Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks to wound yourself with the sword instead. When you do, you take 1d6 + 1 necrotic damage, which can't be reduced or prevented in any way. Then, choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature becomes cursed by the sword for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as...

Hey heroes!
In case you were wondering about why I suddenly made a little mini-pack of sci-fi-adjacent items the other week (the force safe, sunfire, and arkanotana), it's because I wanted to make a little bundle for Cze and Peku's new series of sci-fi spaceship battlemaps, Hyperdrive Fleet. Cze and Peku are long-time friends of the Saddlebag, as many of you know, ...

"Geez, how many of those are you going to eat? You know it's going to give you an upset stomach, right?"

A gilded ticket is a small strip of paper that's outlined with gold leaf. You can use an action to write in a destination along a blank line on the bottom of the paper. Once a destination has been written into the space, it can't be removed.
Once a destination is written on the ticket, you can use an action to speak its command word (typically written somewhere on the paper) to cast the teleport spell from it. When you do, ...

This small whittling knife has a green blade and can be used in place of a set of woodcarver's tools. Its wooden handle is decorated with carvings of soft leaves and fitted with a verdant, opal-like gemstone ring.
Over the course of several hours, you can use the knife to carve a Tiny statue from fine wood, which can't be larger than 1 foot in any dimension. At the end of each hour you spend carving the statue, make a DC 10 Dexterity check...

Golems always confused him. Living constructs that could walk, talk, and act just like the rest of humanity, but were forged by metal and magic. Where was the soul? Where was the magnificent random factor?
He pondered this each night as he watched the metallic construct sit and whittle by the camp firelight. After a week, it was too much.
"Why do you do that?" the man snapped. It sounded like an accusation.
The golem lifted its head and looked ...

"Aw, come on! It was a joke!" the halfling called after the tiefling, knowing full well that he'd pay later for it. The thought of how to make it up to his adventuring partner was quickly disrupted as he was suddenly upended, his feet having been swept out from under him. He winced when he hit the ground, eyes settling on the ceiling before rolling over to the nearby monk.
"I'm goin' ta go get sum food. I'm not savin' ya anythin'." As the feet padded away, the smaller man g...

We could not stop them from walking down our cobbled streets and knocking on our heavy doors. Despite their audacity, they dared not enter our homes without their starving hounds on chains. It was only a matter of time before we found a way to subdue them both for long enough to weave new hexes, terrible and cursed, to push back their damnable campaign.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This incense burner is roughly 6 inches tall and resembles a tiny witch. A stick of incense can be placed inside the burner and lit using an action. The smoke drifts upward and disperses through the hat-like cap at its top. Creatures within 30 feet of the censer can smell its burning incense. Incense in the censer can burn for up to 10 minutes.
If the censer is burning fine incense worth at least 1 gp, ...

The king stalked the darkened halls, armed and armored against the accursed disquiet that had been eating at his mind since the evening's ball. Something about the eyes on him…
As he turned back to his rooms, a flicker of firelight vanished behind a corner. Gripping his blade tight, he dashed into the ill-lit crossing.
All he met was a single, guttering candle stump, the hallways empty beyond. He watched in confusion as it burned out, the only light in the ...

This pointed mage hat is weighed down and stiffened by the solidified wax of 7 candles set atop it. The candles are harmless, require no oxygen, and emit dim light in a 10-foot radius while lit. While wearing the hat, you can use a bonus action to mentally light or extinguish the candles, up to the maximum amount. The candles can only be lit in this way.

Armor (shield), uncommon
This shield is designed in the likeness of a brass stinkbug with green accents. While holding it, you can use your reaction when you're hit by a melee weapon attack to release a gaseous plume of stinking fog from the shield. The attacker must immediately succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or spend the rest of its action and bonus action retching and reeling. A creature that doesn't need to breathe is immune to this effect, but a cre...

You can remove a rose from the corsage as if you were unsheathing a weapon. When you do, the rose's stem magically extends from the flower, transforming into a long thorn at its tip. The ...

The elven boy looked up at the mysterious woman as she handed him a book. His eyes were wide with excitement, both at the unexpected gift, but also because it he'd never seen a human in the Wilds, let alone someone as famous as her.

Weapon (longsword), very rare
Arkanotanas are blades from a far-flung age and can sometimes be found in the lairs of sphinxes that have traveled through time.
The item appears to be a longsword hilt. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to cause a blade of electrical force to spring into existence, or make the blade disappear. The sword's crackling blade emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. Whil...

When not in use, this device appears like a square metallic tile. It's 6 inches on either side, 2 inches deep, and weighs 2 pounds. An indentation at the center of the tile opens into a small hole. When you use an action to place a finger in the indentation, the tile magically pricks it to extract a drop of blood.
If the tile isn't activated when it draws blood, it magically activates and creates a small, 1-foot cube of magical force below i...

The destruction of the Adamant Vault had been absolute. Layers of protective steel and stone collapsed inward or blasted to rubble, each repository's contents destroyed.
All, that is, but one. The sparking cube hovered in the center of the new crater, bright and unmarred.
