So I pulled some mostly random Magic: the Gathering cards together to make this D&D 5e magic item based on what their artwork looks like what effect they'd produce. It's mildly inspired by "The Deck of Many Things" but a lot more forgiving. This is my first time making an item like this so some feedback would be great if it is needed. If it looks interesting please go use it or change it to your liking. I'd love to hear stories of this item in action.

The Deck of Boons

Magic Item (Wonderous) Very Rare(???)

This deck of cards is stored in a very pristine deck box made of wood taken from the finest Arborean trees. It also has gemstones of various kinds embedded into it although there is usually at least one emerald.

You can use an action to draw a card from the deck, activating it's effect according to the "Deck of Boons Table" as seen below.

Any spells that are cast use Constitution as it's spellcasting ability, a spell attack modifier of your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier, and a Spell Save DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier

Unpopular DnD opinion

Vatican magic is a dumb system for an in universe setting, Discworld aside. Like, I get the point of it from a gameplay balancing issue but there's something about a wizard just flat out forgetting to how to cast, say, Fireball, that just comes off as, well, dumb to me.

A more complex, reality warping spell I can get the logic of forgetting that when cast but applying that logic to all spells and having a limited number per day just seems so... artificial I guess.

Also the spell names are bland as hell. Dr. Strange would not approve. ;)

NEW SPELL!!  This one is a work in progress. I’m not satisfied with the art so I will likely try again once I learn how to draw lava. There are also a few things that will likely need to be tweaked. I kept the damage lower than falling in actual lava (which is briefly discussed in the traps section of the DMG pg 249) and tried to word the spell so that the AOE would be constrained but not specific. I imagined the magical lava is only a thin layer so you don’t get submerged. Please share any and all critiques. I will do errata below :)  The Floor is Lava 5th level Conjuration Casting Time: 1 Action Range/Area: special Components: V,S,M* Duration: 1 hour (concentration) Attack/Save: Dex Save Damage/Effect: Fire Classes: Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid  You cause the ground floor within one room of a humanoid dwelling, in which you occupy, to become a magical facsimile of molten lava. This lava floor spreads around inanimate obstacles and supports objects, and furniture without damaging them. For the duration the floor is considered difficult terrain.  A creature making contact with the floor when the lava appears can make a Dexterity saving throw to pull themselves onto a raised platform it can reach, thus avoiding the lava. On a failed save the creature takes 5d8 fire damage. A creature takes the same damage if it touches the floor for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.  When the spell ends the lava vanishes as if it never appeared.  At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d8 and the lava can spread to one additional room in the structure per spell slot above 5th.  *(a tiny piece of Sulphur smudged carpet or rug)  As with all my items, these will also be uploaded to @dndbeyond to freely use in your campaign.  Thank you so much for the follows, likes, and inspiration!!  #dndhomebrew #dnd #dnd5e #dndspells #dndmagic #dungeonsanddragons #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #ttrpg #rpg #thefloorislava #dndart   https://www.instagram.com/p/CM4sAdBhS4L/?igshid=9t10613iph4n
