Magic Items

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
While you wear this helm, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and remain aware of your surroundings even while you're asleep, and you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

As a bonus action, you can cast the see invisibility spell from the helm. Once this property of the helm is used, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

Wand, very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
1 lb.
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can expend 1 charge to cast Polymorph (save DC 15) from it.

Regaining Charges. The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.

Wand, Uncommon
1 lb.

Wondrous item, very rare
5 lb.
This book contains intuition and insight exercises, and its words are charged with magic. If you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and practicing its guidelines, your Wisdom score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.

Ersatz Eye, 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.

+3 Amulet of the Devout, Wondrous item, very rare (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 +3 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.

Secret Message.
On the stroke of the new moon, the amulet’s reverse shows a microlined verse only visible in moon-shadow: “Entries amended by the Keeper’s eye may yet be read where ink runs dry.” (A riddle pointing to a hidden archive or dry well.)

Appearance. A heavy, cold medallion of dark electrum stamped with a slashed, pupil-less eye inside a ring of tiny tally marks. The chain is stitched black thread reinforced with fine links. When turned in the light, faint lines of “ledger rulings” seem to run beneath the metal like watermark paper.

Attunement Rite (flavor). You prick your thumb and press it to the seal; the drop is absorbed without a trace. For a heartbeat, you hear a page turn. A hair-thin ink stitch appears on your palm and fades.

Manifestations (cosmetic).:

When you cast, your voice seems to arrive as written words first, then sound follows.

Sigils you conjure appear as blotted ink that snaps into sharp lines at the moment of release.

In dim light, the amulet casts a small, crisp eye-shaped shadow.

Vecnan Devotion Oath (optional). Inscribed on the back in microscopic script:

“Truth belongs to the Keeper. All oaths are entries; all entries may be edited.”
Speaking it aloud (no mechanical change) causes the medallion to briefly smell of old vellum.

Drawbacks (narrative only). The Seal occasionally “corrects” paperwork around you: a misspelled name mends itself, a line in a wanted poster vanishes, a ledger entry comes up blank. This is omen, not rule text—use it for mood.

Rod, very rare (requires attunement by a warlock)

"Formed from the severed tentacle of a powerful star spawn, this rod plagues its wielder with dreams of alien creatures that beckon them to travel deep within the Thunder Peaks, where something patiently awaits their arrival."

While holding this rod, you gain a +3 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your Warlock spells.

In addition, you can regain one spell slot as a Magic action while holding the rod. You can't use this property again until you finish a Long Rest.

Mastery: Sap
This item appears to be a sword hilt.

Blade of Radiance. While grasping the hilt, you can take a Bonus Action to cause a blade of pure radiance to spring into existence or make the blade disappear. While the blade exists, this magic weapon functions as a Longsword with Finesse. If you are proficient with Longswords or Shortswords, you are proficient with the Sun Blade.

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with this weapon, which deals Radiant damage instead of Slashing damage. When you hit an Undead with it, that target takes an extra 1d8 Radiant damage.

Sunlight. The sword's luminous blade emits Bright Light in a 15-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 15 feet. The light is sunlight. While the blade persists, you can take a Magic action to expand or reduce its radius of Bright Light and Dim Light by 5 feet each, to a maximum of 30 feet each or a minimum of 10 feet each.

Finesse. When making an attack with a Finesse weapon, use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Tree Form. You can take a Magic action to plant one end of the staff in earth in an unoccupied space and expend 1 charge to transform the staff into a healthy tree. The tree is 60 feet tall and has a 5-foot-diameter trunk, and its branches at the top spread out in a 20-foot radius. The tree appears ordinary but radiates a faint aura of Transmutation magic that can be discerned with the Detect Magic spell. While touching the tree and using a Magic action, you return the staff to its normal form. Any creature in the tree falls when the tree reverts to a staff.

Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff loses its properties and becomes a nonmagical Quarterstaff.

Retributive Strike. You can take a Magic action to break the staff over your knee or against a solid surface.

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 times the number of charges in the staff . Each other creature in the area makes a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw.

Staff, weapon (Quarterstaff), very rare (requires attunement)

Altered Outcome. The staff has 6 charges. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 of the staff's charges to give yourself or one other creature that you can see a d4.

If this extra die is not used before then, it is lost.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
Roughly marble sized, Ioun Stones are named after Ioun, a god of knowledge and prophecy revered on some worlds. Many types of Ioun Stones exist, each type a distinct combination of shape and color.

When you take a Magic action to toss an Ioun Stone into the air, the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet, conferring its benefit to you while doing so. You can have up to three Ioun Stones orbiting your head at the same time.

Each Ioun Stone orbiting your head is considered to be an object you are wearing. The orbiting stone avoids contact with other creatures and objects, adjusting its orbit to avoid collisions and thwarting all attempts by other creatures to attack or snatch it.

As a Utilize action, you can seize and stow any number of Ioun Stones orbiting your head. If your Attunement to an Ioun Stone ends while it's orbiting your head, the stone falls as though you had dropped it.

While this dark-blue rhomboid orbits your head, you have Advantage on Initiative rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks.

Flavor. Last Shard of Nintra Siotta's archfey remains. A black shard made out of glass.

Weapon (Longsword), rare
Martial weapon, melee weapon
3 lb.

1d8 Slashing
Versatile (1d10)
This single-edged magic sword is made from the scrimshawed fang of a giant serpent. Its hilt changes shape to adjust to the grasp of any creature that picks it up. The weapon deals an extra 1d10 poison damage to any target it hits.

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.

Medium armor (scale mail), uncommon
45 lb.

AC 14 + Dex
This suit of magic armor is made from shimmering scales. While wearing it, you can apply your full Dexterity modifier (instead of a maximum of +2) when determining your Armor Class. In addition, this armor does not impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

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.

Wondrous item, uncommon
While in this saddle on a mount, you can't be dismounted against your will if you're conscious, and attack rolls against the mount have disadvantage.

Wondrous item, rare
This rope is 30 feet long. While holding one end of the rope, you can take a Magic action to command the other end to dart forward and entangle one creature you can see within 20 feet of yourself. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or have the Restrained condition. You can release the target by letting go of your end of the rope (causing the rope to coil up in the target's space) or by using a Bonus Action to repeat the command (causing the rope to coil up in your hand).

A target Restrained by the rope can take an action to make its choice of a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. On a successful check, the target is no longer Restrained by the rope. If you're still holding onto the rope when a target escapes from it, you can take a Reaction to command the rope to coil up in your hand; otherwise, the rope coils up in the target's space.

The rope has AC 20, HP 20, and Immunity to Poison and Psychic damage. It regains 1 Hit Point every 5 minutes as long as it has at least 1 Hit Point. If the rope drops to 0 Hit Points, it is destroyed.
