Collection: Spellcasting Items

Book of the Reactive Caster

Book, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

You can use this book as your spellcasting focus. If you are a wizard, you can use this book as your spellbook.

Additionally, while attuned to this book, you gain an additional, special reaction. You can only use this second reaction to cast a spell of 1st-level or higher, and can't use both your reactions on the same turn. Any spell you cast using this special reaction has its range doubled, to a maximum of 120 feet, unless the spell's range is "self".

Circlet of the Enchanter

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a bard, paladin, sorcerer, warlock or wizard)

While attuned to this circlet, any creature you target with a spell from the enchantment school that requires a saving throw has disadvantage on that saving throw. However, if you or an ally of yours is fighting the creature, that creature instead doesn't gain advantage on their saving throw.

Additionally, any creature you target with a spell from the enchantment school is unaware you cast a spell on them, regardless of if they made the save or if the spell's effect ends for them.

Darkbead

Wondrous item, rarity varies (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Any cleric, druid, paladin, or wizard that attunes to this blackened bead gains a bonus to the number of spells they can prepare each day. This bonus depends on the rarity of the darkbead, as detailed in the "Darkbead Rarity"-table.

Darkbead Rarity

Rarity	Preparation Bonus
Uncommon	+1
Rare	+2
Very rare	+3
Legendary	+5

Necklace of the Sage

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a druid)

This necklace contains 4 charges. It remains worn by you even if you Wild Shape, and doesn't meld into your form (provided that your new form has the right anatomy to wear a necklace).

Choose one creature with the aberration, dragon, monstrosity or ooze creature type. Its Challenge Rating must be equal to or lower than your maximum Wild Shape Challenge Rating. Once per day, when you Wild Shape, you may transform into your chosen creature instead of one of the beast shapes you know. You must abide by all other Wild Shape-requirements. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Ring of the Blue Mage

Ring, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This ring contains 3 charges. When you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher, you can expend one charge and treat the spell as if you expended a spell slot of one level higher than the slot you expended.

This ring regains 1d4-1 charges daily at dawn (minimum of 1 charge).

Shard of the Mystic

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a warlock)

While attuned to this glistening, purple shard of crystal, you can cast a spell once a day without expending a spell slot. When you cast any spell you know that is at least one level lower of your spell slot level, and that gains no benefit from being cast using a spell slot of a higher level, such as misty step or remove curse, you can cast that spell without expending one of your spell slots.

Once you use this ability from the Shard, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Staff of the Bloodless

Staff, rare

This staff has a crystal at one end that's made of a strange, translucent material. When you cast a spell that targets a creature that has the undead creature type, you ignore any damage resistances or condition immunities that the target has. Additionally, any creature you damage with a spell while holding this staff cannot use its Undead Fortitude ability, if it has one.
