Elysian Echo Amulet
Wondrous Item (Amulet), rare (requires attunement)
This delicate amulet is crafted from a pale ethereal crystal that seems to hum with a gentle resonance, its surface engraved with swirling patterns reminiscent of clouds drifting through a bright sky. When worn, the amulet allows the bearer to channel the power of sound and resonance, manipulating echoes of their surroundings.
While attuned to this amulet, the wearer gains the following benefits:
-
Echoing Shield: As a reaction, when the wearer takes damage from an attack, they can choose to absorb that damage into the amulet, gaining temporary hit points equal to the damage taken (up to a maximum of 10 hit points). This ability can be used a number of times equal to the wearer's proficiency bonus per long rest.
-
Whisper of Winds: Once per long rest, the wearer can cast Message or Sending without expending a spell slot. This ability allows the wearer to connect with others across great distances, and the whispers can be imbued with a sense of urgency, allowing the recipient to respond immediately as if they were present.
-
Resonant Harmony: The amulet enhances the wearer's connection to sound and music. The wearer gains proficiency in Performance and can add double their proficiency bonus to any Performance checks made while utilizing singing, instruments, or spoken word.
-
Echoing Strike: As an action, the wearer can unleash a resonant pulse in a 30-foot cone that forces creatures within the area to make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier) or take 3d6 thunder damage and be pushed back 10 feet. On a successful save, they take half damage and are not pushed. This ability can be used once per short rest.
The amulet is said to have been forged from the remnants of an ancient celestial's voice, and as such, it carries within it a fragment of the melodic harmony of the cosmos. In the hands of a worthy bearer, it has the potential to provide both protection and insight, while resonating deeply with the essence of sound itself.
