Fiddlehead of Frondescence
Wand, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
-
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges and choose an unoccupied space on the ground within 60 feet of you. Roll a d8 and consult the following table to discover what happens. A plant or fungus produced by this wand withers away after 8 hours.
-
The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into dust and is destroyed.
-
1. A beautiful flower grows from the ground. The flower has 4 petals. As an action, you can pluck a petal and force a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see to make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, roll a d4. If you roll an even number, the target is charmed by you for 1 minute. While the creature is charmed in this way, it believes itself to be infatuated with you. If you roll an odd number, the target becomes hostile to you for 1 minute. A creature prone to violence might attack you. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
2. A bulbous melon, 5 feet in diameter and weighing 100 lb., emerges from the ground. The sweet, juicy flesh of the melon provides no nourishment but contains 10 gallons of fresh water.
3. A tiny weed springs from the ground. 1d4 + 1 goodberries dangle from its stalk.
4. A puffball, 3 inches in diameter, sprouts from the ground. You can use an action to throw the puffball up to 60 feet. The puffball explodes on impact and creates a 20-foot-radius cloud of dense black spores. The cloud spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. The cloud lingers in the air for 1 minute, or until a strong wind disperses it.
5. A cluster of 1d4 + 1 dandelion puffs pop up from the ground. While holding a dandelion puff, you fall at a safe speed, as if under the effect of the feather fall spell. Each puff can slow your fall for 1 minute before dissipating. A strong wind instantly destroys a dandelion puff.
6. An awakened shrub grows from the ground. It is friendly to you and your companions and it will obey your commands. (There is a 10% chance that a hostile awakened tree will appear instead).
7. A bioluminescent mushroom emerges from the ground, providing bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.
8. A small hole appears in the ground, just wide enough for you to put your hand into. The hole is too dark to see into, and it cannot be illuminated. Reaching into the hole as an action will reveal one of the following things (roll a d8):
1. The hole closes suddenly, severing your hand. You take 2d10 psychic damage and cannot use that hand for 1 hour, after which you realize it was an illusion. Nobody can convince you otherwise until the illusion passes.
2. Your hand is stung by an unseen venomous creature, you must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. While poisoned in this way, you cannot regain hit points.
3.Your hand is submerged into a viscous, numbing goo. You cannot feel that hand for 1 hour and any attack rolls using it have disadvantage.
4.Your hand is submerged into honey. A creature that licks the honey off of your hand as an action regains all lost hit points. The honey will attract an angry swarm of wasps every minute until it is gone.
5.You retrieve a Percussive Pinecone.
6.You retrieve a Scryer Beetle.
7.You grasp hair and pull. The head of a pleasant, but filthy, man is revealed. He seems to be submerged up to his neck, but unbothered. By talking to him for 1 minute, he remarks upon your plans and grants you an omen, as if you’ve cast the augury spell. Then he is sucked back into the hole and it closes.
8.You retrieve a leafy satchel filled with various gems worth 1d10 x 10 gp.
The hole closes after you remove your hand. Items retrieved from this hole don’t wither away after 8 hours like the other effects produced by this wand.
