Midnight Dragon’s Ichor Candle

Wondrous item, very rare


This candle magically invigorates those who smell it. It comes in a special cup, which features a draconic handle breathing fire. You can use an action to light the candle while holding the cup. Doing so doesn't require any means of lighting a fire: instead, the candle glows from within, as if harboring a hidden flame, before it sputters alight. The candle has 1 hour of burn time, and can't be extinguished once lit. As the wax runs down the c...

Rings of the Secret Scribe

Ring, common


This pair of rings only function when worn on adjacent fingers: typically on a thumb and forefinger. While pinching the two fingers together, such as when pantomiming writing with a quill, you can magically write on any surface within one inch of your fingers. The writing itself appears in nonmagical ink in a color of your choice.


Lemme make a note of that.

If you're proficie...

Depending on where they train, a monk will gain uncanny mastery over their ki and physicalability using ancient traditions and techniques passed down from one generation to the...

Cat Eye Glasses

Wondrous item, uncommon


These glasses are incredibly dark. When light hits them at the right angle, they seem to glow with an otherworldly light. While wearing the glasses, anything brightly lit appears dimly lit to you instead. Despite their shadowy lenses, the glasses offer additional clarity when seeing things in darkness: you don't suffer any penalties when perceiving or targeting a creature within 30 feet of you as a result of it being in nonmagical darkness.

Weapon (pike), rare (requires attunement)


This weapon is made of sanctified mourningsteel. Whenever you hit a target with this weapon, roll an additional damage die and ignore the lowest result. If the target is undead, the weapon deals radiant damage, instead of piercing damage, and uses the total of all rolled damage dice.

Pipe of the Mermaid

Wondrous item, uncommon


This pipe is carved in the shape of a wooden mermaid holding a silver pitcher. You can smoke the pipe as normal using pipe tobacco. When you do, smoke pours from the pitcher before eventually rising.

Sirens favored these docks for the nu...

Wailing Ring

Ring, uncommon (requires attunement)


This tarnished ring is thick and has the texture of over-taut skin.

Sending Slates

Wondrous item, rare

Either slate can be erased or written on using an ac...

Crown of the Cursed King

Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)


This tarnished crown was originally worn by a maddened king, whose hunger for power could seemingly not be stopped. Only with old age was his reign brought to an eventual end, at which time all symbols of his power were systematically destroyed, including this crown. However, his malevolent spirit remains in the form of magical strands of force that hold its pieces together—a lasting sign of his unwillingness to cede h...

Vortex Elixir

Potion, rare

For the next 10 minutes, ranged weapon attack rolls against you are made with disadvantage, and you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to cause the wind to strengthen.
