A PREHISTORIC COMMISSION for my dear patron Ruby-Talon! 😁

Guzma has found himself in a special kind of trouble thanks to time-travel shenanigans... Alongside a new partner Pokemon, his shiny Slither Wing! No doubt one of the funniest and most challenging illustrations I got to work on yet! :D Thank you for commissioning me!

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Hadiya’s Handy Quill Weapon (dart), uncommon (requires attunement) ___

This dart doubles as a magical quill and is fletched with three iridescent crow feathers. Immediately after you make a ranged attack with this magic weapon, it flies back to your hand. When you make a ranged attack with the dart, you can speak its first command word as part of the attack to cause the dart to release a splatter of ink. If the attack hits, the target is blind until the end of its next turn. A creature can use its action to clear away the ink on itself or another creature within its reach, allowing it to see again. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

When used as a quill, the dart produces its own ink unless you provide it with a different one. You can choose what color ink the quill produces by speaking its second command word as a bonus action.

In addition, you can use a bonus action to speak the quill’s third command word to cause it to vanish and reappear as a feather-like tattoo on your body. You choose the design and placement of the tattoo each time. You can use a bonus action to speak the command word again while you have the tattoo to cause it to vanish and reappear as a dart in a free hand or at your feet (your choice). ___

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Fireamber Scepter
Rod, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster) ___

A fire beetle has been preserved within the amber of this otherwise twisted wooden rod. While holding it, you can use an action to cast the “dancing lights” spell from it. When you do, the light is warm and fiery, and at the center of each glowing orb is an illusory, ghostly fire beetle; the glowing orbs can be combined to form a beetle-like shape. Alternatively, while you’re holding the scepter, you can cause its amber head to glow, shedding warm bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The scepter continues to glow until you drop it or end the effect (no action required).

𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚. While holding the rod, you can use an action to cast the “faerie fire” spell from it, using your spell save DC. This version of the spell also creates a swarm of insects (which appear as Tiny fire beetles) immediately after you cast the spell. The swarm appears in a space of your choice within the spell’s area. For the duration of the spell, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to cause the swarm to fly up to 60 feet toward a creature outlined by the spell and use its bite attack on it if it ends this movement in the creature’s space. The swarm uses your spell attack bonus to hit, instead of its normal bonus. Once this property of the rod has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

𝙄𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙣. While the rod is glowing, it can also be used as a magic club. When you attack with the rod, you can use your spellcasting ability modifier, instead of Strength, for the attack and damage rolls. ___
