Magic Items

Frost salamander flavor

This item is always chilly to the touch and, at first sight, appears to be a solid iron ball not unlike a large bearing. Closer inspection reveals fine lines that make up minutely elaborate whorls and swirls on the ball’s surface. Even closer inspection reveals short passages written in celestial runes. Anyone who can read celestial or who uses a comprehend languages spell (or an otherwise similar ability) discerns the following sentence—the sphere’s command phrase—in the writing: “Bind the Stinger to the floor and force the singer to sing no more.”

The blade of this elegantly curved elven longsword is made of the sharpest and coldest ice from the domain of Aesandoral the Ice Lord. With every strike, you can see blue streaks of icy light, As quick as the blizzard winds, it only takes one minute to attune. Its name is inscribed on its blade in Sylvan. The command phrase to activate it is "Long may winter reign."

You can use a bonus action to toss this magic sword into the air and speak the command word. When you do so, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it. The sword uses your attack roll and ability score modifier to damage rolls.

While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same bonus action, you can cause the sword to attack one creature within 5 feet of it.

After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you grasp it or move more than 30 feet away from it.

The surface of this icy armor is cold to the touch, with tendrils of frost decorating the metal. While wearing this, you have a keener understanding of duty and responsibility.

Despite the material it is made of, the temperature around you always remains comfortable, even in the hottest or coldest environments.

You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you wear this armor. You are considered proficient with this armor even if you lack Proficiency with Medium Armor.

When you drink this potion, you gain the "enlarge" effect of the enlarge/reduce spell for 1d4 hours (no concentration required). The red in the potion's liquid continuously expands from a tiny bead to color the clear liquid around it and then contracts. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.

This wand, created by the archfey Ananeira's research, releases miniature shooting stars. It can also provide light in the darkness. You can use a bonus action to shed bright moonlight in a 10-ft radius and dim light for another 10 ft.

A translucent amber gel coats the insides of this vial. It is thick and viscous while within the vial, but quickly turns into a liquid state when exposed to air. It has a faint, citrus scent, and tastes vaguely like grapefruit.

The exterior of this rosewood sword mount is engraved with a pastoral forest scene replete with frolicking cats and leaping salmon. A red and white prayer cord (shimenawa) is tightly wound and knotted around where both halves enjoin. Loosening the cord and unsheathing the katana within causes the blade to loudly yowl and keen, before the sound fades away together with the last vestiges of its magic. When you grasp this walking cane and use a bonus action to speak the command word, it transforms into an ordinary longsword and ceases to be magical.

** Guardian:** This item has the guardian minor property from p. 148 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG). So long as the shimenawa is attached, and the knot unbroken, the item warns its bearer of impending threats through a series of meows, purrs, and hisses that only the bearer can hear, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn’t incapacitated. (Note that should the item become non-magical, this property is lost).
