A cunning historian may be able to track the cane’s origins to a certain mage under a certain authoritarian regime centuries ago, who supplied it to a figure widely known for their role in the regime’s downfall. Similarly, the cane seems to be drawn to those who march to their own drumbeat, directing them on behalf of its creator to sow disruption and turmoil.\n\n**Legends and Lore** Success on an Arcana or History check reveals the following:\n\n**DC 15** This is the _Cane of Chaos_, used by a despot in times long past. It is also known as the Little Silver Stick.\n\n**DC 18** The cane stores and is able to cast spells linked to chaos, but randomly unleashes chaotic magical effects when used.\n\n**DC 21** The cane can only be destroyed by a sovereign on the day of their coronation.\n\n**Artifact Properties**\n\nThe _Cane of Chaos_ has 1d4 lesser artifact benefits, 1d4 lesser artifact detriments, 1d4–1 greater artifact benefits, and 1d4+1 greater artifact detriments. \n\nIn addition, the cane has the finesse property and can be used as a double weapon which you become proficient with when you attune to it. You gain a +2 bonus to weapon attack rolls and damage rolls made using the _Cane of Chaos_.\n\n## **Magic**\n\nWhile you use this quarterstaff as a spell focus, you gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls and your spell save DC. You know and have prepared all spells of the chaos school of magic (but not their rare versions). \n\nThe _Cane of Chaos_ begins with a number of charges equal to your proficiency bonus and regains 1d6 charges each dawn (to a maximum number of charges equal to your level + 1, or your CR + 1). You can expend any number of charges from the cane to cast a chaos spell, which costs a number of charges equal to the spell’s level. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is your highest mental ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma).\n\nWhen you expend charges from the _Cane of Chaos_, it unleashes another chaotic magical effect, either chosen by the Narrator or randomly determined.\n\n__**Table: Cane of Chaos**__\n| **d8** | **Wild Magic Effect** |\n| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| 1 | One random creature you see is subject to a _polymorph_ spell cast by the cane (using your spell save DC), turning it into a random CR 1/8 beast. |\n| 2 | The 1d6 doors nearest to you come under an _arcane lock_ effect as though cast by the creature nearest to you that can speak, write, or sign at least one language. |\n| 3 | The cane creates a __control weather_ effect, driving the weather towards unseasonable extreme temperatures and conditions. |\n| 4 | Each creature within 60 feet rolls 1d6, increasing a random ability score to 18 for the next 10 minutes (1: Strength, 2: Dexterity, 3: Constitution, 4: Intelligence, 5: Wisdom, 6: Charisma). |\n| 5 | Each creature within 60 feet is subject to a __levitation_ effect created by the cane (using your spell save DC). Each creature has _disadvantage_ on _saving throws_ against the effect and on a failure immediately rises 60 feet. For the duration, each creature can control its own movement as though it had cast _levitate_ on itself. |\n| 6 | You grow 1d6 inches taller (this effect cannot increase your size category). |\n| 7 | If you are a humanoid you are permanently transformed into a different humanoid heritage (as per Table: Reincarnation for the _reincarnate_ spell). |\n| 8 | Duplicates of yourself appear within 60 feet! Roll 1d6 to determine their nature (1–2: 1d6 _animated armors_ , 3–4: a _mirror image_ effect, 5–6: a __simulacrum_ effect). |\n\n## Destroying the Cane\n\nThe _Cane of Chaos_ is born from the very essence of rebellion. To destroy it, you must offer the artifact as a gift to a sovereign on the day of their coronation or to a magical being with the Lawful alignment trait on the anniversary of their advent. If accepted as such a gift, the _Cane of Chaos_ melts into a puddle of ordinary molten silver.", "rarity": "Artifact", "requires_attunement": "requires attunement", "document__slug": "a5e", "document__title": "Level Up Advanced 5e", "document__url": "https://a5esrd.com/a5esrd" }, { "slug": "laevateinn-a5e", "name": "Lævateinn", "type": "Staff", "desc": "Lævateinn was forged in the underworld by Loki (who of the Æsir is the one most associated with dwarves) near the doors of death itself, spoken of in the very late Eddic poem Fjölvinsmál. Some historians believe its translation ends with ‘wounding wand’ while others claim it is ‘wounding twig’, similar to the word for magic staff (gambantein). Either way it is this weapon and this weapon only that can kill the golden rooster Víðópnir (which sits in the branches of Yggdrasil and may be tied to Ragnarök, or possibly be another name for Gullinkambi) so that its wing joints (the only things that will suffice) can be used to distract the dogs guarding the flame-encircled castle holding Menglöð, a maiden fated to be married to the hero Svipdagr. The runed weapon awaits within however, protected by the jötunn Sinmara (a _storm giant_ ) who will only exchange it for a tail feather from the golden rooster—that can only be harmed by the very same sword, creating a paradoxical task. Its forger and the owner of the chest that contains it can reveal the secrets to bypassing the 9 locks holding its prison closed, although Loki would only ever do so if a cunning price is attached...\n\nLÆVATEINN\n\nUntil you are attuned to this staff, it appears to be a rotting quarterstaff or battered longsword. After you have attuned to it however, runes glow along the length of the wood or the blade.\n\nThis staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While wielding it, you can use a bonus action to transform it into a magic longsword or back.\n\nThe staff has 10 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d8+4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20\\. On a 1, the staff loses its properties and becomes a nonmagical weapon (whichever form it is in when the last charge is expended).\n\nWhile it is in staff form, the runes grant access to magic.\n\n_**Spell Runes.**_ You can use an action to expend 1 or more of the staff’s charges to activate a rune and cast one of the following spells from it (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks): __hideous laughter_ (1 charge), _speak with animals_ (1 charge), _pass without trace_ (2 charges), _dispel magic_ (3 charges), _speak with plants_ (3 charges), __confusion_ (4 charges), __glibness_ (8 charges). You can also use an action to cast the __charm person , disguise self ,_ or __vicious mockery_ spells from the staff without using any charges.\n\nWhile it is in longsword form, the runes channel magic with less finesse and unleash lethal energies.\n\n_**Death Rune.**_ You can use a bonus action and 1 charge to activate this rune, causing shadows to flow out from the weapon for 1 minute. These shadows reduce _dim light_ in a 40-foot radius to _darkness_ , and bright light in a 20-foot radius to dim light. While the weapon is shadowed, it deals an extra 2d6 necrotic damage to any target it hits. The shadows last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again, the duration expires, or until you drop the weapon.\n\n_**Flame Rune.**_ You can use a bonus action and 1 charge to activate this rune, causing flames to erupt from the weapon for 1 minute. These flames shed _bright light_ in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. While the weapon is ablaze, it deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits.
