neither substance nor sound, and they are obviously illusory. The effects end when you stop playing.
This item can be found in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.

This silver pan flute is carved with the phases of the moon. Instead of butterflies, it produces images of Luna moths.

+250 gp

Eldritch Claw Tattoo
Wondrous item (tattoo), uncommon (requires attunement)

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo depicts clawlike forms and other jagged shapes.
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 Strikes.

While the tattoo is on your skin, your unarmed strikes are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks, and you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes.
Eldritch Maul.

As a bonus action, you can empower the tattoo for 1 minute. For the duration, each of your melee attacks with a weapon or an unarmed strike can reach a target up to 15 feet away from you, as inky tendrils launch toward the target. In addition, your melee attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit. Once used, this bonus action can't be used again until the next dawn.

The eldritch power surging through the tattoo has a limited sentience, giving this particular tattoo the Minor Property – Guardian: The item whispers warnings to itsbearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.

The constant whispering, though unheard by anyone but the bearer, can become extremely annoying, leading some previous bearers to abandon it, or worse, go mad

gets a Tier 2 adventure reward (= Flame Tongue Greatsword) + 2500 gp

Flame Tongue Greatsword
Weapon, 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.

Heavy. Creatures that are Small or Tiny have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large for a Small or Tiny creature to use effectively.
Two-Handed.

This weapon requires two hands to use. This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it.

Veil of Shadows (Veil) gets a Tier 2 adventure reward (= Shadowfell Brand Tattoo) + 2500 gp

Shadowfell Brand Tattoo
Wondrous item (tattoo), rare (requires attunement)

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo is dark in color and abstract.

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.

Shadow Essence. You gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

Shadowy Defense. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to become insubstantial for a moment, halving the damage you take. Then the reaction can't be used again until the next sunset.

gets a Tier 2 adventure reward (= Opal of the Ild Rune) + 2500 gp

Opal of the Ild Rune
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This triangular fire opal measures about three inches on each side and is half an inch thick. The ild (fire) rune shimmers within its core, causing it to be slightly warm to the touch. The opal has the following properties, which work only while it's on your person.
Ignite.

-As an action, you can ignite an object within 10 feet of you. The object must be flammable, and the fire starts in a circle no larger than 1 foot in diameter.
Fires Friend.

-You have resistance to cold damage.
Fire Tamer.

-As an action, you can extinguish any open flame within 10 feet of you. You choose how much fire to extinguish in that radius.
Gift of Flame.

You can transfer the opal's magic to a nonmagical item—a weapon or a suit of armor—by tracing the ild rune there with your finger. The transfer takes 8 hours of work that requires the two items to be within 5 feet of each other. At the end, the opal is destroyed, and the rune appears in red on the chosen item, which gains a benefit based on its form:

• Weapon. The weapon is now an uncommon magic weapon. It deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to any target it hits.

• Armor. The armor is now a rare magic item that requires attunement. You have resistance to cold damage while wearing the armor.
