 As ritual: detect magic, find familiar

Staff of Defense. This staff has 10 charges, which are used to fuel the spells within it. Ariadne can use her action to cast one of the following spells from the staff: mage armor (1 charge) or shield (2 charges). No components are required.

The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges each day at dawn. If you expend the staff's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff shatters and is destroyed.

Wand of Magic Missiles. This wand has 7 charges. Ariadne can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the magic missile spell from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 1st-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend.

The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.

War Caster's Concentration. Ariadne has advantage on maintaining concentration on a spell when she takes damage.
