The days are getting brighter, birdsong is in the air, Aberrant Mind sorcerers are emerging from their cocoons—spring is here! What better way to celebrate than with some new magic items meant to evoke the renewal of nature? While we love the variety that existing magic items bring, homebrew magic items are a fantastic way to bring spring fever to your table!
Here are five homegrown magic items that are a breath of fresh air:
- Blooming blade
- Ring of the eladrin lord
- Boutonniere of boons and banes
- Marvelous egg
- Wheel of reincarnate
Adding to your homebrew collection
The homebrew magic items below have been shared with the community, which means you can add them to your Homebrew Collection. When you add published homebrew to your collection, it can be used on your character sheet just like official content! It will also be shared automatically with members of your campaigns, so that these other players can enjoy it as well.
If you have an active D&D Beyond subscription, you can add published homebrew to your collection at the click of a button. Simply follow the link to the item, scroll until you find the “Add to Collection” button, and that’s all it takes!
1. Blooming blade
Weapon (longsword), uncommon
You’ve heard about the sword in the stone, now prepare yourself for the blade in the glade! Oath of the Ancients paladins, fighters with a green thumb, and rangers alike will all go wild for this flower-adorned longsword.
The blooming blade is more than just a pretty sword, though. Roll a 20 on the die for your attack and an explosion of petals will charm your enemy! You can also spend all of your free time beautifying your surroundings with druidcraft.
2. Ring of the eladrin lord
Ring, uncommon (requires attunement)
The only constant is change, and any creature that attunes to the ring of the eladrin lord will certainly get a taste of the fickle fey nature that affects all eladrin. This ring’s season will change weekly—randomized by a roll of the d4—and imparts a minor personality quirk in addition to granting the daily use of a seasonal spell. The scene inside the ring will also change to reflect its seasonal temperament!
3. Boutonniere of boons and banes
Wondrous Item, legendary
This colorful bloom might appear to have partially dried up, but don’t let its half-wilted state fool you: This unique appearance is a result of an exceedingly rare magical combination. Having been simultaneously cursed by a hag and imbued with a genie’s power, this decorative flower carries immense magic potential.
Plucking a wilted petal from the boutonniere of boons and banes will grant you the ability to curse a nearby foe, while picking off one of the plump and colorful petals will convey upon you a blessing. You may even find yourself capable of casting wish!
4. Marvelous egg
Wondrous Item, rare
It sounds like something’s moving inside! It must be close to hatching… —Toggeh Prii
There’s simply no way that an egg of this size and colorful design could actually hatch, right? There's only one way to find out, and that is to keep it safe and warm. No walking required!
Provided this marvelous egg is cared for long enough, it will hatch into a pet that is sure to love you and your companions. No, we don’t know what sort of animal is inside. No, there are no refunds. Yes, it will absolutely 100% not be dangerous.*

5. Wheel of reincarnate
Wondrous Item, very rare
Recent death of a traveling companion got you feeling down? Step right up and spin the Wheel! Of! Reincarnate! Spring is a time of renewal, and with the wheel of reincarnate that comes in spades! Not only does it allow you to cast reincarnate—as long as you provide the material components, of course—but any creature brought back to life will smell fresh as the morning dew! That may be due to their new body’s vine-like hair, but it’s totally going to be a trend this season, we promise.
This hefty (but portable!) wheel can only reincarnate the same creature once per year, however.

First!
Hmm... interesting article and fun items, but I don't believe it says who made them. Were they all made by D&DBeyond staff?
Cool!
These items were created especially for this article! When we do highlight community homebrew creations (like in the Community Spotlight article linked at the end of this one), credit is given to the homebrew creators!
I had no clue this existed, and now my life is complete.
Cool, thanks!
"no walking required" ooh pokemon go reference
Wait, so the egg can sprout any animal, yes? Therefore, can I put a dragon wrymling inside said egg?
These have links to the pages, and unfortunately, the answer is no. It's a d12 to determine what animal hatches. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4709719-marvelous-egg
I would love to see more posts about homebrewed stuff, especially made by the community!
Interesting, but would have preferred community designs. Also, in my experience, items with effects that rarely happens doesn’t really work because you forget the effects when it finally triggers, like the first two items.
The name of the "commenter" is a reference to Togepi, an egg Pokemon from gen 2.
And walking is a standard method of hatching eggs in all Pokemon games.
Am I not seeing it? You have wonderful artwork for these items. However, the images do not actually appear in any of the items when you view their listing in the Homebrew section nor on character sheets. Can you amend the items to include the artwork?
The "quote" for the Marvelous Egg references the summary text of Eggs in pokémon games, too. The latter sentence is a direct quote.
Wow, love the Wheel of reincarnate. I feel like reincarnate is such an underused resurrection spell.
.
I wish you would do more community spotlight than these articles.
When homebrew items are published, all attached images are automatically suppressed as a safety measure. If you’re dying to see this beautiful artwork on your character sheet (which I absolutely understand, it’s gorgeous), feel free to recreate them as your own private homebrew, attaching the images to those versions!
YOU WERE ON DICE CAMERA ACTION!!! its sooo goooodddd
WHEEL! OF! REINCARNATE! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
What a joke.....
