MAGIC ITEMS
ARKUS’S MANA POOL
Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement by a Spellcaster)
A spherical glass orb is suspended by chains and a dark iron
frame. Inside the orb is a swirling mass of pure magical
energy. It glows vibrant purples and blues, shedding dim
light in a 5ft radius.
The Item has 5 charges with 1d4+1 recharging each day at
dawn. An attuned creature holding this item can expend any
number of charges to regain a spell slot with a level equal to
the number of charges expended. When the last charge is
expended, roll a d20. On a roll of a 1, the item cracks and
explodes. Dealing 3d10 force damage to the attuned creature.
BAG OF GREED
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
A tatty brown cloth pouch that is knotted at the top in a tassel
that has 2 bronze faces attached to the ends of each string, the
faces are grinning menacingly and have tiny clouded rubies
for eyes. The bag feels heavy and clinks as if full of coins at all
times.
The tassels will simply not come undone, not even by magical
means, when a creature that isn’t attuned to this item attempts
to open it.
Once per day a creature attuned to this item can open the
tassels and pour out 10d10 gold coins. The coins replicate real
gold coins and are impossible to discern without otherwise
using a spell such as Identify. They dissolve into thin air,
leaving only streaks of silky black smoke behind after 1 hour.
Curse. This bag carries a curse. A creature attuned to this item
is inflicted by the curse of indefinite greed. They inherit this
personality flaw until dispelled by such magic as the remove
curse spell:
“I am obsessed with wealth, golden coins above all. I will go
out of my way or put those I love in danger over such items.”
BLACK CHEVRON
Wondrous Item, Common
10 of these dark stone textured chevrons exist in the world.
They form together to complete a powerful weapon. Each
chevron is cold to the touch and has a small skull engraved
into each of their surfaces.
Ghoul Blade Components. What the player won’t know
through simple analysis or even through means of the identify
spell is that these Chevrons combine to form the Ghoul Blade.
They can know as much as that multiple of them exist and that
they are somehow components to a powerful weapon.
BLAST’S BOX
Wondrous Item, Common
A rustic wooden box with minimal design is sealed with a
simple latch. Inside are 1d6+2 Vials containing a cloudy,
creamy fluid that occasionally flashes with light. A creature
can spend its action to open the box and hurl one of the vials at
a space within 30ft that it can see. Any creature relying on
sight in a 15ft sphere originating from the point of impact must
make a DC14 Dexterity saving throw to avert its eyes. On a
failed save the creature becomes blinded until the end of its
next turn.
CHALK OF THE FEYWILD
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
A creature can use its action to open the ornate fey inspired
wooden box, pull out a piece of faintly glowing cyan chalk and
draw a ring with a diameter of 5ft beneath them. When 2 rings
are within 30ft of each other, the creature can expend its bonus
action to teleport from a ring they stand in to the other ring in
a puff of silky sparkling smoke. The ring the creature
teleported from fades and disappears. The rings automatically
disappear after 1 hour if unused.
CLAY WARTOOL
Weapon (Warhammer), Very rare (Requires Attunement)
What initially appears to be a damp unfired Warhammer is
actually something much more powerful. Any attempts to fire
the clay fail; it always remains wet and unfired.
An attuned creature can use its bonus action to utter the Clay
Wartool’s Command word and transform it into any of the
following weapons:
 Battleaxe
 Warpick
 Warhammer
When transformed into a weapon, this item is treated as a +2
version of that weapon. The forms that this weapon takes can
be slightly modified in terms of appearance by the holders
wishes. For example, the attuned creature could include broad
stumpy spikes across the Warhammer model. Any appearance
modifications don’t alter the item’s functionality, however.
CROWN OF ROSES
Wondrous Item, rare (Requires Attunement)
A creature attuned to this item gains a +3 Bonus to Wisdom,
Charisma and Intelligence saving throws. If the attuned
creature ever rolls a natural 1 while performing a check or
saving throw using any of the bonuses that this item grants a
horrible curse takes form.
2|P a g e
 Magical Items Expansion
D&D 5E
Curse. The Crown of Roses carries a horrible curse. When it
takes effect the item becomes known as the Crown of Thorns.
The roses wilt and the thorns become enlarged, jagged and
vicious as the once green stems become an oily black. Any
attempt to remove the crown instead deals 1 piecing damage
and 1d10 psychic damage. The bonuses gained from this item
instead become hindrances, the +3 modifiers become penalties
of -3 until the curse is removed using such magic as the Remove
Curse spell. When the curse is broken the crown remains in its
hideous new form.
DIARY OF THE LOST
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This tattered leather journal has no markings or clues as to
what it contains or who it belongs to. A creature can spend an
hour analysing the journal and learning its writings. Gaining a
permanent +1 bonus to the creature’s wisdom score.

strange phenomena as well as learning who the writer was;
They descended into a deep twisting madness before abruptly
disappearing, leaving the journal incomplete.

madness; gaining 1 form of Long Term madness. When it
expires, a new form of long term madness takes its place. This
curse can be dispelled by the Remove Curse spell and other
similar magic.
DREAMCATCHER
Wondrous Item, Common (Requires Attunement)
A creature attuned to this traditional looking Dreamcatcher
can hang it up while they perform a long rest. In the morning,
when they awake, they receive an effect based on how they
slept. Roll a d6. On a roll of a 1 they suffer a nightmare, on a
roll of a 2 or higher they have a good dream. Roll again on the
respective tables: (If you feel external factor might influence
whether or not a nightmare occurs, alter the initial d6 roll for
nightmares to have a higher chance)

DO’UN OF SHROUDS
Wondrous Item, Common
This Conical Bamboo hat has a peculiar desaturated tint,
appearing to be a light murky grey instead of a beige straw-
like colour. Along the rim are patterns of winding smoke in a
traditional art style, painted with blotchy black ink. Any
creature that dons this Do’un instantly has their face cast in
complete darkness; a magical shadow concealing their
identity. Even when light seems to be cast from below, the face
remains perfectly shadowed in an aura similar to that created
by the Darkness spell.
ELVISH GREATBLADE
Weapon (Greatsword), Rare (Requires attunement by an elf)
A majestic blade built in the very image of apex elvish
weaponry. This dark bladed sword weaves elegant iron
tendrils alongside its brilliant sharp blade. The Hilt has
impossible detail and is studded with various blue and jade
gems. Although the weapon should weigh well over 6 pounds,
it barely weighs a third of that.
The incredible light weight sword means this weapon can use
Dexterity for its Attack and Damage rolls. This sword has 20
charges, with 1d10 recharging at each day at dawn. The user
3|P a g e
 Magical Items Expansion
D&D 5E

ELDRITCH LOCK
Wondrous Item, Common (Requires Attunement)
This mysterious looking lock is decorated with fantastic
details, waving depictions of magical effects and complex
runes. When disturbed by a living being the lock glows a
purple and blue aura through the various details across the
surface.
An attuned creature can expend its bonus action to close the
lock, it becomes completely sealed until that same creature
opens it again using its action. If a creature other than the
attuned creature attempts to open the lock they must mentally
overpower it by making an arcana check with a DC equal to 10
plus the attuned creature’s arcana modifier or spellcasting
modifier (Attuned creature’s choice). On a failed check the
creature attempting to open the lock takes 1d10 Psychic
damage and cannot attempt to open the lock again for an hour.
When a creature other than the attuned creature overpowers
the lock it loses its attunement.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Wondrous Item, Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
A metal, spherical receptacle with a black iron base and
glamorous gold framing is locked by a mysterious device of
which is impossible to force open, even by magical means.

inside.

dawn. An attuned creature can use their action to speak the
items command word and expend charges to cast any of the
following spells from the eye requiring no material
components: (All spells have a range out to 30ft)

 Antimagic Ray: (8 charges) an Antimagic field, as in
the Antimagic field spell is cast in a 30ft cone in a
direction of your choosing for 1 minute. Performing
another action disables this effect early. You can
change the direction at the start of each of your turns
requiring no action.
Curse. The Eye of the Beholder carries a curse. Each time this
item regains charges there is a 10% chance per charge restored
that the beholder’s soul will overpower the attuned creature’s
will. The creature’s alignment becomes Lawful Evil and it
gains the following personality trait:
“Everything I do relates to an attempt to gain power and wealth,
regardless of the costs and consequences.”
The only way to dispel this curse is to use magic such as the
Remove Curse spell.
EYE OF MYERE
Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)
An ancient brace made of a brittle grey metal secures a curious
living eye that frantically analyses and stares at its
surroundings. The eye is bloodshot and has an acidic green
tint.

like state, becoming incapacitated and blinded as a result, the
creature is considered concentrating while in this state,
breaking concentration returns the creature back to normal.

the Eye of Myere with Truesight out to a range of 15ft. The
creature can use their reaction to re-emerge from this state.
FLAGON OF FOG
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This large jug-like vessel is decorated with intricate wave-like
patterns. The colours consist of incredible black and metallic
silver. The item appears to be as good as new, having an
immaculate reflective surface.
A creature can expend its action to remove the lid and pour a
liquid-like foggy compound from the vessel. In moments a 15ft
sphere originating from the creature’s position becomes
shrouded in a foggy substance; it is heavily obscured and only
displaced by a strong wind. The fog settles naturally and
disappears without a trace after 1 minute. It cannot be used
again until next dawn.

4|P a g e
 Magical Items Expansion
D&D 5E
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This ancient and ominous cross has a prominent design that
depicts images of the undead. A large skull is present in the
center of the crucifix, the handle and arms include more skulls,
ribs and other bone-like designs. A freakish black silky fog
exudes from the stone-like surface of this object.
Any creature that holds the cross experiences the item’s power,
their body decays and rots, bones stick through the skin and
the whole body of the contacting creature resembles that of a
long dead corpse. They return to their original form when they
drop or otherwise break contact with the item. While holding
the cross aging halts, they cannot gain levels of exhaustion and
their type becomes Undead. The creature becomes resistant to
necrotic damage, but become vulnerable to radiant damage.

the 10 Black Chevrons are within 60ft.
Quest of the Ghoul Blade. The Ghoul blade is a magic item
that can otherwise be acquired by completing its construction
using the Ghoul Mark. After acquiring the Ghoul mark 10 Black
Chevrons can be located in close proximity to the mark. When
all 10 have been acquired, they magically combine to form the
complete blade; Ghoul Blade.
GHOUL BLADE
Weapon (Longsword), Legendary (Requires Attunement)
This item has the exact same properties as the Ghoul Mark
magic item, even when used by a creature not attuned to this
item.
This weapon deals an extra 1d8 Necrotic damage. Undead
creatures are completely immune to this swords damage.
An attuned creature that wields this sword gains 1 Hitpoint at
the start of each of their turns, assuming they are not at full
health. If a creature is dealt necrotic damage as a result of this
sword’s effect, the attuned creature that wields this sword
gains Hitpoints equal to half that amount.
Curse. The Ghoul Blade bares a terrifying curse. A creature
attuned to this weapon slowly transitions into the undead
form that this blade encourages. The difference being is that
the creature need not even make contact with the blade to
experience this slow 10-day transition. Once the final day has
counted down, the attuned creature becomes indefinitely
afflicted with the undead transformation until such magic as
the Remove Curse spell targets the creature.
GOLEM GAUNTLETS
Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)
These solid stone gauntlets have 12 charges with 2d6
recharging each day at dawn. An attuned creature that wears
these gauntlets and wields no other items can use their action
to perform any of the following, expending the required
amount of charges:
 Golem Punch (1 Charge): Considered a melee weapon
attack with a range of 5ft. This uses strength for the
attack and damage rolls. On a hit the wearer deals
4d4 bludgeoning damage.
 Quake (2 Charges): The attuned creature smashes the
ground and forces any creatures within a 5ft wide,
20ft long line that are making contact with the same
surface as the attuned creature to make a DC14
Dexterity saving throw. Falling prone on a failed
save.
 Rock Pillar (3 Charges): The attuned creature chooses
a point on the ground within 15ft of them and raises a
column in the shape of a 5ft wide, 15ft tall cylinder.
The column rises with incredible speed, stopping if it
makes contact with a surface. If a creature is within
this space, it rises with the column. If a creature is on
the column which it hits the ceiling, the creature takes
4d6 bludgeoning damage, then the pillar
automatically retracts, leaving the creature prone in
the space that it started in. Columns created by this
effect remain.
 Rock Wall (4 Charges): The attuned creature raises a
wall out of the ground 5ft before them that is 5ft deep,
up to 20ft wide and 20ft tall. The wall refuses to rise
of any creatures of objects are occupying the space
above it. If the wall hits a ceiling, it stops growing
there. Walls created by this effect remain.
HAND OF HADAR
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This mummified hand has deep wounds, appeared to have
formed from decay, but on close inspection oily flowing
blackness weaves under the skin, over and around bones as
dark as ebony.

Touch” without requiring any material components. The hand
featured in the spell instead becomes an oily black tendril.
JAR OF LIVING LIGHTS

engraved with whimsical depictions of fairies and forests. A
5|P a g e
 Magical Items Expansion
D&D 5E
creature can cast the spell “Dancing Lights” from the jar
requiring no material components by using their action to
open the jar and release the fireflies. Once the spell ends the
fireflies return to the jar and the lid seals itself. It cannot be
used again for another hour.
KEY TO GANN’S MAGIC CUPBOARD
Wondrous Item, rare
A creature can spend a bonus action to place this key into any
door’s keyhole and open it to access an extradimensional
cupboard that is 10ft Wide and Deep and 15ft Tall. There is
enough air inside the cupboard to sustain a creature for 1 hour.
A creature that is locked inside the cupboard can force its way
out with a successful DC20 strength check. A creature can also
lock itself inside the cupboard using the key requiring no
action. When a creature uses its bonus action to exit the
cupboard, they emerge from the last door that was opened by
the key. While a door is opened to the cupboard, the door from
the other side seems to have never opened. A successful DC20
strength check to force the door open, shuts the cupboard and
spews out the key, followed by that door then swinging open
naturally.
When Gann’s Cupboard is opened for the first time, it contains
general clutter such as Brooms, sacks of potatoes, old boots
and empty barrels etc. There is a possibility, however, that
another magic item is present within the Cupboard.
LARYK’S BOX OF LEECHES
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This dark wooden box has been decorated with what seems to
be red paint, making borders and sloppy depictions of slug-
like creatures. Inside the box are 3d4+4 big, fat leeches with
curious glowing red labyrinthine patterns along their slimy
skin. A creature can use its bonus action to crush one of the
magical leeches in its hand. They gain 4d4 Hitpoints as
ominous red energy spills from the leech and enters their
body. At the end of each of that creature’s turns for 10 turns
they take 1 necrotic damage. If the fall to 0 Hitpoints before the
10 turns have passed they automatically stabilize, unless the
creature dies.
MAGIC CARPET
Wondrous Item, Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
An attuned creature can treat this ornamental rug as a mount.
It is considered a Vehicle (Land). The rug has a flying speed of
60ft. While the rug isn’t mounted it is indistinguishable from
an ordinary rug. The Rug has an AC of 14 and 15 HP with
vulnerability to Slashing and Fire Damage as well as immunity
to Psychic and Bludgeoning Damage.
MELANER’S KIT OF EXCELENT MEDICINES
Wondrous item, Rare (Requires Attunement)
This fine kit is a long roll of fabric, strapped closed by leather
strips and copper buckles. Inside the hempen lining is a vast
range of utensils, vials and miniature ingredient containing
pouches.
A creature attuned to this item gains proficiency in the
Medicine skill if they haven’t already. The pouch has 1d6
charges with 1d4+2 recharging each dawn. A creature attuned
to this item can expend their action and a number of charges to
activate any of the following effects:
 (1 Charge) Heal a creature within 5ft of you by 1d8
HP.
 (2 Charges) Diagnose a creature, within 10ft of you, of
a random illness they might have.
 (3 Charges) Remove the poisoned condition from a
creature within 5ft of you and any accompanying
effects inflicted by the condition.
 (6 Charges) Cure one known illness that a creature
within 5ft of you suffers from.
PLANAR DIMENSION CHALKS
Wondrous Item, Legendary
This magnificently designed box of chalks is decorated with
fine multi-coloured gems over a polished metallic surface.
Inside the box are 20 sticks of chalk, all of different colours
(Except Silver, of which there are two pieces). The colour of the
chalk corresponds to the dimension that it opens, the colours
match the Astral Colour Pools for each dimension detailed in
The Dungeon Master’s Guide pg.47.
Each chalk can be used 3 times before it is completely used up.
A creature using the chalk must spend 10 minutes drawing out
an intricate rune that would mark the portal opening. This
must be on a flat 10ft2 surface such as a wall, floor or ceiling.
When the creature finishes drawing the rune it must make a
DC16 Arcana check. On a successful check the portal to the
corresponding dimension opens when the creature returns the
stick of chalk to its case, the case then glows, vibrantly, the
colour of that dimension’s portal. On a failed check, the rune is
done incorrectly and fades and that third of the chalk is
wasted.
Once a portal is open, it remains open until the creature that
opened it exits the dimension it was drawn on, or if the box of
chalk exits their reach. The creature cannot open the box of
chalk while a portal is open. The box stops glowing after the
portal closes.
The exit of the portal opens in a random part of the target
dimension. Each creature or item that passes through ends up
in the same place. Each time a creature passes through the
6|P a g e
 Magical Items Expansion
D&D 5E
portal it shudders, and there is a 25% chance that the portal
will close prematurely. Only creatures of large size or smaller
can pass through.
A creature can pull out an unused stick of chalk and crush it
on the ground to teleport each creature within a 15ft radius to
a random part of the corresponding dimension. Each creature
affected takes 5d10 force damage.
A creature cannot draw a portal to the dimension they are
currently on.
ROBE OF ETHEREALNESS
Wondrous Item, Very Rare (requires Attunement)
The incredible quality of this robe is instantly apparent. The
surface appears translucent and wavering with a mysterious
almost fluidic texture. A numbing sensation is gained from
making contact with fine magical silk that makes up this
beautiful robe.
The robe has 3 charges with 1d3 recharging each day at dawn.
An attuned creature can expend one of the charges to step into
the ethereal plane as if they had casted the spell Etherealness,
except the duration is reduced to 1 hour.
ROD OF BARRING
Rod, Uncommon
A creature can use its bonus action to place this rod on a closed
door, hatch or window. The Rod expands to fit the frame or
width of the entrance and magically lock itself into place. The
Rod can be deactivated by any creature that uses its bonus
action to pull it off. A DC30 strength check is required to force
the entrance open from the other side. On a successful check
the rod drops to the ground and deactivates.
RING OF HASTE
Ring, Rare
While wearing this ring you have a +2 bonus to all Dexterity
Saving throws. You can also expend one of its 3 charges to use
the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.
This ring gains regains 1d3 of its charges each day at dawn.
RING OF RED RAYS
Ring, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
When in complete darkness, the ruby encrusted into this ring
sheds a bright red light for 15ft and dim light for an additional
15ft. Only an attuned creature wearing the ring can benefit
from or even see the light. When the ring is again exposed to
dim or bright light, this effect ceases.
SHAMRAX’S TICKING BOX
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
A beautifully designed brass box, one side has a complex set of
dials, much like a combination lock, but instead of numbers,
many Undercommon characters are present. One face of the
box is made of murky transparent glass, inside is a dimly
glowing purple crystal that shimmers in the dark, dimly
lighting up a mass of tiny gears, coils, hammers and dials
inside the receptacle. The top of the box has a small slit in the
top that acts as an audio input.
While attuned to this item you can speak in Undercommon
through the hole on the top. Once you have finished the gem
flickers, and the box begins to produce a clacking sound;
translating what you spoke into the box to the unique Hook
Horror language.
If Hook Horrors communicating is audible, the gem shimmers
and the dials on the front of the box rapidly spell out, in
Undercommon, what the Hook Horrors are saying.
SOUL STONE:
Wondrous Item, Legendary (Requires Attunement)
A beautiful diamond like stone with lights that refract wildly
though its form.
When a creature is attuned to this stone they are always
accompanied by a Familiar (controlled by the DM) when it is
on their person. The Familiar is only visible to the attuned
creature, has the same alignment as them and appears to be a
tall luminescent asexual humanoid.
The Humanoid has a colour tint relating to the attuned
creature’s alignment:
 Chaotic Evil: Red
 Chaotic Good: Green
 Chaotic Neutral: Yellow
 Lawful Evil: Black
 Lawful Good: Purple
 Lawful Neutral: Navy
 Neutral: Silver
 Neutral Evil: Orange
 Neutral Good: Cyan
Once attuned, the gemstone also becomes the colour associated
to the attuned creature’s alignment.
The Familiar has an Intelligence score of 19 (+4), a Wisdom
score of 23 (+6) and a Charisma score of 17 (+3) and Speaks
and reads the same languages as the attuned creature. The
Familiar can make Wisdom or Intelligence checks. The
Familiar cannot move more than 15ft away from the attuned
creature. They can’t move through surfaces or walls but can
occupy the same space as other creatures. The Familiar cannot
7|P a g e
 Magical Items Expansion
D&D 5E
be targeted, detected or affected by spells as they occupy some
other plane of existence. If the stone itself is subjected to an
Anti-Magic effect, the familiar disappears until the effect no
longer influences the stone.
MIRROR OF FEAR
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
A creature holding this mirror can use its action to utter its
command word and point the mirror at a creature that can see
it within 15ft. The targeted creature must succeed a DC13
Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the mirror for
one minute or until line of sight to the mirror is broken, a
creature that succeeds the saving throw is immune to its effects
for 24 hours. A creature must rely on sight in order to be
subjected to the mirror’s effects.
The Mirror itself is decorated with a terrifying black steel
frame, containing details of horrible monsters, bones and
forms of supernatural phenomena. A creature that gazes into
the mirror witnesses its greatest fears.
NORAC’S CHAIN MACE
Weapon (Mace), Very Rare
Norac’s Mace is a +3 Mace, a sandy mechanical weapon with
strange indentations planted consistently around the maces
head. Gears and a sturdy handle make for an intriguing
design. Creatures holding this weapon can’t be disarmed of it.
When a creature makes an attack with the weapon Spikes
sprout from the indentation around the head and deal an
additional 1d4 piercing damage on hit. This weapon has a
reach of 10ft, as the head detaches itself from the handle via an
extended chain, hitting creatures just out of reach.
POUCH OF WILD THINGS
Wondrous Item, Common
An old leather pouch with various natural accents and details
like twigs and dried flowers. When opened a mass of smells
exudes from the bag (Of which can be smelled from up to 30ft
away). A creature can use its action to pull out any flower,
seasoning or piece of natural plant matter it could possibly
imagine. None of these items will be enough to sustain enough
for a whole meal, but can substitute any plant material
component for a spell, such as flowers, herbs and twigs etc.
Items from the bag can have extreme effects, such as beautiful
smelling flower petals and mushrooms capable of making
someone very ill. Chances are, if it exists in the material plane,
it’s in the bag.
The Contents of the bag are occupying an extradimensional
space.
ROCKSEEKER’S MIGHT
Weapon (Warhammer), Rare (Requires Attunement)
Redesigned over the course of centuries by dwarfs of the
family Rockseeker. This hammer was passed down the family
line to each bold adventurer of the Rockseeker clan, each one
adding their own unique flavour to the weapon, causing it to
evolve over the course of the years.
The Rockseeker’s Might has attained these benefits:
 Rockseeker’s Might has a Pickaxe head on one end of
the hammer, thus the user can choose to deal Piercing
damage instead of Bludgeoning.
 This weapon also acts as an Arcane Focus.
 This weapon has been imbued with incredible
materials; It cannot receive Attack or Damage
modifier penalties.
 Once per day, on a hit with this weapon, the user can
choose to deal 2d10 Thunder damage in addition to
the normal damage.
SEEING STONE
Wondrous Item, Rare
This stone doesn’t seem to have any outstanding visual traits,
the only definitive unusual factor that this item has is that a
neat hole passes through it. When a creature that is either a Fey
or Humanoid (Elf) glances through the stone, they have
effective true sight out to a range of 15ft. Everything becomes
black and white, however. Creatures that are magical appear
to glow yellow when glanced at through the stone. Magical
items can even be seen through solid surfaces as they glow
red. However, 3ft of Earth, 1ft of stone or a thin sheet of lead
blocks your vision.
SKELETON KEY
Wondrous Item, Very rare
This key has impressively intricate detail, a skull shaped bow
glares menacingly with deep eye sockets the glow red when
the vastly complex teeth of the key enter a lock. Every little
detail is somehow represented by bones.
A creature holding this item can expend their action to unlock
anything with a keyhole that isn’t magical.
SPIRIT BOW
Weapon (Longbow), Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
This weapon can come in two forms, both however, appear to
be unstrung bows of incredible design. Roll randomly to
determine which one the player will find.

bonus action to expend the one charge. For one day

by 2 and they can learn one additional language they
don’t already know of their choosing.
TOMAHAWK OF SOUL SNATCHING
Weapon (Handaxe), Legendary (Requires Attunement)
Ominous voodoo designs have been strongly incorporated into
the design on this weapon. Charms; rat skulls, beads and
feathers dangle from this weapon’s handle. The blunt stone
axe head, strangely, has incredible sharpness regardless of the
blades seemingly poor shape. Tormenting green lights
occasionally flicker inside the skulls and other adornments
attached to this axe.
A creature attuned to this weapon experiences the presence of
a wicked soul when they rest. Strange phenomena occur
around the creature while attuned. Other effects become
apparent depending on the creature’s relationship with the
terrifying weapon.
Snatch Soul. If the killing blow is dealt to a creature by
someone wielding this weapon their soul is absorbed into it.
The only way to extract the soul is to destroy the weapon, or if
the weapon releases it at its own accord. When A soul is
successfully absorbed into the weapon it gains an additional
+1 to Attack and damage. The weapon can gain up to 3 points
this way. The modifiers reset at dawn, but the souls are still
contained.
Sentience. The Tomahawk of Soul Snatching is a Chaotic Evil
sentient weapon with an intelligence score of 9, a wisdom
score of 16 and a charisma score of 17, with hearing and
Darkvision out to 60ft.
The weapon can speak, read and understand Common, Goblin
and Giant. It can communicate telepathically with any creature
attuned to it. Its voice is sharp and vile. Its vocabulary is
simple but vicious. It speaks to attuned creatures like they are
a servant of its will.
Personality. The Tomahawk of Soul Snatching speaks with
unfathomable cruelty and disrespect. It considers itself
superior to all others as it has ascended to a “higher state of
being”, immortality in the form of a weapon. Its voice is
cackling and undoubtedly evil. The Tomahawk hungers for
souls and always tries to bend the attuned creature to its
twisted will.
Curse. The Tomahawk of Soul Snatching carries a deadly curse.
The creature attuned to it must bend to the will of the weapon
momentarily every day or risk becoming subjected to negative
effects instantiated by the weapon itself.
 (Negative) If the attuned creature goes a whole 3 days
without providing the weapon a soul to consume
(Using the “Snatch Soul” feature) Phantoms, omens
and other terrifying voodoo illusions torment the
attuned creature and ensue the following drawbacks
for a whole day.
o The attuned creature cannot benefit from
short or long rests.
o All food taste putrid, the attuned creature is
considered “Poisoned” for one hour after
food consumption.
o All undead creatures’ eyes glow green and
the attuned creature can temporarily hear
them via telepathy within a range of 30ft.
 (Neutral) If the attuned creature provides at least 1
soul over the course of 3 days, nothing different
occurs.
 (Positive) If the attuned creature provides the souls of
3 or more Good aligned creatures, they gain the
following effects for one day:
o Their Eyes glow an ominous green, they can
speak telepathically with the undead up to a
range of 30ft.
o The creature’s type becomes undead.
o They are immune to the Exhaustion effect.
o Over this time the Tomahawk treats the
attuned creature with the upmost respect.
Breaking the curse requires the weapon to be destroyed. It
must be subjected to 10 points of Radiant damage. The
Attunement ends, as do all effects of the curse. All that is left is
a pile of smouldering ash. The effect of the Remove Curse
supresses the Item’s sentience for 1 full day.
TRICKSTER’S COIN
Wondrous Item, Common (Requires Attunement)
What initially appears to be a completely ordinary gold coin
actually has whimsical properties. A creature attuned to this
item can flip the coin into the air. When the creature catches it
again and calls it, the coin will always face up the side
declared by the creature.

VOOGAN’S BAG OF MAGIC SEEDS
Wondrous item, Uncommon
This small rustic hempen bag has 6 charges with 1d4+2
recharging each day at dawn. A creature holding this item can
expend their action to open the vine-link tassels and pull out a
seed and plant it in the ground. In exactly one minute a full
version of that plant will have fully grown. The creature
expends charges with a number depending on which seed they
plant.
 Purple-Fruit Plant: (1 Charge) This 5ft plant produces
a bulbous purple fruit that can be consumed to

 Man Eater Plants: (4 Charges) A vicious medium
sized plant that is indistinguishable from a normal
harmless plant. When a hostile creature moves within
5ft the plant attacks them, dealing 1d12 piercing
damage. The Plant has 10HP, an AC of 10 with
vulnerability to slashing and fire.
VOOGAN’S TERRARIUM
Wondrous Item, Common
Truly a beautiful and unusual item. This oddly shaped bottle
contains a thriving ecosystem of small plants and mosses.
However, instead of air inside is a thickly wavering green oil.
A creature can use its action to smash the terrarium on the
ground beneath them or throw it up to 30ft. The oil spills out
and thick mossy foliage and plants grow in its shattered wake.
A 15ft square area originating from the point of impact
becomes difficult terrain. The plant-life only grows on solid
surfaces.
VOREK’S VULCANISER
Wondrous Item, Very Rare
A gleaming bronze helmet shaped and designed for a
Dragonborn wearer. A Dragonborn wearing this helmet while
