Magic Items

There are 7 categories of magic items: Potions & Oils, Scrolls, Magic Equipment,Exotic Components,Exotic Materials,Wondrous Items, and Cursed Items.

Magic Equipment

Often the most prized magic items, magic equipment is worn or wielded by heroes. There are ten types of magic equipment, plus ammunition.

ATTUNEMENT

Magic equipment requires a hero to bond to it to benefit from its magic. Bonding to magic equipment is called attunement. A hero can attune to two magical ammunitions, rings, implements, and weapons at a time and one armor, belt, boot, glove, helm, necklace, and shield. Magic equipment can only be attuned to one creature at a time.
After spending an hour in possession of a piece of magical equipment, a hero can make a luck roll to attempt to attune to it. If they are lucky, they attune to the item. If they are unlucky, they can try again after another hour. A hero can reduce the time it takes to attempt attunement to one minute by spending a hero's surge or attune immediately through the identify variant of detect magic.

POTIONS & OILS

Potions are consumable liquids that cast the spell they contain on their drinker. Oils are consumable liquids that cast the spell they contain on the object they are coated onto. Any spell that can target a single creature, such as cure wounds, can be made into a potion and any spell that can target a single object can be made into an oil. A potion or oil is valued as a consumable magic item of a level equal to its spell level.

SCROLLS

Scrolls are consumable documents that allow the reader to cast the spell they contain. To use a scroll, a creature must be capable of reading the language it is written in (usually arcane or divine). Heroes who use spellbooks can also expend a scroll to scribe a spell they are capable of learning to cast into their spellbook. Any spell can be enchanted into a scroll. A scroll is valued as a consumable magic item of a level equal to its spell level.

Ammunition

Ammunition Enchantments

Magical ammunition, from arrows to sling stones to atlatl darts, is used in ranged weapons. Ammunition is commonly enchanted in a bundle of 20. Thus, individual pieces of magic ammunition have a value of 1/20 of a standard magic item. If an enchantment specifies it targets a single piece of ammunition only, then this singular ammunition is valued as standard magic equipment.

Enspelled (i.e., Arrow of Uncontrollable Laughter, +0 to +5): This ammunition unleashes a spell upon its target or where it hits. If the spell affects a directional area, it matches the ammunition's direction of impact. A spell must be from the Conjuration or Enchantment school and able to target a creature or area to be enspelled into ammunition. Enspelled ammunition breaks after casting its spell if it is part of a bundle. If it is enchanted singularly, it instead delivers its spell the first time it is fired every day and after firing, the firer makes a luck roll. If the result is a 1, the ammunition breaks.

This number of additional pieces of ammunition from the set strike the target, dealing their damage dice.

Bane (+1, +2, +3, +4, +5)

For bane enchantments, choose a creature subtype or type its power effects.

Subtype's bane (i.e., Elf’s Bane Long Bow, +1): This weapon deals true damage to creatures of its subtype and glows dimly when they are within 30'.
Type's bane (i.e., Humanoid's Bane Long Bow, +2): This weapon deals true damage to creatures of its type and glows dimly when they are within 30'.
Subtypeslayer (i.e., Rabbitslayer Dagger, +1): This weapon doubles any bonus enchantment damage against creatures of its subtype and treats critically successful attacks against them as though the roll was a 20.
Typeslayer (i.e., Animalslayer Dagger, +2): This weapon doubles any bonus enchantment damage against creatures of its type and treats critically successful attacks against them as though the roll was a 20.

Imbued (+1, +2)

For imbued enchantments, choose between acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, and sonic.

Typing (i.e., Flaming Longsword, +1): This weapon's attacks deal an additional 1d4 damage of its imbued type on major successes.
Typetongue (i.e., Icetongue Spear, +1*): Once per day as part of their turn, the wielder of this weapon can transmute it into a weapon made fully of its imbued type. While transmuted, the weapon’s attacks cannot be parried, and its damage is converted to its imbued type. In addition, the weapon deals its Imbued (Typing) damage on attacks that result in normal success and deals half damage on attacks resulting in limited success. This transmutation ends after 1 minute or at the wielder's command.
*Prerequisite: An Imbued (Typing) enchantment.

Enchanted (+0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5)

Enchanted (i.e., Short Sword +1, +0 to +5): Attacks with this weapon deal +1 bonus damage per +. Though a +0 item deals no bonus damage, it is still considered magical.

Enspelled (+0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5)

For enspelled enchantments, choose a spell of a level equal to the item's + level.

Enspelled (i.e., Hammer of Dispel Magic, +0 to +5): Once per day when striking a target with an attack, the wielder of this weapon can cast the spell it is enspelled with on the target. Weapons can be enspelled with Evocation or Necromancy spells that can target a single creature.

Glamered (+1, +2)

Glamered (i.e., Glamered Halberd, +1): As an action, the wielder of this weapon can make it appear to be any other object of approximately the same size. This is only an illusion and does not affect its properties. While this weapon is glamered, the wielder gains a +1 rank bonus to their next attack. After making an attack or at the wielder's command, the weapon reverts to its normal form.

Transmuting (i.e., Transmuting Mace, +1): As an action, the wielder of this weapon can transmute it into a different weapon. After making a successful attack or at the wielder's command, this effect ends.
Chimeric (i.e., Chimeric Pike, +1*): Once per turn as part of their turn, the wielder of this weapon can transmute it into a different weapon. After making a successful attack or at the wielder's command, this effect ends.
*Prerequisite: A Glamered (Transmuting) enchantment.

Intelligent (+1, +3)

For intelligent enchantments, choose an intelligence to inhabit the item.

Whispering (i.e., Whispering Rapier, +1): The wielder of this weapon hears simple, single-word thoughts of the intelligence within it and can reroll an attempt made with it once per day.
Dancing (i.e., Dancing Crossbow, +2*): The wielder of this weapon can hold conversations with the intelligence within it. In addition, once per day after making an attack with it, the wielder can command this weapon to attack on its own. At the start of the wielder's next turn, the weapon flies up to 30' and repeats its attack against the same target or a different target of the DM's choosing within range as if the wielder made the attack. After making such an attack, the wielder makes a luck roll. If the result is unlucky, the effect ends. This effect also ends after a minute passes, if the wielder moves more than 100' away, or at the wielder's command. After this effect ends, the weapon reappears in its wielder’s hand or falls at their feet if their hands are occupied.
*Prerequisite: Other enchantments totaling a + value of 1.

Summoning (+1, +3)

Returning (i.e., Returning Handaxe, +1): As part of their turn, the wielder of this weapon can summon it into their hand.

Swarming (i.e., Darts of the Hornet's Nest, +3): Weapons with this enchantment must have a thrown range and come in a set of 12. When a swarming weapon is thrown at and hits a target, roll 1d4 for a normal success, 2d4 for a major, or 3d4 for a critical. Up to this number of additional weapons of the enchantment's set launch into the air and strike the target, dealing their damage dice. Once a swarming weapon has been used for this effect, it loses this enchantment until the next day.

Thirsting (+1)

Thirsting (i.e., Thirsting Spear, +1): After the wielder of this weapon misses an enemy with an attack, it gains a cumulative +1 rank bonus to attacks. After the weapon makes a successful attack or after a minute passes, this bonus ends.

Vorpal (+5*)

Vorpal (i.e., Vorpal Two-handed Sword, +1*): When the wielder of this weapon hits a target with it with a natural roll of 20, the attack deals double damage, and the wielder begins making luck rolls. Each lucky roll increases the attack's damage by an additional 1x. If two 20s are rolled at any point during the luck roll process, the attack instantly slays the target.

*Prerequisite: Other enchantments totaling a + value of 4.

MAGIC EQUIPMENT Definitions

Magic equipment descriptions contain the following information:
Name: The name of the enchantment type.
Item Level: The possible item levels for an enchantment follow its name in parentheses. Item levels from different types of enchantments are added together to determine an item’s overall + value.
For example, a thirsting elf's bane spear would have an item level of +2; +1 for the Thirsting enchantment and +1 for Bane (Subtype's Bane) enchantment.
An item can only be enchanted with one +0 enchantment. A magic item cannot be enchanted beyond +5.
Enchantment: Following the name and item level is the magic equipment's naming convention and description.
Bane: Bane enchantments protect from or inflict great harm on certain types of creatures. Each bane item has a creature type or subspecies type it affects. Bane enchantments might be created when an item is forged to deal with a specific threat, when a creature is slain by the item’s wielder, when an item’s wielder is scarred by the attack of a creature, or through a lifetime of hatred from the item’s owner.
Imbued: Imbued enchantments produce or protect from non-physical damage types, either acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or sonic. An item might become imbued through exposure to its type. Surviving a red dragon’s breath weapon, slaying a frost elemental, or retrieving the item from within a glacier are some ways in which an imbued enchantment could occur.
Enchanted: Enchanted enchantments provide bonuses that work in most situations. The enchanted enchantment is primarily acquired through the enchant item spell, longevity, belief that the item is magical, or acts of heroism. In addition, an enchanted item may be forged of rare or foreign metals or materials which are innately powerful.
Enspelled: An enspelled item has a spell enchanted into it. The enspelled enchantment is primarily acquired through the enchant item spell. Equipment enspelled with a spell possessing a duration can be deactivated as an action and reactivated in the standard manner while some of the duration remains unspent.

Glamered: Glamered enchantments disguise equipment to look like something else or allow their wearer to alter their appearance. The glamered enchantment can result from exposure to powerful illusion or transmutation effects.
Intelligent: An intelligent item possesses a mind or spirit of its own and can communicate and share power with its wielder in some fashion. Intelligent items have their own goals, alignments, and personalities. Intelligent items are usually created through the defeat of a foe or centuries of survival.
Skilled: Skill enchantments grant their wearer a particular skill. Long use by a skilled individual may imbue an item with a skill enchantment.
Summoning: Summoning enchantments hide items from the physical realm, return items or spells to their owner, draw other items to themselves, or return the wearer to places they have been. Summoning enchantments can occur through a wielder’s exposure to powerful extradimensional or summoning effects and mishaps in teleportation.
Thirsting: Thirsting enchantments cause items to seek their proper use. The thirsting enchantment may occur through a series of unsuccessful attempts or repeated suffering in a particularly dangerous situation.
Vorpal: Vorpal enchantments inflict devastating critical hits. The vorpal enchantment can only be applied to already-powerful equipment types. Aside from being found on an ancient, legendary item, a vorpal enchantment could occur after slaying the mightiest of creatures.
Prerequisites: An enchantment marked with an asterisk (*) has a prerequisite which must be met for the enchantment to occur.

Exotic Components

Certain rare items can be used as material components to enhance a spell's potency. Trophies from powerful monsters, such as maggots from a vampire's coffin or scales from a red dragon, make great exotic components.

• A spell can only benefit from one exotic component
• Enhancing a spell requires one component per spell level (minimum one). Thus, enhancing a fifth level spell requires spending five components.

Exotic components produce one of ten effects.

Concentrating (+4, Consumable)

Concentrating components remove a spell's concentration requirement for one minute. For example, confusion would last for one minute without requiring the caster's concentration. A miniature elven bow carved of spiderwood, a fragment from the sword of a king, and water from the deepest trench of an ocean make good concentrating components.

Empowering (+1, Consumable)

Empowering components increase the dice size of a spell’s damage, healing, or hit points affected by one. In example, a 1st level burning hands spell would deal 2d6 damage instead of 2d4 and a 1st level cure wounds would heal 1d10 + 1 hit points rather than 1d8 + 1. Dragon dung, hill giant tears, and meteorite shavings make good empowering components.

Enlarging (+2, Consumable)

Enlarging components double a spell’s area of effect. For example, dancing lights would illuminate a 40' sphere, rather than 20'. Gaseous spore spores, gorgon’s milk, and magic beans make good enlarging components.

Extending (+2, Consumable)

Extending components double a spell’s duration. For example, darkness would last for 20 minutes rather than 10. Pocket watches, time turners filled with celestial sand, or petrified phoenix eggs make good extending components.

Flair (+0, Consumable)

Flair components add style to a spell, producing harmless but dazzling sensory effects. A cure wounds might strike its target with a beam from the heavens with trumpeting fanfare, and a fireball might shoot off fireworks and make the air smell like fried desserts. Vials of glitter-infused holy water, dire firefly wings, rotten cockatrice eggs, and tins of cloud giant rouge make good flair components.

Heightening (+2, Consumable)

Heightening components increase a spell’s spell level by 1 or its effective caster level by 2. For example, a 2nd level elemental sphere spell would become 3rd level, dealing 3d6 damage, and a hallucinatory terrain spell cast by an 8th level wizard would affect a 300' sphere rather than a 260' sphere. A saint’s bone, griffon tears, and storm giant bellybutton lint make good heightening components.

Maximizing (+4, Consumable)

Maximizing components maximize a spell’s damage, healing, or hit points affected. For example, a 1st level burning hands would deal 8 fire damage and a 1st level cure wounds would heal 9 hit points. Powdered dragon horn, a leviathan's eye, or the heart of a minotaur make good maximizing components.

Penetrating (+3, Consumable)

Penetrating components bypass spell immunities granted by creature type. For example, sleep would work on a vampire and charm person would work on a bear. Cloud giant breath, rakshasa fingernails, and lich fingerbones make good penetrating components.

Quickening (+5, Consumable)

Quickening components allow a hero to cast a spell as part of their turn. A hero can only use a quickening component on one spell per turn. A witch’s tongue, coutl’s tail feather, and flawless diamond make good quickening components.

Reaching (+1, Consumable)

Reaching components double a spell's range. For example, daze could be cast at a range of 60'. A falcon’s eye, a roc feather, and the keystone of a bridge make good reaching components.

Exotic Materials

Like exotic components, exotic materials are not innately magical but provide a magical effect. Items crafted out of exotic materials benefit from their effects without adjusting their item level. However, for reward and value purposes, they are treated as increasing an item's value like a standard enchantment.
Example exotic materials include:

Adamantine (+0,+1, +2, +3, +4)

Adamantine is an extraordinarily strong metal coveted for weapons and armor. Items made from it cannot be sundered by non-adamantine weapons. Armor made from it allows the wearer, when subject to a critical hit, to make a luck roll to turn it into a normal hit once per + equivalent per day. Items made from adamantine have an equivalent value of one +1 magic item if they are around the size of a small shield or long sword. A bastard sword or large shield would be the equivalent of one and a half +1 items while a two-handed sword or tower shield would be the equivalent of two +1 items. Armor is instead valued as a +2 item for studded leather, +3 for medium armor, and +4 for heavy armor.

Cold Iron (+0, +1)

Loathed by fey creatures, cold iron is often used in weapons and armor. Fey creatures suffer anguish when touching cold iron and usually refuse to wield such weapons or grapple creatures wearing such armor. Standard cold iron items, such as longswords, have an equivalent value of one +0 magic item. Cold iron armor has an equivalent value of one +1 magic item.

Dragon Scale (+3)

Dragon scale is highly prized for scale mail. Scale mail armor made from dragon scale provides the wearer with resistance to damage of the dragon’s breath weapon type and 2 damage reduction to physical damage.

Mithril (+0, +1, +2)

Also known as true silver, mithril is an incredibly light yet strong metal. Mithril items reduce the weight of their metal component by half. Weapons made from mithril are also considered to be silver for purposes of overcoming damage immunity. Mithril armors have their encumbrance reduced by one category. Standard mithril items, such as longswords, have an equivalent value of one +0 magic item. Medium mithril armor has an equivalent value of one +1 magic item and heavy mithril armor has an equivalent value of one +2 magic item.

Silver (+0, Consumable)

Silver is famous for its ability to prevent regeneration in creatures such as lycanthropes. A creature whose regeneration is vulnerable to silver weapons, such as a lycanthrope, cannot regenerate after being damaged by a silver weapon until after the end of its next turn. Silver is softer than steel and does not retain a good edge for very long, however, so it is usually not effective as a regular weapon. Unlike other exotic materials, silver is valued as the equivalent of a +0 consumable.

Wondrous Items

Wondrous items cover a wide assortment of magic items, specifically anything outside of the Alchemical, Ammunition, Clothing, Implements, Instrument, and Poultices categories in the goods and services table of the PHB (Chapter VI: Equipment). Wondrous items usually enhance what a standard good or service does. Most are single-use consumables, but some can be used multiple or unlimited times.
Example wondrous items are listed below.

Pick of Destiny (+5, Consumable)

This small craft tool for plucking a musical instrument allows the user to play the greatest and best song in the world, as if they rolled two 20s on a skilled Perform attempt. After doing so, the pick disintegrates.

Rapscallion's Hook (+1, Consumable)

This small craft hook is enchanted to pick a pocket. When touched to a pocket or pouch and the command word whispered, the hook vanishes, and the pocket or pouch appears in the user's hand.

Tobin’s Jug (+2)

This simple foodstuffs jug is labeled with XXX on one side. The jug is capable of producing any type of alcohol once per day. The quality of this alcohol varies. Before opening the jug, the user decides what kind of spirits they desire and then makes a luck roll. The luck roll determines the quality of that spirit.

--If the jug has only been used by the same creature for seven days, it gains the ability to pour seven different types of alcohol each day, though only for that creature. The amount of alcohol produced depends on the alcohol type but is enough to be enjoyed by the pourer and his immediate companions, up to eight in total - a bottle of wine, a pony keg of ale, a few drams of whiskey, etc.--

Extension Ladder (+0, +1, +2, +3, Consumable)

This small gear ladder looks like a step ladder made of three rungs. When it is placed against a wall or similar vertical surface and the command word is spoken, it grows to reach the top of the vertical surface or up to 100’ in height. It provides a perfectly stable climbing surface for one climb (+0), one minute (+1), one hour (+2), or one day (+3) before disintegrating away.

Sending Ink (+0, Consumable)

The ink in this magical gear vial appears normal when looked directly at but seems to ripple and move from the corner of the eye. When the ink is used to write a single-page letter to a specific recipient, after completion of the note the ink and writing disappears. The writing then appears before the recipient on the first flat, opaque surface they look at. After the recipient reads the message, it disappears.

Everburning Candle (+0)

This magical illumination gear appears as a normal candle. However, it lights and extinguishes when the command word is spoken and never burns out.

Portable Inn (+2, +3, +4, Consumable)

This lodging gear usually comes in the form of a skeleton key and, when inserted into a large tree, cave wall, or doorless wall, disappears and creates an inn. This inn doesn't displace existing matter but is visible from the outside, either by means of a front door, the remolding of an empty cave, or as a tree house. The inn provides a good night's rest to all those who sleep in its beds, as well as dinner for the night. The inn sleeps 6 and provides a poor meal (+2), 12 and a common meal (+3), or 24 and a good meal (+4). After 12 hours or when all inhabitants leave, the inn disappears.

Spider Saddle (+2)

This magical mount gear prevents the rider from ever being dismounted, even if their mount walks upside down. As an action while speaking the command word, the rider can attach to or detach from this saddle.

All Hallows Symbol (+0)

This magical religious gear appears to the viewer to be a holy symbol of the deity or cause they hold in highest regard. This is only an illusion, and physical contact reveals that it is a simple rock, twig, piece of toast, or the like.

Peace Maker (+1, Consumable)

This magical service gear comes in the form of a sticky symbol. The bearer can place this symbol on a non-magical weapon as an action, or by succeeding on a grapple attempt if the target weapon is being wielded by a creature not wishing to have its weapon transmuted. Once placed on a weapon, the symbol vanishes and the weapon's damaging end turns into a flower, paper drawing, or something similarly harmless.

Paper Boat (+0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, Consumable)

This magical transport comes in the form of a paper. By folding the paper over the course of a minute, or as a full-round action with a successful Intelligence (Engineering) check, and placing it into a harmless liquid, it turns into a boat. When the command word is spoken, the boat then transports its cargo in a straight line at a speed of 60' per round. This boat can carry the equivalent of one medium creature for 1 round (+0), four medium creatures for 1 minute (+1), ten medium creatures for 1 hour (+2), twenty medium creatures for 1 day (+3), forty medium creatures for 1 week (+4), or 100 medium creatures for 1 month (+5). At the end of its use, the boat dissolves into pulp.

Creating Wondrous Items

Wondrous items fill a niche between potions and magic equipment which allow any hero access to magic that works in the physical world. There are two guidelines to keep in mind when creating a wondrous item.
1. Solve a problem.
2. Keep things fun.
Wondrous items work great to solve a problem that heroes don't want to deal with. For example, if no hero has the Climb skill and the players groan at the prospect of scaling a castle wall, an unlimited-use extension ladder solves a problem for them. However, if a hero has the Climb skill or the party enjoys climbing challenges, an unlimited use extension ladder would remove the fun from that part of the game. By the same token, if the players don't enjoy tracking rations or figuring out what their heroes will eat, an iron pot that churns out calamari whenever placed over a fire would solve a problem and make camping fun.
When determining the item level of a wondrous item, consider the reusability, scope, and potency.

For reusability, determine how many times an item can be used. Single-use items are valued at 1/20 of an unlimited-use item. If an item can be used multiple times, set its value somewhere on that scale.
For scope, determine how many heroes the wondrous item solves a problem for, or how many objects or creatures it affects. Some items may accomplish their task over time as well, allowing multiple uses through a longer duration:
• One creature/one round: +0
• A standard party (2-4)/one minute: +1
• A large party (5-10)/one hour: +2
• A small crowd (11-20)/one day: +3
• A large crowd (21-99)/one week: +4
• Unlimited (100+)/one month: +5

For potency, determine how expert of an effect the wondrous item produces:
• Trivial (a common person might accomplish it): +0
• Skilled (a skilled person might accomplish it): +1
• Expert (only an expert could accomplish it): +2
• Extreme Fortune (only an expert with great luck could accomplish it): +3
• Once In a Lifetime (its effect might only occur once in a lifetime): +4
• Incomparable (the greatest outcome ever): +5
For example, an everburning candle's effect is trivial while a spider saddle provides a benefit only an expert could hope to accomplish.

Spell-Based Wondrous Items

Alternatively, a wondrous item can be created from a spell. The spell level then determines the item level while the reusability determines the value. A skeleton key could have the same effect as knock while a piece of gum could produce a hold portal effect and both would be +1 goods. On the other hand, a grappling hook that teleports the thrower to its location would be the equivalent of dimension door.

Cursed Items

A great way to add intrigue and humor to a story is with a cursed item. A cursed item is a magical item that provides a severely restricted benefit or harms its user or their allies. Cursed items can help lower the amount of magic in a campaign or challenge the heroes and their desires.
Cursed items are a good way to reward heroes with a more powerful item but without breaking the balance of the game. Some example cursed items are:

Backbiter (+3)

This +3 enchanted spear deals 1d8 + 3 damage. However, its limited successes grant their hampering effect to the wielder's foe and its misses deal its damage to an adjacent ally, or the wielder if no ally is adjacent. This weapon can be discarded or destroyed, but reappears in the wielder's hand the instant before they make a melee or thrown weapon attack. It can only be permanently removed when targeted by a remove curse spell.

Boots of Straight Speed (+1)

The wearer of these boots increases their speed by 5'. However, while wearing them, they can only take move actions in a straight line.

Potion of Radiant Healing (+3, Consumable)

The imbiber of this potion regains 3d8 + 3 hit points and glows for the next one minute, granting advantage to any creature that attacks it.

Ring of Glimpsing Invisibilty (+2)

As an action once per day, the wearer of this ring gains the ability to see anything which is invisible, ethereal, or astral for one round.

Ring of Seeing Invisibility (+2)

As an action, the wearer of this ring can gain or turn off invisible sight for up to 30 minutes per day. Invisible sight grants the ability to see anything invisible, ethereal, or astral. However, while the effect is active, invisible, ethereal, and astral things are all the wearer can see.

Snubnosed Wand of Missiles (+5)

As an action, the wielder of this wand can call forth missiles, up to a total of 10 per day. Each missile deals 1d4 + 1 force damage. The wielder can target creatures they can see within 5'.

Staff of Abyssal Tentacles (+3)

As an action once per day, the wielder of this staff can cast black tentacles with a duration of 1 minute and no concentration requirement. However, this spell is always cast with the wielder at its center.

Creating Cursed Items

To create a cursed item, consider limited usage and nefariousness.

A cursed item with limited usage might restrict:
• Range (i.e., a significantly reduced range or minimum range).
• Targeting (i.e., only creatures whose names start with the letter X or all creatures in range wearing metal armor).
• Duration (i.e., 1 round only or only during sunrise).

For nefariousness, a cursed item might punish its user or produce a downside to its effect including:
• Removability (i.e., the item cannot be removed from the user or always appears in the user's hand).
• Sacrifice (i.e., the item grants its benefit but restricts everything outside its benefit or requires a price to activate its effect).
• Malice (i.e., the item attacks the user or their allies or makes the user vulnerable to something).
