⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Arkanobow Weapon (longbow), very rare (requires attunement) ___

“Arkanobows" are weapons from a far-flung age and can sometimes be found in the lairs of sphinxes that have traveled through time. You can use the bow as described below, even if you aren’t attuned to it.

The item appears to be a bow handle. While grasping it, you can use a bonus action to cause a pair of bow arms to spring into existence, one from either end of the riser, or make them disappear. The bow’s crackling arms emit bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. If you are proficient with shortbows or longbows, you are proficient with the "arkanobow”.

You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you draw the bow without an arrow, the bow magically creates its own. The created arrow is already nocked, made of pure electricity, and disappears if you don’t make an attack with it. On a hit, the weapon deals lightning damage, instead of piercing, and if the target is made of metal or wearing metal armor, you have advantage on the attack roll.

The weapon runs on a power source that’s fueled by magic. The bow’s arms can persist for up to 1 hour before the power source is empty. Deduct the time it persists in increments of 1 minute from the power source’s total time. You know how much remaining time the source has while holding the weapon. Any creature can use an action to expend a spell slot level of 1st level or higher into the power source, adding to its total remaining time, by touching the bow as the spell slot is expended. The power source regains a number of minutes of power equal to the spell slot level that was expended into it. When found, an “arkanobow" has 3d20 minutes of power remaining, and it can’t have more than 60 minutes of power at a time.

If you’re attuned to the bow, you can use the following properties by deducting additional minutes from the bow’s remaining time. The number of minutes you deduct depends on the property you use.

𝙅𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩. You can use an action to deduct 5 or more minutes from the the bow’s remaining time…

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Primordial Earth Heart Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement) ___

This crystal-pierced rock is shaped like a heart. It gently pulses while held and is always slightly warmer than body temperature. It is said that the first earth elemental was once a human that joined with such a heart.

As part of attuning to the heart, you must also hold it to your chest. Once you’ve attuned to it, the heart magically sinks into your chest, with its crystals just barely visible above the surface. While attuned to the heart, your skin becomes hard like stone, granting you the effects of the "stoneskin" spell. In addition, while you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 14 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨. While attuned to the heart, you can use an action to cast one of the following spells from it (save DC 17): "entangle", "spike growth", or "wall of stone". Each spell manifests as a series of jagged crystals. When a creature other than you enters the area of one of these spells (or within 5 feet of a "wall of stone") for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, that creature immediately takes 1d4 piercing damage from the jagged crystals. You are immune to the effects of the “entangle" and "spike growth" spells when cast in this way. Once the heart has been used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn.

𝘾𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚. This heart is cursed, and attuning to it extends that curse to you. While cursed, the stone and crystals spread across your body, gradually replacing your flesh with pure rock and crystal over the course of 30 days. After 30 days, you no longer need to breathe, you gain a burrowing speed equal to half your walking speed, and you have tremorsense out to a range of 10 feet. Your weight is also tripled; your swimming speed is reduced to 0 if you have one, and you sink to the bottom of any liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round, at which point you can walk as normal. Only a "wish" spell can end your attunement to the heart and remove the curse, at which point it erupts from your body, landing in a space within 5 feet of you. ___

Failing to hit a monster doesn’t always mean missing - this is a great idea to keep the tension high and letting the players feel like skilled badasses!

✨New item!✨ Stormpiercer Weapon (arrow), legendary (requires attunement)

You ignore the effects of strong wind and penalties to underwater ranged attacks made with this piece of magic ammunition, and it reappears in your hand after hitting or missing the target. You can choose to disperse weather effects, such as fog or rain, in a 10-foot-diameter sphere centered on Stormpiercer when it hits a target until the end of your next turn. If the weather effect is magical, make a Wisdom check against the caster’s spell save DC, dispelling the effect on a success.

When you make a ranged attack with this arrow you can choose to take 1d4 slashing damage on the arrow’s bladed fletching. This damage cannot be reduced in any way. If the arrow hits, it deals an extra 1d6 cold, 1d6 lightning, and 1d6 thunder damage to the target.

As a bonus action immediately before making an attack with Stormpiercer, you can grant yourself truesight out to 120 feet for 1 minute. The truesight ends early if you use an action or reaction to do anything other than attack with Stormpiercer. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Stormpiercer is rumored to be one of the arrows in the quiver of the Harbinger. Once a man, now a cursed creature of wrath and thunderous violence that arrives in the eye of hurricanes to sunder ships and slay their crew. A rare survivor washed ashore with this prize impaled in his gut, telling a feverish tale of a being with icy skin, and an albatross slung round his neck, dealing death with bow and arrow. After the sailor succumbed, this fearsome arrow was retrieved from the wound and given its name. No one dares to bear Stormpiercer across the sea out of a dreadful suspicion that the Harbinger seeks to refill his quiver ever still.
