A bundle of new magic items with necromantic magic and undead summoners in mind. Some are just there as items I thought would be neat for a necromancer to wield.
Hereâs a link to the Homebrewery page:

Wondrous item (head), very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)Â
You can reassert control over twice as many undead when you cast the Animate Dead or Create Undead spells.
Wondrous item, rareÂ
This wet, preserved eyeball can be used to cast Eyebite, with a spell save DC of 16. When the spell ends, the eye closes shut and cannot be used again until the eye opens again each midnight.
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)Â
A creature attuned to this mummified elf hand can cast the Mage Hand cantrip at will. In addition, the creature can attune to an additional item, as long as itâs a ring placed on one of the fingers of the Hand of Glory.
Rod, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)Â
A rod crafted from a finely carved ghoul bone made to look like a mass of gnashing teeth. While holding the rod, damaging spells you cast of 1st level or higher deal a bonus 1d6 necrotic damage to each creature damaged by the spell. The rod itself hungers for flesh and requires its attuned wielder to deal necrotic damage to a living creature every 24 hours. Every 24 hours that the wielder fails to do so, the rod reduces the wielderâs maximum hit points by 1d6 until they sate the rodâs hunger.
Magic Weapon (mace), very rare (requires attunement)
The Mace of the Unhallowed is a +2 Mace. In addition, undead under your control within 60 feet of you gain resistance to magic damage and add your proficiency modifier to their saving throws against spells and magical effects. You can also use the mace to cast Darkness once per day.
Mantle of the Lurking Dead
Wondrous item (shoulders), uncommon (requires attunement)Â
You can change the appearance of undead controlled by you. To do so, you can use your action to touch an undead controlled by you that is a medium or small creature and humanoid in shape. That creature gains an illusory disguise similar to that of a Disguise Self spell. You choose the appearance of each creature you target. The undead appear to breathe and idle as if they were living beings, but do not hold up to physical scrutiny as the illusion is only visual. The illusion lasts as long as each target remains within 100 feet of you and under your command. There is no limit to the number of targets that can be affected by the mantle.
Rod, very rare (requires attunement)Â
Undead under your command gain a +1 bonus to AC and can make an extra attack during each of their turns as long as you hold the rod.
Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a spellcaster)Â
This silver and platinum staff topped with a sculpted skull is wrapped entirely in a grey veil. Tiny motes of pale blue light orbit the staff showing the number of charges it has. The staff has 20 charges and replenishes 2d8+4 charges each day at dusk. You have resistance to necrotic damage while you hold this staff.
Summon Undead. You can use your action and expend 2 or more charges to summon an undead in a space adjacent to you that will obey your verbal commands for 1 minute. You can summon a Specter (2 charges) or a Wraith (7 charges).
Spells. While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spell attack bonus: Cause Fear (XGtE, 1 charge), Fear (3 charges), Enervation (XGtE, 5 charges), or Finger of Death (7 charges).
Wondrous Item, rareÂ
A humanoid skull with gems in place of its eyes and teeth. The skull has one large gem in each eye socket and 2d6+4 small gems replacing some of its teeth. A creature can press one or more of the gems using their action to summon an undead that obeys their verbal commands for 1 minute. A gem crumbles to dust once it is used. When the skull has no gems remaining, it too crumbles to dust.
Small Gem. Touching one of the gems in the teeth summons a Zombie.
Large Gem. Touching one of the gems in the eye sockets summons an Ogre Zombie.Â
Alternatively, if at least 6 of the gems remain intact, the entire skull can be smashed against a hard surface, destroying it, to summon a Beholder Zombie.
Magic Weapon (sickle), rare (requires attunement)
The Reaping Blade is a +1 sickle. Whenever you hit a creature with an attack using the weapon, if that creature is not cursed by the weapon they become cursed. A creature cursed this way takes 1d8 additional necrotic damage from attacks made by the Reaping Blade. Only one creature can be cursed in this way at a time.
A creature that dies while cursed by the Reaping Blade has their soul drawn into the weapon. Using an action, you can tap into the life force of such a trapped soul. When you do, you regain 2d4+2 hit points. The soul then departs from the weapon. Only one soul can be stored in the Reaping Blade at a time. A soul stored in the Reaping Blade cannot be resurrected by any means short of a Wish spell until the soul departs from the weapon.
Wondrous item (neck), rareÂ
An undead creature that wears this necklace has advantage on saving throws against effects that would turn undead or cause it to become charmed or frightened.
Wondrous item, uncommon
A Vile Claw is a shriveled ghoul or ghast hand with blackened nails. Using an action, you can force a creature within 90 ft. to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes paralyzed for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature is only paralyzed until the start of your next turn. Each time the claw is used, one of its five fingers clenches closed. Once all five fingers have closed, the Vile Claw loses its magic.
Wondrous item, very rare
A Vile Claw is a shriveled hand of a powerful undead such as a mummy lord, lich, or vampire. Using an action, you can cast Finger of Death (spell save DC 15). Each time the claw is used, one of its five fingers clenches closed. Once all five fingers have closed, the Vile Claw loses its magic.
Wand, very rareÂ
This wand is a serpentine coil of blood vessels that have been magically preserved. Itâs point drips a drop of blood every few minutes. The wand has 3 charges that replenish each night at midnight. While wielding the wand, you can use your action and spend a charge to force a living creature you can see within 90 feet to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes incapacitated as they reel in pain. You can use your action each turn thereafter and maintain concentration (as if concentrating on a spell) to continue the effect.
Withered Heads of Command
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)Â
This pair of shrunken heads are bound to one another and allow you to command or reassert control of undead remotely. If you speak to one of the heads, all undead under your command within a 60 ft. radius of the paired head will hear it and obey any commands you issue through it. When you cast Animate Dead or Create Undead to reassert control of undead, if you have one of the heads on your person, you can also target undead that are within 60 ft. of the paired head. Most Necromancers will put a paired head on their most powerful undead around their neck or else mount it somewhere in a room the undead are required to guard.
