Starshot Circlet
🕑 Added 2025-08-22 15:29:12 +0000 UTCWondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This circlet is set with a crystalline meteor shard found at an ancient crater. The surface of the shard sparkles with otherworldly radiance. While wearing the circlet, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks, and you can't be surprised while you can see the night sky. Furthermore, if you can see stars in the sky, you also know which way is north.
The circlet has 5 charges and regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn, or all expended charges if you were outside for at least 4 hours after dusk and could see the stars. While wearing the circlet, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges to cast the guiding bolt spell from it, using your spell attack bonus. The spell looks like a shooting star. In addition, whenever you hit a target with a spell attack, you can expend 1 or more of the circlet's charges to deal 1d8 radiant damage to the target for each charge spent.
Twinkle, twinkle, star so bright,
Guide my hand with heaven's light.

The target will be seeing stars in more ways than one lol

Maybe you could use Melf's Minute Meteors (as the spell) as an additional option or just as a variant on the item? Nothing is stopping you from customizing it for the specific needs at your table, just saying.

I think it's wonderful & I'm going to ask my DM to hide it in the game for us to find.

I really like it I only wish that there'd been different or maybe a couple of spells attached. Sacred Flame & Light with the circlet as the focus Guiding Bolt & (Radiant) Magic Missile
