Nevermore's Vigil
🕑 Added 2025-06-12 15:00:13 +0000 UTCRod, rare (requires attunement by a warlock)
This walking cane is topped with a decorative raven's skull, both of which shimmer with a dark iridescence. While holding the cane, your spell save DC and spell attack bonus each increase by 1. While attuned to the cane, you have resistance to psychic damage and can't be communicated with telepathically against your will.
You can use the cane's following properties while holding it.
Mimicry. You can use an action to recreate a simple sound of your choice from the cane; its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. A successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC reveals that the sound is illusory.
Spells. You can use an action to cast either of the following cantrips from the cane: mage hand (the hand appears as a spectral raven) or message (a spectral raven delivers your message to the target). In addition, you can use an action to cast the phantasmal force or phantasmal killer spell from the cane, using your spell save DC. Once the cane has been used to cast one of these spells, it can't be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. You can also cast either spell using a warlock spell slot, provided the spell slot is of a high enough level to cast the spell. Whenever you cast these spells while attuned to the cane, the illusion always features a raven.
Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.

Another excellent item. I do have one small comment: most checks to detect a mimicry (i.e. that of a kenku's mimicry in 5e) involve a Wisdom (Insight) check, as the check is closer to trying to discern a lie or somebody's motivation than a physical search, which is the situation an Intelligence (Investigation) would be neccessary.

I love this, I am a fan of Edgar Allen Poe and I need this for my next Warlock character

You see a 9 foot tall raven standing in front of you. Quoth the raven: "nevermore" you take 1d6 psychic damage.
