Ascendant Red Dragon's Staff

A beautiful staff made of mahogany wood, inlaid with gold channels that run all the way up the length of the staff to the head piece of the staff: a dragon's head spewing fire made of a beautifully and ornate cut of polished ruby. One of Orthun's earliest additions to his treasury, back during his days as an adolescent, the staff has followed him from location to location, always being the center piece of his hoard.

Slumbering (Uncommon). You have advantage on initiative rolls. While you are holding the focus, it can function as a spellcasting focus for all your spells.

Stirring (Rare). The Stirring focus has the Slumbering property, and it gains an additional property determined by the family of the dragon in whose hoard it became Stirring:

• Chromatic. Whenever you use a spell slot to cast a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage, roll a d6, and you gain a bonus equal to the number rolled to one of the spell’s damage rolls.

Wakened (Very Rare). The Wakened focus has the Slumbering and Stirring properties, and while you are holding a Wakened focus, you can use it to cast the following spells: Hold Monster and Aganazzar's Scorcher. Once the item is used to cast a given spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. 

• Chromatic. Hold monster, Aganazzar's Scorcher*

Ascendant (Legendary). The Ascendant focus has the Slumbering, Stirring, and Wakened properties. In addition, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher while holding this focus, you can treat the spell as if it were cast using a 9th-level spell slot. Once this property is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Notes: Advantage: Initiative, spellcaster
