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?

  1. Blooming blade
  2. Ring of the eladrin lord
  3. Boutonniere of boons and banes
  4. Marvelous egg

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!Boutonniere of boons and blessings art

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.
