Staff of Thunder and Lightning very_rare DDEP-DRW01 Assault on Myth Nantar Show
Notes:

This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. It also has the following additional properties. When one of these properties is used, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

Lightning. When you hit with a melee attack using the staff, you can cause the target to take an extra 2d6 lightning damage.

Thunder. When you hit with a melee attack using the staff, you can cause the staff to emit a crack of thunder, audible out to 300 feet. The target you hit must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become stunned until the end of your next turn.

Lightning Strike. You can use an action to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the staff's tip in a line that is 5 feet wide and 120 feet long. Each creature in that line must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 9d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Thunderclap. You can use an action to cause the staff to issue a deafening thunderclap, audible out to 600 feet. Each creature within 60 feet of you (not including you) must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 thunder damage and becomes deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half damage and isn't deafened.

Thunder and Lightning. You can use an action to use the Lightning Strike and Thunderclap properties at the same time. Doing so doesn't expend the daily use of those properties, only the use of this one.

Wand of Polymorph very_rare DDHC-CM-16 Alkazar's Apendix Show
Notes:

This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges to cast the polymorph spell (save DC 15) from it.

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

Belt of Stone Giant Strength very_rare DDAL-DRW-14 The City That Should Not Be Show
Notes:

This belt is made of dozens of writhing mauve tentacles covered in blinking eyes. The tentacles wrap around your waist and frequently squeeze you of their own accord. While wearing this belt, your Strength score changes to 23. The item has no effect on you if your Strength without the belt is equal to or greater than 23.

Ring of Regeneration very_rare DDAL-DRW-15 Frozen Whispers Show
Notes:

This green crystal ring is a single spike turned on itself, set with a silver-edged black disk that doesn’t catch the light as it should. The disk resembles an eclipsed sun, but a creature attuned to the ring knows, somehow, it is a dead sun. The creature also exhibits several physical changes: sharper teeth; a hunger for more protein; their nails or claws are harder, sharper, and grow twice as fast; and their eyes become completely black.

Wounds healed by this ring fill with a pale ichor that hardens and dries, replacing the original flesh. Regrown body parts harden into faceted green crystal that’s freezing cold to the touch, but retains full functionality.

While wearing this ring, you regain 1d6 hit points every 10 minutes, provided that you have at least 1 hit point. If you lose a body part, the ring causes the missing part to regrow and return to full functionality after 1d6 + 1 days if you have at least 1 hit point the whole time.

Dancing Sword Rapier very_rare DDHC-CM-16 Alkazar's Apendix Show
Notes:

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.

Spellguard Shield very_rare DDEP-DRW02 Wings of Death Show
Notes:

While holding this shield, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and spell attacks have disadvantage against you.

This item is found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This tower shield is made of hundreds of interlocking humanoid bones, dipped in a shimmering silver resin. When you are targeted by a spell, the bones vibrate gently and emit deep, ominous chanting in ancient Oman, lasting for 1d6 rounds.

Rod of Hellish Flames (Minor Property: Wicked) very_rare PS-DC-STRAT-UNDEAD-02 Liches Just Want To Have Fun Show
Notes:

Glowing cinders orbit the flanged head of this black iron rod.

This rod can be used as an arcane focus. While holding this rod, you gain the following benefits:

Hellish Resistance. You have resistance to fire and necrotic damage.

Searing Rebuke. You can cast the Hellish Rebuke spell as a 4th-level spell (save DC 16) from the rod. Once you use the rod to cast the spell, the rod can’t cast the spell again until the next dawn.

Surge of Brimstone. Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire or necrotic damage, you can use the rod to deal the maximum damage instead of rolling. Once this property is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

This item can be found in The Book of Many Things.

Wicked. 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.

This black iron rod still feels warm to the touch despite having been removed from Mogdol's possession for quite some time. Affixed atop is the broken horn of a balor you recognize from a past encounter. That at least that explains why D'Alva was so hellbent on destroying Mogdol.

Instrument of the Bards (Anstruth Harp) very_rare DDAL-DRW-18 Against the Machine Show
Notes:

The graceful curves, intricate decoration, and peerless sound of this harp mark it as one of greatest musical instruments ever fashioned.
Carvings in the harp’s golden wood depict the gods dancing to the music of Milil, god of song.
An instrument of the bards is an exquisite example of its kind, superior to an ordinary instrument in every way.
Seven types of these instruments exist, each named after a legendary bard college.
A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 psychic damage.

You can use an action to play the instrument and cast one of the following spells:
control weather,
cure wounds (5th level),
fly,
invisibility,
levitate,
protection from evil and good, or
wall of thorns.

Once the instrument has been used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn.
The spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.
You can play the instrument while casting a spell that causes any of its targets to be charmed on a failed saving throw, thereby imposing disadvantage on the save.
This effect applies only if the spell has a somatic or a material component.

Naerth’s Planar Compass very_rare Assigning Service Rewards Show
Notes:

A tethered compass made of string, wood shavings, and dried mushrooms with a center of brass, this item spins wildly when within 60 feet of a gate or portal to another plane. This item functions as an amulet of the planes

Wave / Blackrazor / Whelm legendary DDHC-TYP Tales from the Yawning Portal - White Plume Mountain Show
Discord (Plate +2) unique DDAL-DRW-15 Frozen Whispers Show
Notes:

Discord is comprised of sharp, interlocking spikes of green crystal and extinguishes all nonmagical flames within 30 feet of it. A creature wearing Discord hears insidious whispers originating from a point just beyond their peripheral vision. Unless deafened, the creature has disadvantage on saving throws caused by, and on Wisdom checks related to, Father Llymic and its allies.

While wearing this armor, you gain a +2 bonus to AC. In addition, you can use your reaction to see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, out to a distance of 120 feet until the start of your next turn. Discord can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

If a character wields Woe (a longsword) while wearing Discord, they are unharmed by temperatures as low as −60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Blessing of Protection unique DDHC-TYP Tales from the Yawning Portal - White Plume Mountain Show
Notes:

You gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws.

Woe (Longsword +3) unique DDAL-DRW-16 Uprising Show
Notes:

This blade, formed from Father Llymic’s urge to destroy, is made from a bizarre, icy crystal that appears to bend and twist when viewed peripherally.

When Woe’s bearer is presented with an opportunity to act violently, Woe heightens its urge to do so.

You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

If a character wields Woe while wearing Discord (plate armor from DDAL-DRW-15 Frozen Whispers), they are unharmed by temperatures as low as −60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Additionally, until the character removes Discord, they gain the flaw “Bright light enrages me.”
