==== Mask of Apathy ====
(Requires attunement)

==== The Thief's Lucky Coin: ====
"A coin minted from the kingdom of Dolmin. It is incredibly devoid of any dirt, showing clear signs of importance to its previous owner."
If the coin is polished for 10 minutes, the coin's power activates. Instead of an attack roll, the user may spend their action to flip the coin into the air. On heads, the attack roll is a hit. On tails, the attack misses. The coin may be used once per 24 hours, its power vanishing until it is polished again 24 hours after use.
--
==== Staff of Growth: ====
"A staff made from a grey-colored wood. Four spirals of green, leafy tendrils curl around the staff up to the top, which ends in a blood-red gem shaped into the form of a rose. Placing your ear next to the staff and focusing reveals the staff gives off the sound of a light breeze moving through a forested area."
When the staff is activated, an empty space within 15ft of the user (of their choice) grows a common flowering plant the user wishes. After 7 days, the bush wilts and dies.
If the user activates the spell on the same plant they already created for 7 days in a row, the plant does not wilt away and lives its regular lifespan.

Only 12 skeletons can be dancing and summoned at a time. The skeletons are completely non-hostile and do not heed any commands other than to dance.
After 1 hour, the magic song of the trumpet vanishes and the skeletons collapse.

--
==== Whistle of the Best Friend: ====
"A small, silver whistle. It appears to have an engraving drawn by a child of, what you think is, a dog. Blowing into the whistle makes no sound, strangely."

The mastiff is friendly to anyone the user is friendly to and attacks anyone the user commands it to. The mastiff has its own initiative, which is rolled immediately after being summoned.

After the parasitic heart eats its way into the user's chest and consumes the old heart, the user gains Poison resistance and advantage on checks against poison and disease. If Identify is cast upon the heart, it says it is magical, but does not reveal any more information. 
The user also gains advantage on death saves.
Should the user die while the heart is still in their chest, and the body is not destroyed, the parasitic heart will assume control of the corpse 10 minutes after death as an aberration called a "Parasitic Host."

If the user dies from poison damage, or otherwise dies in such a way that the parasitic heart is also destroyed, the parasitic heart dies alongside the user.

=== Legendary ===
==== Prick: ====
Weapon (Dagger) (Requires Attunement)
Prick was forged by an archmage of unknown name to be used by the Kingpin of the Disciples of the Coin, an Oni named Gripe. For many years, Gripe used Prick as his go to weapon and the duo were unstoppable, giving Tivoli the worst crime rate in history. However, Gripe was eventually killed in an ambush by the Tivoli guards in the sewers and Prick to be without a master in the dark.
You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. As an action when you speak the command word, you can cast the Mage Hand cantrip.
Shadowstep. As a bonus action, the user may teleport to an unoccupied space behind an enemy within 60ft and gain advantage on the next attack against the enemy.
Eye of the Beholder. Prick can appraise any gemstone or art object with perfect accuracy brought within 5ft of it. 
Sentience. Prick is a sentient, Lawful Evil weapon with an Intelligence of 12, a Wisdom of 16, and a Charisma of 8. It can see and hear out to 120 feet and has darkvision. Prick can speak, read, and understand Common, Goblin, and Orcish. It communicates by speaking telepathically to the attuned user, no matter the distance, as long they exist on the same plane at the same time and understands any language its attuned user does. Its voice is of a cruel young adult human.
Personality. Prick seeks to make as much money as possible, which mostly includes seedier ways, such as burglary, theft, and hits, he also enjoys jobs that also include hearing valuable information; the worse it would be if it was public, the better.
Prick opposes harming beggars and other poorfolk, who are usually the best, and cheapest, informants, due to the code of the Disciples of the Coin. If the wielder attempts to harm anyone in the Disciples of the Coin, or a beggar, a conflict occurs. Prick vehemently despises charity, seeing it as "useless" when there is no transaction being made. Prick prefers to rob rich individuals and will often make remarks about how the user should bulglarize the rich.
Prick is quite clever and prefers to make plans over charging into battle, especially since that was the reason why his first user died. When Gripe was killed, Prick fell into the Tivoli sewers and remained there for many years in the cold, disgusting dark. Because of this, Prick hates to be left without its user and even more so left completely alone, however, Prick will never admit this and give all kinds of excuses as to why he can't be left alone. Prick also refuses to be covered in refuse for too long and wants to be wiped perfectly clean after use. If he is not cleaned, a conflict occurs. 
Prick harbors a feeling that it is the reason why Gripe died. Prick believes that he could have stopped it had he just paid more attention to what was going on around them. Prick refuses to allow this to happen again. 
=== Artifact ===
==== Void Light ====
Weapon (Longsword) (Requires attunement):
"A gleaming Longsword made of pure Electrum. When held in your hands, it hums with magic energy. Various delicate engravings adorn the surface of the blade. The pommel is engraved with the symbols of the five Progenitor kingdoms, above is an engraving of the Solarium and below is an engraving of Eternal Void. The weapon seems completely unscathed, despite its age. Blood and grim that collides with the blade simply slides away from the weapon, leaving it completely clean."
 Void Light was created as a fail safe for the use of slaying creatures from the Eternal Void and the Solarium. Originally, the weapon was designed to be mass produced, but, sadly the Vez'Harrah kingdoms fell and the original blade was lost. A Morkoth named Hamgrannellin accidentally stumbled onto the weapon and brought it to its demiplane as a treasure, one of its prized possessions.
While attuned, the weapon acts as a magic +3 longsword. If the user is not attuned, it acts as a magic +1 longsword. When attuned and brandishing the longsword, the user can use a bonus action to speak one of the two command words of the magic sword, causing the weapon to either flow black mist or radiate bright light of the user's choice. 
Light Form. The radiant form of the blade radiates light in a 40ft radius and dim light for an additional 40ft. With the blade flowing with searing light, it deals 2d6 extra radiant damage to any target it hits. In addition, the radiant form has 3 charges, which regenerate at dawn, to cast the listed spells: Dawn, Freedom of Movement, Guardian of Faith, Lesser Restoration.
The spells are cast as a DC 18 and are cast at their lowest level.
Dark Form. In the flowing dark mist form, the blade may summon a being from the Eternal void on any space within 60ft as an action. The DM either chooses one of his choice or rolls a 1d100 from the summon table.
The summon acts under any order you give it. The summoned being retains all of its statistics, but becomes an aberration and gains immunity to necrotic damage. The creature remains alongside you for as long as it has more than 0 hp. If an enemy or ally is standing on the summon location, they take 1d10 necrotic damage from the void portal. This action may be done three times per day and only one creature may be summoned at a time. The charges return after the sword is held under moonlight for 1 hour.  
With the icy negative energy flowing from the blade, the weapon deals 2d6 necrotic damage on any target it hits.
Summon Table:
1-40: Cr 1/8 
41-70: Cr 1/4
71-85: Cr 1/2
86-95: Cr 1
95-100: Cr 2
Curse of the Blind. The attuned user's eyes turn into black glass, blinding them, if Void Light is further than 10 ft away from them. When the weapon is brought within 10 ft. again, their eyes return to normal.
Supernatural Senses. The attuned user gains Darkvision. This Darkvision allows you to see in full color instead of shades of grey. While attuned to the artifact, you cannot be charmed or frightened. 
While drawn, the sword's blade spews black smoke when a creature from, or a follower of, the Eternal Void is within 120 ft. The blade spews white smoke when a creature from, or a follower of, the Solarium is within 120 ft. 
Portal Blade. Creatures the Solarium of the Eternal Void that are struck by the blade must make a DC 10 CON save. On failure, they are forced back into their respective plane. If the creature is native to the plane, nothing happens.
Sentience: Void Light is sentient and can communicate to the attuned user via telepathy and the sword can read and understand Vez'Harrah and Common. Void Light has darkvision out to 120 ft. Void Light is actually two separate entities, both with their own personalities; Void and Light. Void is the darker half of the blade and speaks in a harsh, violent male voice. Void's alignment is Lawful Evil. Light is the lighter half the blade and speaks in a sing-song, pleasant female voice. Light's alignment is Lawful Good. Both Void and Light have an Intelligence of 18, Wisdom of 14, and Charisma of 16.
Personality: Despite their differences, Void and Light both have a platonic love relationship and they bicker constantly, similar to that of an old married couple. During a debate, the attuned user may be dragged into their bickering to pick a side as a 2-to-1 vote. If the wielder can dream, they enter a demiplane with Void and Light. Void is depicted as a male skeletal vez'harrah wearing a long black cloak and several missing chunks of bone in its skull, whereas Light is depicted as a beautiful, female vez'harrah with pale white skin and a long white cloak. The demiplane looks however Void and Light wish for it to look, but it normally appears as a white and black room separated at the center by a single table. Light sits on the white side, Void on the black side. Another chair sits in between both white and black.
If Void Light senses any creature from the Solarium or the Eternal Void, outside of the summoned creature from Dark Form, it will force the user to remove them from the material plane. If the user does not comply, Void Light attempts to take control of the wielder, the wielder must make a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to 15.
Void prefers to engage deep in combat and revels in slaughter. Void prefers to execute enemies rather than allow them to surrender. If an enemy is not killed by Void Light when surrendering, a conflict occurs.
Light prefers helping those in need without having to get bloody. If a creature is suffering, Light tells the user to do whatever it can to help it. If the wielder does not attempt to help the creature, a conflict occurs.
Curse. This curse affects any non vez'harrah attuned to it. Even if attunement ends, the curse remains. With each passing day, the user looks more and more like a vez'harrah as they grow a tail, scales below on the neck and below, and soft hair along the tail and back. The creature neither loses its original racial traits nor gains the traits of a vez'harrah. The changes caused by the sword are not magical, but it can be undone using the Remove Curse spell with a spell slot of at least 7th level.
Destroying the Sword. The only way to destroy the sword is to bathe the weapon in the magma of Nostrom's hidden forge in the Kiln, the destroyed Vez'Harrah capitol, for 10 years before it finally succumbs to the lava and is destroyed.
