Sanctified Potions


Aura moderate conjuration (healing); CL 7th (varies by potion)
Slot —; Price see below; Weight —

These softly effervescent green draughts release a faint aroma reminiscent of fresh bread and sacred incense. Tiny bubbles rise continuously within the liquid, forming and dissolving in gentle, rhythmic patterns. When consumed, a sanctified potion restores expended divine spellcasting capacity.

Sanctified potions function only for divine spellcasters (such as clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers). Arcane casters gain no benefit.

New Rule: Restoring Spell Levels

Sanctified potions restore a number of spell levels, not specific spells.

  • The caster regains expended spell slots whose total levels equal the potion’s value.
  • The caster chooses how these levels are distributed among their available spell slots.
  • No spell slot may be restored beyond the caster’s normal daily maximum.
  • A caster cannot restore spell slots of a level they are not capable of casting.
  • Using a sanctified potion is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Example: A cleric who drinks a Sanctified Potion, Standard (5 levels) could restore one 5th-level spell slot, a 3rd-level and a 2nd-level slot, or any combination totaling five levels.

Construction

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be able to cast divine spells
Special Requirement powdered jade worth 25 gp per spell level restored; the potion must be blessed during creation by a divine caster of the same tradition (cleric, druid, etc.)

Cost to Create 1/2 market price + XP cost
XP Cost 1/25 of market price

Time 1 day per 1,000 gp of the base price (minimum 1 day)

Although similar to standard potions, sanctified potions do not replicate a specific spell effect. Instead, they channel raw divine favor, and are therefore treated as wondrous items rather than items created via Brew Potion.

Lore

The origins of sanctified potions are deeply entwined with the rituals of early temple orders, where priests sought a means to sustain their divine duties during prolonged crises. Unlike arcane innovations, which are often born from experimentation, sanctified potions are said to have emerged from prayer, revelation, and sacred tradition. Many faiths claim their deity granted the first formula as a blessing during a time of great need.

The use of powdered jade is believed to symbolize spiritual purity and the endurance of the soul. When properly consecrated, the substance acts as a vessel for divine grace, allowing it to be held briefly in mortal form. The bubbling nature of the potion is often interpreted as a sign of life, renewal, and the ever-present breath of the divine.

Not all religious orders accept sanctified potions without hesitation. Some see them as a gift - a way to extend the reach of healing and miracles. Others regard them with caution, arguing that divine power is not meant to be stored or rationed like a mundane resource. In stricter traditions, their use is reserved for holy warriors or times of dire emergency, lest reliance upon them weaken true faith.

Spoon of Chastisement

Spoon of Chastisement Aura faint enchantment; CL 3rd Slot —; Price 1,200 gp; Weight 1 lb Description This unassuming wooden spoon appears worn and well-used, its surface smoothed by time and countless “lessons learned.” It is often found in the possession of stern caretakers, patient matriarchs, and those who believe that discipline is best taught with equal parts love and force of will. Despite its humble appearance, the Spoon of Chastisement functions as a +1 sap (see Dungeon Master’s Guide ). It deals 1d4 points of nonlethal bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. However, the true magic of the spoon reveals itself when it strikes true. On a successful hit, the target must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 14) or be affected as though by a command spell, issued by the wielder. The command must be a single word and must be something that the target can reasonably understand and perform in a single round. Creatures that successfully save are shaken for 1 round from the su...

Mystwalker

Mystwalker (Note: Format follows  Tome Of Artifacts. Eldritch Relics And Wonders) Focus or Theme: Transportation and Travel Origin: Crafted by beings or gods who existed before the creation of the current multiverse Benefits: Immune to Fear and Fear-Like Effects Spell-Like Abilities: No Spell-Like Abilities Major Powers: Travel Downsides: Bonded Artifact, Misfortune The Tale of Mystwalker The Dark Powers that control the Demiplane of Fear, while usually capricious and seemingly evil beyond measure, also seem to possess a darkly humorous side. This cruel whimsy usually comes in the form of a dramatically ironic death, and the failures of the Dread Lords to achieve their goals would most definitely be seen as amusing to the Dark Powers as well. This isn’t always the case, however. When exactly the ring Mystwalker was originally created is unknown. There are records of the ring dating back some two-hundred fifty years or so, starting around year 500 on the Barovian ...

Coin of Wealth

Coin of Wealth Aura faint conjuration; CL 5th Slot —; Weight — Description A Coin of Wealth appears as a single, perfectly ordinary coin of its designated type - copper, silver, gold, or platinum - though it is always pristine and untarnished. When placed within a pouch and left undisturbed for at least 8 hours (typically overnight), the coin conjures additional mundane currency of the same type. Each morning, the pouch contains an additional 1d6 coins of the same denomination as the Coin of Wealth . These coins are nonmagical, indistinguishable from standard currency, and are considered legitimate tender in most civilized regions. The coin only functions if kept inside a pouch, sack, or similar soft container . It does not function if stored in rigid containers such as chests, boxes, or vaults, nor if left exposed. Additionally, the coin ceases to function if other items remain in the pouch when the conjuration occurs; the pouch must contain only the Coin of Wealth at the...
