Vault Armor And Weapons

This page contains magical armors that exude molten lava, help you survive beneath the ocean waves, or are constructed from the hides of monstrous creatures. It also features weapons that drink the blood of those they strike, unerringly find their mark against ghostly foes, or even open rifts to the Void. Find everything heroes need to armor themselves against great threats and slay terrible monsters!

Agile Armor

Armor (any medium or heavy), common

This magically enhanced armor is less bulky than its nonmagical version. While wearing a suit of medium agile armor, the maximum Dexterity modifier you can add to determine your Armor Class is 3, instead of 2. While wearing a suit of heavy agile armor, the maximum Dexterity modifier you can add to determine your Armor Class is 1, instead of 0.

Akaasit Blade

Weapon (dagger), rare

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. This dagger is crafted from the arm blade of a defeated akaasit (see Tome of Beasts 2). You can use an action to activate a small measure of prescience within the dagger for 1 minute. If you are attacked by a creature you can see within 5 feet of you while this effect is active, you can use your reaction to make one attack with this dagger against the attacker. If your attack hits, the dagger loses its prescience, and its prescience can’t be activated again until the next dawn.

Anchor of Striking

Weapon (war pick), rare (requires attunement)

This small rusty iron anchor feels sturdy in spite of its appearance. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic war pick.

When you roll a 20 on an attack roll made with this weapon, the target is wrapped in ethereal golden chains that extend from the bottom of the anchor. As an action, the chained target can make a DC 15 Strength or Dexterity check, freeing itself from the chains on a success. Alternatively, you can use a bonus action to command the chains to disappear, freeing the target. The chains are constructed of magical force and can’t be damaged, though they can be destroyed with a disintegrate spell. While the target is wrapped in these chains, you and the target can’t move further than 50 feet from each other.

Angry Hornet

Weapon (any ammunition), uncommon

This black ammunition has yellow fletching or yellow paint. When you fire this magic ammunition, it makes an angry buzzing sound, and it multiplies in flight. As it flies, 2d4 identical pieces of ammunition magically appear around it, all speeding toward your target. Roll separate attack rolls for each additional arrow or bullet. Duplicate ammunition disappears after missing or after dealing its damage. If the angry hornet and all its duplicates miss, the angry hornet remains magical and can be fired again, otherwise it is destroyed.

Animated Chain Mail

Armor (chain mail), rare (requires attunement)

While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and you can use an action to cause parts of the armor to unravel into long, animated chains. While the chains are active, you have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, and your AC is reduced by 2. You can use a bonus action to deactivate the chains, returning the armor to normal.

Grasping Chains. While wearing this armor with the chains active, you can use an action to attack twice with the chains. You are proficient with the chains. Each chain has a reach of 10 feet and deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you hit a creature of your size or smaller using a chain, you automatically grapple the creature with the chain. You can have no more than two creatures grappled in this way at a time.

While grappling a target with a chain, you can’t attack other creatures with that chain. You can’t attack a creature with either chain if you are climbing.

Anointing Mace

Weapon (maul), uncommon (requires attunement)

Also called an anointing gada, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

In addition, the ornately decorated head of the mace holds a reservoir perforated with small holes. As an action, you can fill the reservoir with a single potion or vial of liquid, such as holy water or alchemist’s fire. You can press a button on the haft of the weapon as a bonus action, which opens the holes.

If you hit a target with the weapon while the holes are open, the weapon deals damage as normal and the target suffers the effects of the liquid. For example, an anointing mace filled with holy water deals an extra 2d6 radiant damage if it hits a fiend or undead. After you press the button and make an attack roll, the liquid is expended, regardless if your attack hits.

Armor of Cushioning

Armor (padded), uncommon

While wearing this armor, you have resistance to bludgeoning damage. In addition, you can use a reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to twice your level.

Armor of Spite

Armor (any heavy), rare (requires attunement)

Unholy glyphs engraved on this black iron magic armor burn with a faint, orange light. While wearing the armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.

At the start of your turn, you can choose to allow attack rolls against you to have advantage. If you do, the glyphs shed dim light in a 5-foot radius, and you can use a reaction when a creature hits you with an attack to force the attacker to take necrotic damage equal to twice your proficiency bonus.

Armor of the Leaf

Armor (light or hide), uncommon (requires attunement by a ranger)

This suit of armor always has a forest or leaf motif and is usually green or brown in color. While wearing this armor in forest terrain, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

You can use an action to transform the armor into a cloud of swirling razor-sharp leaves, and each creature within 10 feet of you must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 slashing damage. For 1 minute, the cloud of leaves spreads out in a 10‑foot radius from you, making the area lightly obscured for creatures other than you. The cloud moves with you, remaining centered on you. A wind of at least 10 miles per hour disperses the cloud and ends the effect. While the armor is transformed, you don’t gain a base Armor Class from the armor. The armor can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

Armor of the Ngobou

Armor (hide), rare (requires attunement)

This thick and rough armor is made from the hide of a ngobou (see Tome of Beasts), an aggressive, ox-sized dinosaur known to threaten elephants of the plains. The horns and tusks of the dinosaur are worked into the armor as spiked shoulder pads.

While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and you have a magical sense for elephants. You automatically detect if an elephant has passed within 90 feet of your location within the last 24 hours, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) checks you make to find elephants.

Ngobou Charge. If you move at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. Elephants have disadvantage on this saving throw. Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Armor of Warding

Armor (light, medium, or heavy), uncommon (+1), rare (+2), or very rare (+3)

Charms and wards made of claws, feathers, scales, or similar objects adorn this armor, which is etched with the likenesses of the creatures that contributed the adornments. The armor provides protection against a specific type of foe, indicated by its adornments.

The armor provides protection against one of the following creature types: aberration, beast, celestial, construct, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, giant, humanoid, monstrosity, ooze, plant, or undead.

Arrow of Grabbing

Weapon (arrow), very rare

This arrow has a barbed head and is wound with a fine but strong thread that unravels as the arrow soars. If a creature takes damage from the arrow, the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 4d6 damage and have the arrowhead lodged in its flesh. A creature grabbed by this arrow can’t move farther away from you. At the end of its turn, the creature can attempt a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 4d6 piercing damage and dislodging the arrow on a success.

As an action, you can attempt to pull the grabbed creature up to 10 feet in a straight line toward you, forcing the creature to repeat the saving throw. If the creature fails, it moves up to 10 feet closer to you. If it succeeds, it takes 4d6 piercing damage and the arrow is dislodged.

Arrow of Unpleasant Herbs

Weapon (arrow), uncommon

This arrow’s tip is filled with magically preserved, poisonous herbs. When a creature takes damage from the arrow, the arrowhead breaks, releasing the herbs.

Asp’s Kiss

Weapon (shortsword), legendary (requires attunement by a bard, fighter, ranger, or rogue)

This haladie features two short, slightly curved blades attached to a single hilt with a short, blue‑sheened spike on the hand guard. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

While attuned to this sword, you have immunity to poison damage, and, when you take the Dash action, the extra movement you gain is double your speed instead of equal to your speed. When you use the Attack action with this sword, you can make one attack with its hand guard spike (treat as a dagger) as a bonus action.

You can use an action to cause indigo poison to coat the blades of this sword. The poison remains for 1 minute or until two attacks using the blade of this weapon hit one or more creatures. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 poison damage and its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the poison damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. The sword can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

When you kill a creature with this weapon, it sheds a single, blue tear as it takes its last breath.

Axe of the Ancients

Weapon (handaxe), uncommon (requires attunement)

Barbed Fang

Weapon (dagger), rare (requires attunement)

This dagger’s blade is composed of black, bone-like material. Tales suggest the weapon is fashioned from a voidling’s (see Tome of Beasts) tendril barb.

If you are in dim light or darkness, you regain a number of hit points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt.

Black and White Daggers

Weapon (dagger), rare (requires attunement)

These matched daggers are identical except for the stones set in their pommels. One pommel is chalcedony (opaque white), the other is obsidian (opaque black). You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with both magic weapons.

The bonus increases to +3 when you use the white dagger to attack a monstrosity, and it increases to +3 when you use the black dagger to attack an undead.

A creature damaged by the blade must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by you until the end of its next turn. A creature can’t be charmed this way more than once every 24 hours.

Blade of the Dervish

Weapon (scimitar), rare (requires attunement)

This magic scimitar is empowered by your movements. For every 10 feet you move before making an attack, you gain a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls of that attack, and the scimitar deals an extra 1d6 slashing damage if the attack hits (maximum of +3 and 3d6).

Blade of the Temple Guardian

Weapon (shortsword), uncommon (requires attunement by a monk)

This simple but elegant shortsword is a magic weapon. When you are wielding it and use the Flurry of Blows class feature, you can make your bonus attacks with the sword rather than unarmed strikes.

If you deal damage to a creature with this weapon and reduce it to 0 hit points, you absorb some of its energy, regaining 1 expended ki point.

Bloodbow

Weapon (longbow), rare (requires attunement)

This longbow is carved of a light, sturdy wood such as hickory or yew, and it is almost always stained a deep maroon hue, lacquered and aged under layers of sundried blood. The bow is sometimes decorated with reptilian teeth, centaur tails, or other battle trophies.

The bow is designed to harm the particular type of creature whose blood most recently soaked the weapon. When you make a ranged attack roll with this magic weapon against a creature of that type, you have a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls. If the attack hits, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become enraged until the end of your next turn. While enraged, the target suffers a random short-term madness.

Bloodbows are most commonly soaked in the blood of bandits, thieves, or other humanoids. If you soak this weapon in the blood of a different type of creature for at least 1 hour, it ceases to affect the previous type of creature. The bow affects the new type of creature after you finish a long rest.

Blooddrinker Spear

Weapon (spear), rare (requires attunement)

Prized by gnolls, the upper haft of this spear is decorated with tiny animal skulls, feathers, and other adornments. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with this magic weapon.

When you hit a creature with this spear, you mark that creature for 1 hour. Until the mark ends, you deal an extra 1d6 damage to the target whenever you hit it with the spear, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check you make to find the target. If the target drops to 0 hit points, the mark ends. This property can’t be used on a different creature until you spend a short rest cleaning the previous target’s blood from the spear.

Bloodfuel Weapon

Weapon (any weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage), rare (requires attunement)

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The first time you attack with the weapon on each of your turns, you can spend one or more Hit Dice, up to your maximum Hit Dice. For each Hit Die spent in this way, you roll thedie and add your Constitution modifier to it. You lose hit points equal to the total, and the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to the total. You can’t use this feature of the weapon if you don’t have blood. Hit Dice spent using this weapon’s feature can’t be used to regain hit points during a short rest. You regain spent Hit Dice as normal.

Bloodprice Armor

Armor (light, medium, or heavy), legendary (requires attunement)

When a melee attack would hit you while you are wearing this armor, you can use your reaction to increase your Armor Class by up to 10 against that attack. If you do so, you lose hit points equal to 5 times the bonus you want to add to your AC. For example, if you want to increase your AC by 2 against that attack, you lose 10 hit points.

Blood-Soaked Hide

Armor (hide), very rare (requires attunement)

Blood-soaked hide armor is crafted from the tanned skins of humanoids, carefully preserved and layered. The armor is always smeared in tacky, semi-dried blood, no matter how carefully it’s cleaned. While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and you are immune to any effect that would cause you to lose hit points due to blood loss or ongoing wounds, such as the infernal wounds caused by a horned devil’s tail or the necrotic damage caused by a sword of wounding.

Blood Form. As an action, you can transform into a flowing pool of thick blood for 1 minute, or until you use a bonus action to revert back to your true form.

Any equipment you are wearing or carrying melds into your form or falls to the ground (your choice). Your statistics remain the same, but any magic items other than the blood-soaked hide cease to function. While in blood form, you can’t speak, you are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, you can move through any opening as small as 1 inch wide without squeezing, and you can enter the space of other creatures and end your turn there.

A creature that starts its turn in your space must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or lose 3d6 hit points due to blood loss, and you regain a number of hit points equal to half the number of hit points the creature lost. Constructs and undead who aren’t vampires are immune to this effect. Once used, you can’t use this property of the armor again until the next dawn.

Bloodthirsty Weapon

Weapon (any weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage), rare (requires attunement)

This magic weapon bears long, branching channels inscribed into its blade or head, and it gives off a coppery scent. When you damage a creature that has blood with this weapon, it loses an additional 2d6 hit points from blood loss.

Thirsting. The weapon acquires a taste for creatures it damaged. When you miss an attack with this weapon against a creature you damaged with this weapon within the last 1 minute, the target loses 2d6 hit points due to blood loss as the weapon draws blood out of open wounds as it passes. If the wounded creature uses an action to stanch the wound with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check or the creature receives magical healing, the blade no longer has a taste for it, preventing this property from triggering. This property doesn’t work against creatures that don’t have blood.

Bludgeon of Nightmares

Weapon (flail, mace, or morningstar), rare (requires attunement)

You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. The weapon appears to be a mace of disruption, and an identify spell reveals it to be such.

Curse. This weapon is cursed. Becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the weapon, keeping it on your person at all times. While attuned to this weapon, you have disadvantage on attack rolls made with weapons other than this one.

The first time you use this weapon to kill a creature that has an Intelligence score of 5 or higher, you begin having nightmares and disturbing visions that disrupt your rest. Each time you complete a long rest, you must make a Wisdom saving throw. The DC equals 10 + the total number of creatures with Intelligence 5 or higher that you’ve reduced to 0 hit points with this weapon. On a failure, you gain no benefits from that long rest, and you gain one level of exhaustion.

Bone Whip

Weapon (whip), very rare (requires attunement)

This whip is constructed of humanoid vertebrae with their edges magically sharpened and pointed. The bones are joined together into a coiled line by strands of steel wire. The handle is half a femur wrapped in soft leather of tanned humanoid skin. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with this weapon.

You can use an action to cause fiendish energy to coat the whip. For 1 minute, you gain 5 temporary hit points the first time you hit a creature on each turn.

In addition, when you deal damage to a creature with this weapon, the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage dealt. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. Once used, this property of the whip can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Bonebreaker Mace

Weapon (any weapon that deals bludgeoning damage), rare (requires attunement)

Armor (shield), rare (requires attunement)

This rectangular shield is plated with polished brass and resembles a crenelated tower. While wielding this shield, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield’s normal bonus to AC.

Brazen Wall. As an action, you can plant the shield in the ground in front of you, transforming it into a steel wall 10 feet high, 3 inches thick, and up to 20 feet wide. The wall has arrow slits set at 5-foot intervals and provides three‑quarters cover to creatures behind it. The wall remains in place for 1 hour or until you use an action while within 5 feet of the wall to don the shield. Each 10-foot‑by‑10-foot section of the wall has AC 17 and 30 hit points.

If both sections of the wall are reduced to 0 hit points, the shield reverts to its normal form, and its magic ceases to function until the next dawn. Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Breaker Lance

Weapon (lance), rare (requires attunement)

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with this magic weapon. When you attack an object or structure with this magic lance and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target.

You must make a Strength check against a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. On a successful check, the spell ends. The lance regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Bullseye Arrow

Weapon (arrow), uncommon

This arrow has bright red fletching and a blunt, red tip. You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls made with this magic arrow. On a hit, the arrow deals no damage, but it paints a magical red dot on the target for 1 minute. While the dot lasts, the target takes an extra 1d4 damage of the weapon’s type from any ranged attack that hits it. In addition, ranged weapon attacks against the target score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. When this arrow hits a target, the arrow vanishes in a flash of red light and is destroyed.

Buzzing Blade

Weapon (any sword or axe), rare (requires attunement)

You can use a bonus action to speak this weapon’s command word, causing the blade to emit a loud buzzing sound. The buzzing noise is audible out to 100 feet. While the sword is buzzing, it deals an extra 2d6 thunder damage to any target it hits. The buzzing lasts until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or sheathe the weapon.

Candied Axe

Weapon (battleaxe), very rare (requires attunement)

This battleaxe bears a golden head spun from crystalized honey. Its wooden handle is carved with reliefs of bees. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Blessing of the Bee. While you are attuned to the axe, you have immunity to poison damage, and you have advantage on any Charisma check to interact with beasts.

Honey Drip. While you are holding the battleaxe, you can use an action to cast the slow spell (save DC 15) from the weapon. Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Curse. The axe bears a curse that affects any nonbearfolk that attunes to it. Even if the attunement ends, the curse remains. With each passing day, the creature’s physical appearance and stature become more bearlike. After 7 days, the creature looks like a typical bearfolk, but the creature neither loses its racial traits nor gains the racial traits of a bearfolk.

The physical changes wrought by the axe can’t be dispelled, but they can be undone by any effect that removes a curse, such as the remove curse spell.

Cephalopod Breastplate

Armor (breastplate), rare

This bronze breastplate depicts two krakens fighting. While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

You can use an action to speak the armor’s command word to release a cloud of black mist (if above water) or black ink (if underwater). It billows out from you in a 20-foot-radius cloud of mist or ink. The area is heavily obscured for 1 minute, although a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) or a significant current disperses it. The armor can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

Chainbreaker Blade

Weapon (any sword), rare

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

In addition, such items have vulnerability to this sword’s weapon damage.

Chieftain’s Axe

Weapon (battleaxe), very rare (requires attunement)

Furs conceal the worn runes lining the haft of this oversized, silver-headed battleaxe. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this silvered, magic weapon.

Chieftain’s Rally. You can use an action to raise the axe while shouting a rallying cry. All allies who can hear and see you can use a reaction to make a melee attack. Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Bearfolk Belonging. If you aren’t a bearfolk, bearfolk who see you carrying the chieftain’s axe are immediately hostile. In addition, you have disadvantage on Charisma checks to influence bearfolk. However, if you turn the axe over to bearfolk, provided you haven’t used the axe against bearfolk to their knowledge, they become friendly and, at the GM’s discretion, might provide aid to you and your allies.

Chillblain Armor

Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), very rare (requires attunement)

This armor is forged from overlapping blue steel plates or blue rings and has a frosted appearance. While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and you have resistance to cold damage. In addition, when a creature hits you with a melee weapon attack, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become numbed by the supernatural cold radiating from the armor. A creature numbed by the cold can use either an action or bonus action on its turn, not both, and its movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.

Curse. This armor is cursed, a fact that is revealed only when an identify spell is cast on the armor or you attune to it. Attuning to the armor curses you until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic; removing the armor fails to end the curse.

While cursed, you have vulnerability to fire damage. If you are hit by a critical hit that deals fire damage while wearing this armor, the armor shatters into useless fragments.

Clockwork Mace of Divinity

Commander’s Plate

Armor (plate), uncommon

This armor is typically emblazoned or decorated with imagery of lions, bears, griffons, eagles, or other symbols of bravery and courage. While wearing this armor, your voice can be clearly heard by all friendly creatures within 300 feet of you if you so choose. Your voice doesn’t carry in areas where sound is prevented, such as in the area of the silence spell. Each friendly creature that can see or hear you has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

You can use a bonus action to rally a friendly creature that can see or hear you. The target gains a +1 bonus to attack or damage rolls on its next turn. Once you have rallied a creature, you can’t rally that creature again until it finishes a long rest.

Constant Dagger

Weapon (dagger), rare

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you roll a 20 on an attack roll made with this weapon, the target loses its resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage until the start of your next turn. If it has immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, its immunity instead becomes resistance to such damage until the start of your next turn. If the creature doesn’t have resistance or immunity to such damage, you roll your damage dice three times, instead of twice.

Consuming Rod

Weapon (mace), very rare (requires attunement)

This bone mace is crafted from a humanoid femur. One end is carved to resemble a ghoulish face, its mouth open wide and full of sharp fangs. The mace has 8 charges, and it recovers 1d6 + 2 charges daily at dawn.

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic mace. When it hits a creature, the mace’s mouth stretches gruesomely wide and bites the target, adding 3 (1d6) piercing damage to the attack. As a reaction, you can expend 1 charge to regain hit points equal to the piercing damage dealt.

Alternatively, you can use your reaction to expend 5 charges when you hit a Medium or smaller creature and force the mace to swallow the target. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed into an extra-dimensional space within the mace. While swallowed, the target is blinded and restrained, and it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the mace. The target can still breathe. As an action, you can force the mace to regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within 5 feet of the mace. The mace automatically regurgitates a trapped creature at dawn when it regains charges.

Crimson Starfall Arrow

Weapon (arrow), uncommon

This arrow is a magic weapon powered by the sacrifice of your own life energy and explodes upon impact. If you hit a creature with this arrow, you can spend one or more Hit Dice, up to your maximum Hit Dice. For each Hit Die spent in this way, you roll the die and add your Constitution modifier to it. You lose hit points equal to the total, and each creature within 10 feet of the target, including the target, must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking necrotic damage equal to the hit points you lost on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You can’t use this feature of the arrow if you don’t have blood.

Hit Dice spent on this arrow’s feature can’t be used to regain hit points during a short rest. You regain spent Hit Dice as normal.

Crocodile Armor

Crusader’s Shield

Armor (shield), common (requires attunement by a cleric, druid, or paladin)

A bronze boss is set in the center of this round shield. When you attune to the shield, the boss changes shape, becoming a symbol of your divine connection: a holy symbol for a cleric or paladin or an engraving of mistletoe or other sacred plant for a druid. You can use the shield as a spellcasting focus for your spells.

Versatile Cantrip. While holding the shield, you can try to cast a cantrip that you don’t know. The cantrip must be on your spell list, and you must make a DC 10 Intelligence (Religion) check. If the check succeeds, you cast the spell. If the check fails, so does the spell, and the action used to cast the spell is wasted. In either case, you can’t use this property again until you finish a long rest.

Dagger of the Barbed Devil

Weapon (dagger), rare

Each creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. For each target, roll a d6 and consult the following table to determine which color is reflected at it.

In addition, once every 7 days while the scalpel is on your person, you must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or become driven to feed blood to the scalpel. You have advantage on attack rolls with the scalpel until it is sated. The dagger is sated when you roll a 20 on an attack roll with it, after you deal 14 slashing damage with it, or after 1 hour elapses. If the hour elapses and you haven’t sated its thirst for blood, the dagger deals 14 slashing damage to you. If the dagger deals damage to you as a result of the curse, you can’t heal the damage for 24 hours.

The remove curse spell removes your attunement to the item and frees you from the curse. Alternatively, casting the banishment spell on the dagger forces the bearded devil’s essence to leave it. The scalpel then becomes a +1 dagger with no other properties.

If you reach your maximum hit points using this effect, you automatically fail the saving throw.

As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the sword, keeping it within reach at all times.
