Magic Items

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo has long intertwining designs.

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.

Grasping Tendrils. While the tattoo is on your skin, you can, as an action, cause the tattoo to extrude into inky tendrils, which reach for a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or take 3d6 force damage and be grappled by you. As an action, the creature can escape the grapple by succeeding on a DC 14 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. The grapple also ends if you halt it (no action required), if the creature is ever more than 15 feet away from you, or if you use this tattoo on a different creature. This item is found in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

Wicked. Formerly wielded by fearsome marauders and monsters of Wildspace, this pseudo-sentient tattoo yearns to hunt and pillage. When the bearer is presented with an opportunity to act in a selfish or malevolent way, the item heightens the bearer’s urge to do so.

Wondrous Item, uncommon

This fey-craft mithral flask is crafted with attention to minute detail. This stoppered flask sloshes when shaken, as if it contains water. The decanter weighs 2 pounds. You can use an action to remove the stopper and speak one of three command words, whereupon an amount of fresh water or salt water (your choice) pours out of the flask. The water stops pouring out at the start of your next turn. Choose from the following options:

• "Stream" produces 1 gallon of water.

• "Fountain" produces 5 gallons of water.

• "Geyser" produces 30 gallons of water that gushes forth in a geyser 30 feet long and 1 foot wide. As a bonus action while holding the decanter, you can aim the geyser at a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take 1d4 bludgeoning damage and fall prone. Instead of a creature, you can target an object that isn't being worn or carried and that weighs no more than 200 pounds. The object is either knocked over or pushed up to 15 feet away from you.

This item is found in the Dungeon Masters Guide.

Water taken from this flask glows softly in the moonlight, casting dim light within 5 feet. This effect wears off quickly. In addition, while drinking water from this flask, imbibers often hear mutters of things long forgotten. This effect can be useful on rare occasions, but is more likely to be discomforting.

The blade of this spear is made from the long claws of an ice troll. Its shaft is made of Rashemi ash. It is believed that the spirits of Rashemen themselves warn the wielder of this weapon when danger is near.

Decanter of Endless Water
Wondrous Item, uncommon

This stoppered flask sloshes when shaken, as if it contains water. The bottle weighs 2 pounds. You can use an action to remove the stopper and speak one of three command words, whereupon an amount of fresh water or salt water (your choice) pours out of the flask. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

This stoppered bottle looks like an ordinary bottle of rum, fitted into a hempen net that can be easily attached to one’s belt. The bottle sloshes when shaken. Close inspection of the amber-colored bottle reveals a mud mephit trapped inside, frowning and pressing its face against the glass. If the mephit is released it is under the control of the DM and immediately tries to escape.

You can use an action to remove the stopper and speak one of three command words, whereupon an amount of murky fresh water or briny salt water (your choice) pours out of the flask. While it has an earthy taste, the fresh water is potable. The water stops pouring out at the start of your next turn.

Choose from the following options:

• "Stupendous Streams!" produces 1 gallon of water.
• "Fanriffic Fountains!" produces 5 gallons of water.
• "Great Guzzling Geysers!" produces 30 gallons of water that gushes forth in a geyser 30 feet long and 1 foot wide. As a bonus action while holding the decanter, you can aim the geyser at a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take 1d4 bludgeoning damage and fall prone. Instead of a creature, you can target an object that isn't being worn or carried and that weighs no more than 200 pounds. The object is either knocked over or pushed up to 15 feet away from you

The Mind Fortress (Ring of Mind Shielding) -- uncommon, attunement

The Mind Fortress is the remnants of an extradimensional location that served as the site of a ritual enacted by the alchemist Ravinan. Ravinan divided three aspects of his psyche, in an attempt to purify his soul, and collapsed this evil into a stone called the Eye of Darkness. The Mind Fortress then served as the extradimensional home for the stone until liberated by adventurers. After the stone was removed, the Mind Fortress shrank to a less-potent but still useful magical item.

The Mind Fortress functions in all ways as a ring of mind shielding. The Mind Fortress still contains two portions of Rhys’s psyche (his center for rational thought, as well as his conscience). These mental remnants do not count as an actual soul for purposes of the ring, nor do they cause the Mind Fortress to act as an intelligent item. However, a DM might choose to have these aspects of Rhys’s psyche may affect the emotional state of the wearer or interact with the wearer during a dream or trance state.

The Mind Fortress’s form is still highly mutable. 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.

This spellbook, along with anything written on its pages, can’t be damaged by fire or immersion in water. In addition, the spellbook doesn’t deteriorate with age.

RUBY OF THE WAR MAGE

Wondrous item, common (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Etched with eldritch runes, this 1-inch-diameter ruby allows you to use a simple or martial weapon as a spellcasting focus for your spells. For this property to work, you must attach the ruby to the weapon by pressing the ruby against it for at least 10 minutes. Thereafter, the ruby can’t be removed unless you detach it as an action or the weapon is destroyed. Not even an antimagic field causes it to fall off. The ruby does fall off the weapon if your attunement to the ruby ends.

Sentinel. This item glows faintly when demons are within 120 feet of it.

Ammunition (arrow), Common

This arrow was retrieved from the Battle of Almorel in the Endless Wastes. Its proximity to the aberrant hordes that spewed forth from the Infinite Staircase has caused it to behave abnormally. It is limp, like an overcooked noodle, until someone grasps it; at that point it takes on the physical characteristics of a traditional wooden arrow. If it is placed on the ground for a few moments, it wriggles about until the arrowhead is pointed north.

This arrow can’t be broken, except when it is within an antimagic field.

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

Rashmen is a land of bitterly cold winters and short, cool summers. Outsiders who are welcome to stay in Rashemen are gifted hot stones. These smooth stones come from hot springs and are enchanted by the vremyonni to retain heat.

Wondrous item, common (requires attunement by a warlock)

Harmonious: Attuning to this item takes only 1 minute.

A jet-black jagged crystal dangles from roughly threaded strands of dried grass and bark. This amulet is fashioned from a single shard of resilient extraplanar material originating from the realm of your warlock patron. While you are wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

You can use the amulet as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.

You can try to cast a cantrip that you don’t know. The cantrip must be on the warlock 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.

The engraving on this sword depends on which path was taken. It is either a bear, a birch tree, or a rhombus with a two-inch-long line stretching from each corner.

Weapon (any sword), common

In darkness, the unsheathed blade of this sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.

Guardian Minor Property. The item whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.
