Staff of the Talonweaver's Hold

Quarterstaff, Legendary

Uses an action, and concentration is required. It can be used once per day.

You can target any creature in view within a 50 ft radius. The target must make a wisdom saving throw, DC 15. If they fail, you are under complete and precise control of them as long as they are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required). It will obey as long as it is not self-inflicting harm. 

The only way to break the hold is to deal damage to the wielder to force them to make a concentration check. The user can also willingly release control of chosen minds. If they want to recast the staff, they must deactivate it, releasing all control of targets, before they can try again.

Screaming Shells

Item, Common

This item looks like a shell. As a free action it can be opened to emit a sound heard within 100ft. The sound can be any type.

Zephyr's Cuffs

Rare

This thick metal bracelet is inscribed with runes. It changes any physical alterations of the wearer back to whatever their true form may be. For example, it might force a doppelganger out of their disguised state. Or a dragon taking the form of a human would be changed back to a dragon. This does not work on illusions since it is not a physical alteration.

The Cuffs also have an unintended function. If the wearer is not humanoid, it transforms them into a humanoid but keeps all stats. Since this is not its intended function, this process is not perfect. For example, a bat-turned humanoid might still have massive bat ears and patches of fur. 

Cataclysmite

Cataclysmite is a perilous magical stone of ancient origin, possessing an unstable energy so potent that prolonged exposure to the elements can trigger a cataclysmic explosion capable of tearing through realities and unleashing horrors beyond comprehension. Its shimmering, shatter-like surface hints at the unrestrained force it holds.

Typically found in minuscule quantities, Cataclysmite is rare, often hidden deep within the heart of caverns or ancient ruins. Its scarcity means perilous quests must be endured in hopes of unearthing even the smallest fragment of it.

“The Nectar” - Vitae Nectar

Vitae can be refined into Vitae Nectar using powerful magic. When this happens, it calms from a raging darkness to a white, ethereal substance with flowing veins of gold. When injected into a corpse, it can temporarily return them to life. 

Creatures returned to life by this substance are indistinguishable from the living, except for a few notable differences such as no heartbeat, they don’t age, and their eyes are piercing yellow. To sustain their fabrication of life, they require doses of Vitae Nectar. The frequency of doses depends heavily on the body. For example, gnomes are able to go around a year without doses, dragons need it weekly, and average humanoids need it every 1-3 months.
