Staff of Striking
Staff, very rare (requires attunement)
This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
The staff has 10 charges. When you hit with a melee attack using it, you can expend up to 3 of its charges. For each charge you expend, the target takes an extra 1d6 force damage. This staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff.
This brass staff is smooth to the touch, giving a slight electric shock at first. While holding the staff, the wielder’s arm hair permanently stands on end, along with a tingling sensation.
This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Ioun Stone (Greater Absorption)
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
This lavender and green stone has been fashioned
into the shape of a strange dragon; it has a long,
sinewy neck, a body like a serpent, four stout legs,
and two long whiskers that almost look like a
mustache. This is what the dragons of far-off Shou
Lung in Kara-Tur look like. While this marbled object
orbits your head, you can use your reaction to cancel
a spell of 8th level or lower cast by a creature you can
see and targeting only you.
Once the stone has canceled 50 levels of spells, it
burns out and turns dull gray, losing its magic. If you
are targeted by a spell whose level is higher than the
number of spell levels the stone has left, the stone
can't cancel it.
This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the
Dungeon Master’s Guide.
