Woolycorn – Small celestial, lawful neutral

Wandering across the endless and desolate snowy plains, the woolycorn spends extended periods of its time alone – exposed not only to rough weather and tiring conditions but to its very own spiraling thoughts. And as much as it enjoys its sweet solitude, it is a quite sociable creature after all – at least from time to time. Thus, the woolycorn seizes any opportunity to find itself in company. Be it by guiding a blind drifter safely through otherwise impassable terrain, by sharing a story with a likewise lost traveler or by making itself at home within the legendary halls built by the keepers of the runic forge.

✨New item!✨ Arcanist’s Blade Weapon (any sword), rare (+1, 1st level), very rare (+2, 2nd level), legendary (+3, 3rd level) (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This surprisingly lightweight sword feels like a wand in your hand. By attuning to this weapon, you become proficient with it. While holding this magic weapon, you gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and the saving throw DCs of your spells. The bonus is determined by the weapon’s rarity. In addition, you can use the sword as a spellcasting focus. 

When you roll a 20 to hit a creature with this sword, you regain one spell slot. The slot must be the lowest level spell slot you have missing and the maximum spell level you can regain is determined by the weapon’s rarity. Once this property has been triggered a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, it can’t be triggered again until you finish a long rest.

As you grasp the hilt of the longsword, you can feel your mind extend into it. Runes alight, one-by-one down the blade. This is a weapon of arcane power. - 🖌🎨 Like our work?

New Year Fitness Goal App Recommendation

With the new year coming up and people making resolutions for fitness goals I thought I should shout out my love for my favorite App. Zombies, Run! is such a fun app where you play as a resource runner during the zombie apocalypse. It works by having you start a new chapter before a run, and it drops audio clips that build up a story as you complete the run. You set up your goal before the run, whether it is distance, time, or steps and it makes the story drops appear naturally during the length of your run. And in between story drops you can just listen to your music or whatever else.

The writing is great, and it can be really immersive. I know I definitely built up a connection to some of the characters displayed in the game.

For anyone who is looking for a fun app to motivate them I would definitely give this 10/5 Stars

✨New item!✨ Spellstealer’s Wand Wand, very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

The small gnarled hand at the end of this wand twitches and flexes occasionally.

This wand has 4 charges, and it regains 1 expended charge when you finish a long rest. As a reaction, you can expend 1 or more charges to cast the counterspell spell with this wand, using your spellcasting ability. For 1 charge, you cast the 3rd-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by two for each additional charge you expend. You have advantage on the ability check to counter a spell of a level greater than yours while using this wand.

Spellsteal. If you successfully counter a spell with this wand, you can choose to steal the countered spell and store it in the wand. Only a spell that requires an action or bonus action to cast can be stolen, and only one spell can be stored in the wand at a time. If you steal a spell while a spell is currently stored in the wand, the first spell is replaced. You can cast the stolen spell from the wand without requiring material components or expending a spell slot, using your spellcasting ability. After the spell is cast, it’s gone from the wand. If you attempt to steal a 6th level or higher spell with the wand, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 8 + the spell’s level. On a success, the spell is stolen successfully. On a failure, the wand overloads, expending all remaining charges and you take force damage equal to 10 times the spell’s level. If a spell of 6th level or higher is stored in the wand when you finish a long rest, the spell is consumed and the wand regains all expended charges. 

As the story goes, this wand was concocted from the severed hand of a thief and the soul of a wizard. Long ago, a daring thief snuck into the king’s palace and infiltrated the court wizard’s arcane library. A hoard of spell scrolls and magical artifacts were stored within. The thief took only the most powerful spell from the library, a wish. With this scroll, the thief wished for tremendous wealth. Riding high from their score, the thief went on a fabulous spending spree, attracting a lot of attention. By the time the king discovered he had been robbed, the thief was once again penniless and the wish long used up. In a rage, he arrested the thief along with his court wizard for allowing such an oversight. As punishment, the thief lost his hand and the wizard lost his life. - 🖌🎨 Like our work?

Salamancer – Tiny monstrosity, unaligned

″Pure coincidence…″, the authorities of Falbheim proclaimed; ″…in no way are the hordes of salamancers related to the most recent wizard incidents…″, they stuttered. Of course, evidence strongly suggested that the massive quantities of salamancers were indeed related to the most recent wizard incidents. Regardless, the citizens weren’t bothered too much anyway as they were used to far more obscure occurrences in the streets and outskirts of their beloved city. In fact, they seemed to actually enjoy the quite disruptive but quirky battles between these two curious monstrosities. Up until to the point where the wizard and the salamancer eventually decided to team up…

Being a person in southwestern us is stressful as heck. Mostly because I have to think of a witty long winded simile anytime I want to exaggerate a point.
