Out Now on the DMs Guild
Wintry Blast |
We are almost through my month of Magic to D&D conversions. Today's card is the last I go "deep" into, building out the initial inspiration into a full-fledged creation. Be sure to check out some of the previous posts where I went deep into the Talruum Champion, Flame Jet, and Dementia Bat.
Those previous posts included two creatures and a trap. Today, we have a magic item which was inspired by the Magic: The Gathering card Azorious Keyrune. If you are a Magic player, you know that the colors blue and white are heavy on flyers. Add in the flavor text that mentions "soaring high" and the artwork that is an eagle totem if I ever saw one, and this item almost made itself. I image this keyrune (I'm not exactly sure what that is), as the head on an impressive looking quarterstaff. The wielder of the staff gets to activate a variety of cool abilities all centered around the flight-motif. 5e is full of these types of items that center around a particular flavor. The Spider Staff from Lost Mines of Phandelver is an example one. This one is another. This staff could easily be a gift from an grateful Aarakocra NPC. Perhaps the NPC takes a PC's mundane staff and performs a series of rituals, imbuing the power and spirit of their kind into the item, transforming it into this magic staff. This is just one possible option for introducing this into your game. What others can you think of? Let me know on Twitter. Happy Questing!
