Rip them apart!

A good spell on its own -- even better with natural weapon synergy.

Hobbled is a custom condition under which every 1 foot of movement costs 2 feet, and the target has disadvantage on saves vs being restrained.

Rod rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster) While holding this rod you gain a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your spell, and you know the

Bane spell and can cast it using your spellcasting ability, In addition, you can also cast the Bestow Curse spell without concentration and without expending a spell slot. Once you cast this spell in this way, you can't cast the spell in this way again until you finish a short rest.

Every time you use this feature of the rod you are afflicted by a random curse of minor inconvenience. Roll on the Inconvenient Curse table to determine the magical affliction. Consequential effects of the curses, if any are to be determined at the GM's discretion, as is whether to reroll for curses already active, or to allow the curse to stack. Curses acquired from this item last until dispelled such as with the Remove Curse spell Curses can only be removed one at a time, unless removed by the effects of Divine Intervention or the Wish spell

The Loose Scrying Eye

Very Rare, Wonderous Item, Requires Attunement

A crystalline pale grey sphere, 6 inches in diameter, that appears full of a cloudy pale blue fluid that sparkles like the night sky. Cutting through the cloud within is a thin black intangible slit pupil similar to a cat’s eye, the darkness seems to cut through visible light and trains on the closest living entity within eye shot or upon the creature it is attuned to. The direct gaze leaves the observed feeling as though 100 eyes are glaring upon them.

Once a day while attuned to the eye you may use it to cast the 5th level spell Scrying without consuming a spell slot. The effects are as described in the PHB.

In addition, the eye may be placed anywhere you wish, as with a familiar you may choose to immerse yourself within the eye’s perspective seeing but not hearing everything it sees, it always looks in the direction of the nearest creature and this perspective cannot be changed. This effect lasts from upto 100 feet away.

The catch:

Each eye has a twin item, a small crystal bowl full of pale blue liquid that cannot be poured from the bowl, the bowl is deep and wide enough to perfectly hold the eye it was made in accordance with. However, these items are rarely found together as thieves, clumsiness, misunderstandings or intentional malicious sales techniques have lead to the eyes being separated from their “Sockets of Scrying”

The Socket be attuned to and once a creature does they will see the bowl full, not of pale blue liquid, instead they will see everything the eye sees at all times.

Is the ability to spy on others worth a mysterious unknown third party spying on you?

Hey! I have not posted anything recently so I needed to make something. This is The Ember. A Powerful sword of flame which burns through it’s opponents. The Sword is actually what one of my campaigners are trying to achieve, but have not yet reached it. Speaking of which, if you can see this, don't.

Divine magic has theumatic roots in real world mythology and folklore. Because of this, arcane magic has traditionally been portrayed as the antithesis of this notion, and as such the arcane feels flashy and less well rooted (just in my opinion) with the classical adventure story. In fairy tales the wizards and other magicians would manipulate the natural world a lot more than current d&d give a credit for, and spells like mage hand, most evocation magic, and leomund's tiny hut seem to be, while original and inventive, stepping away from the mystery and poetic heart of what magic can be when themes and established cause are not executed well or go unused.

For example, Brennan Lee Mulligan of Dimension 20, portrays wild-magic sorcerer Pete's magic not in the traditional "Oh your powers are chaotic and spawn from limbo, a realm of elemental chaos yada yada". He instead explains that Pete's magic is granted by the realm of dreaming, and narrates each spell in accordance to how it could relate to dreams. For example fire is not just "okay so you throw a firebolt and it hits him for blah damage". He gets Pete's (Ally) player to give an idea of what Pete may be feeling and cast spells based off that (lovely and sorcery), and the fire is described as the warm fire of a hearth from the dreams of a child, or the roaring fire of a guy fawkes, all pulled from the land of dreaming. Arcane zip-zap-boing is given a plausible and natural basis, the themes of which are integrally tied to campaign, the notions of dreams and hopes and how they can be manifested in the real world.
