Anvil of the Underdark

Anvil of the Underdark

Armor (Shield)

Legendary Requires Attunement

The Anvil of the Underdark is drow in origin. It is specially made to repel overworld creatures from the underworld. The shield grants immunity to force damage and resistance to radiant damage.
This shield has a maximum of 6 charges; at the beginning of each combat, the number of charges is set to 2. Each time the shield is used to parry an attack (ie: the attack to hit is greater than AC without the shield, but less than the AC with the shield), the shield gains a number of charges equal to the effectiveness of the shield.
Charges may be cast to retaliate against enemies. It costs a bonus action to activate the shield, unless the activated spell takes an action to cast.
Scorching Ray. You can spend 2 charges to cast second level Scorching Ray from the shield. Use one additional charge for every level upcast, up to level 6
Staggering Smite. You can spend 4 charges to cast Staggering Smite from the shield.
Blade Barrier. You can spend 6 charges to cast Blade Barrier from the shield

After being studied by Yola, an additional property has been revealed: Blindness/Darkness. You can spend 2 charges to cast Blindness/Deafness. Use on additional charge for every level upcast, up to level 6. This is a +2 Shield. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.
