Lyre of Building

Magic Items Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

While holding this lyre, you can cast mending as an action. You can also play the lyre as a reaction when an object or a structure you can see within 300 feet of you takes damage, causing it to be

immune to that damage and any further damage of the same type until the start of your next turn. In addition, you can play the lyre as an action to cast fabricate, move earth, passwall, or summon construct (appears in this book), and that spell can’t be cast from it again until the next dawn.
