Wondrous Item

Legendary Rite of the Shattered Mind

Aura of Revelry

While wearing the masque, the wearer radiates an intoxicating magical presence.   Creatures within 30 feet have disadvantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.   The wearer gains advantage on Charisma (Performance), Charisma (Deception), and Charisma (Persuasion) checks made during social gatherings, celebrations, or festivals.  

Hallucinatory Waltz

As an action, the wearer may unleash Khione’s chaotic visions upon nearby creatures.   All creatures of the wearer’s choice within 20 feet must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw.   On a failed save:  

• The creature becomes affected by confusion for 1 minute

 

• The creature also takes 3d10 psychic damage

  On a successful save:  

• The creature takes half damage and is not confused.

 

• This ability may be used once per short or long rest.

 

Prophetic Ecstasy

Once per long rest, the wearer may enter a trance of ecstatic visions for 1 minute.   During this trance:  

• The wearer gains advantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.

 

• At the end of the trance, the wearer learns one piece of symbolic prophetic information determined by the DM.

  However, when the trance ends, the wearer must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or suffer short-term madness.  

Enhanced Properties (Post-Attunement)

The Dance of a Thousand Stars

While wearing the masque, the wearer can cast the following spells without material components:  

• Hypnotic Pattern (once per long rest)

 

• Major Image (twice per long rest)

 

• Confusion (once per long rest)

  The save DC for these spells is 18.  

Festival of the Mind

If the wearer spends at least 1 hour participating in a celebration, party, ritual gathering, or intoxicated revel, they regain 1 expended use of Hallucinatory Waltz.   During this time, strange lights, phantom music, and illusory dancers may appear around them.  

Special Power

The Endless Revel

Once per week, the wearer may invoke Khione’s divine festival.   As an action, the wearer releases a surge of chaotic psychic energy in a 40-foot radius centered on themselves.   All creatures within the area must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw.   On a failed save:  

• Creatures take 10d10 psychic damage

 

• Creatures become affected by confusion for 1 minute

 

• Creatures experience overwhelming hallucinations

  On a successful save:  

• Creatures take half damage and are not confused.

  For the duration of this effect, the battlefield fills with illusory lights, phantom music, and dancing shadows.   Recoil: After using this power, the wearer must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or suffer indefinite madness for 24 hours.  

Curses

The Mask That Never Sleeps

The masque slowly erodes the wearer’s grip on reality.   Each dawn, the wearer must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw.   On a failure, the wearer suffers vivid hallucinations for the next 8 hours, causing disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence checks.  

Reveler’s Descent

Every time the wearer activates Prophetic Ecstasy or The Endless Revel, they must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw.   On a failure, the wearer gains one level of Reveler’s Madness.   Reveler’s Madness Effects  

• 1st Level — The wearer becomes overly euphoric and impulsive.

• 2nd Level — The wearer struggles to distinguish illusion from reality.

• 3rd Level — The wearer compulsively seeks celebration, intoxication, or chaos.

• 4th Level — The wearer loses their sense of self, becoming a wandering celebrant consumed by visions.

  Only greater restoration or wish can remove this condition.

The Masque of the Endless Revel is a porcelain masquerade mask painted in vibrant, shifting colors that never remain the same for long. Its surface constantly refracts light like broken glass, and when worn, faint echoes of distant laughter, music, and whispered secrets seem to drift through the air around the wearer.

The mask was created by Khione during one of her divine festivals—an eternal celebration where prophecy, madness, and intoxication blur into a single ecstatic experience. Those who wear the masque become the living center of chaos and revelry, inspiring uncontrollable joy, hysteria, and visions among those nearby.

Yet the mask carries a dangerous truth: the longer one wears it, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish celebration from insanity. Wearers often lose themselves within the endless revel, becoming prophets, lunatics, or both.
