The Trident of the Mad Seas, known as Abyssal Riptide, is a fearsome weapon forged from black coral and infused with fierce energy. Its three prongs are jagged and seem to crackle with dark, arcane power. The shaft is wrapped in sinewy tendrils that pulse with a malevolent glow, and the entire trident emanates an aura of chaotic energy. Dark, swirling patterns reminiscent of storm clouds and crashing waves adorn its surface, and a faint, echoing sound of distant thunder can be heard when it is wielded. This trident embodies the destructive power of the seas and the corrupting influence of the Betrayer's Son, whispering dark thoughts to its wielder and urging them toward domination and chaos.
You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
Fearsome Strike. When you hit a creature with the trident, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Call of the Abyss. As an action, you can summon a storm surge in a 30-foot radius around a point you can see within 120 feet. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 27 (6d8) bludgeoning damage and is pulled 20 feet closer to you. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn’t pulled. Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Miasmic Presence. While attuned to the trident, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
Innate Spellcasting. The trident has 5 charges. While holding the trident, you can cast the following spells, using the trident's charges (spell save DC 17), requiring no material components:
-
Blindness/Deafness (1 charge)
-
Shatter (1 charge)
-
Dominate Beast (3 charges)
-
Dominate Person (3 charges)
-

The trident regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.
