Wand, legendary (requires attunement by a wizard or artificer)
This thin ebony wand is inscribed with indecipherable runes in an unknown language. All attempts to read the runes reveal only gibberish. A thin hairline fracture runs down the length of the wand, bisecting each rune in turn.
A creature that uses this wand as a spellcasting focus gains a +3 bonus to their spellcasting DC and spell attack rolls. Additionally, creatures that attune to this wand can use it to cast the spells listed below at 3rd level. Each spell can be cast only once, and use of all spells is restored at dawn. When a spell is cast in this way, its spell save DC is 15, and its spell attack modifier is +7.
Curse. When this item is found, roll 4d6 in secret and record the result. The wand has a number of charges equal to the result. Each time a creature casts a spell using this wand as a spell focus, including when they cast one of its listed spells, subtract the spell's level from the wand's remaining charges.
When the wand's last charge is depleted, an additional effect from the table below occurs. If the result is a spell, it is cast from the wand using its own spell save DC and modifier at the spell's base level, and targets the same creature or location as the spell that triggered it. If the spell has an area of effect, it is centered on the target. No concentration is required for spells cast this way. If no valid target for the effect exists, the caster becomes the target.
After resolving the effect, roll 4d6 and restore a number of charges to the wand equal to the result. If the result is 12 or less, the wand disintegrates instead.

| 7-11 | The wand casts false life on the caster. |
| 12-16 | A hat appears on the target's head for one minute, and cannot be removed. Any headgear the target was wearing disappears into a pocket dimension for the duration, and reappears on their head after one minute. Roll a d20 to determine the hat type. On a 1-5, it's a wide-brimmed straw hat. On a 6 - 10, it's a silk top hat. On an 11 - 13, it's a clown wig. On a 14 - 16, it's a sack with crude eye holes. On a 17 - 18, it's a steel mask bearing a face showing an emotion of the DM's choice. On a 19, it's a false dragon head that is indistinguishable from the real thing. On a 20, it is the visage of a medusa, which petrifies any creature that sees it as if it were a true medusa. If the target has no head, a wooden mannequin head wearing the chosen hat appears and floats 5ft. above the target for the duration. |

| 77-78 | An object that appears to be a legendary magical item of the DM's choice appears in the target's possession. The object is indistinguishable from a true magical item, and a casting of identify reveals it to be such.

| 93 | Roll on this table again, rerolling if the result is the same. After resolving the effect, the curse is lifted from the wand. It retains its other properties. |
