Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a wild magic sorcerer)
This ancient and mystical deck of 50 tarot cards is imbued with the chaotic essence of wild magic. When attuned, a Sorcerer can draw a card from the deck, unleashing the unpredictable powers contained within. Each card corresponds to a different effect from the Wild Magic Surge table, providing both opportunities and risks for those who dare to draw.
The Gamble. As an action, you can use this deck to make a ranged spell attack by throwing a spectral card and using Charisma for the attack roll. The card has a range of 120 feet and deals 1d8 force damage on a hit.
Mechanics:
-
Card Draw: After you cast a spell, roll a d100 to determine which card you draw from the Tarot Deck of Wild Magic. The card drawn triggers the corresponding Wild Magic effect, as outlined in the table below.
-
Optional Rule: As an alternative, you may choose to draw a card at the start of each day, pre-determining the Wild Magic effect that will trigger the next time you roll for a Wild Magic Surge.
