Gauntlet of Elemental Resonance
Wondrous Item (Gauntlet), rare (requires attunement)
This intricately crafted gauntlet shimmers with a shifting spectrum of colors, each hue representing one of the fundamental elements: earth, air, fire, and water. While wearing it, you can feel the pulse of nature's forces resonating through your very being. The gauntlet is adorned with tiny, luminescent crystals that change color based on the elements you harness.
While attuned to this item, you gain the following benefits:
-
Elemental Infusion: When you cast a spell that deals damage of one of the four elemental types (acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder), you can add an additional 1d6 damage of the same type. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier, regaining all expended uses after a long rest.
-
Resonant Shield: Once per short rest, as a reaction when you take damage of an elemental type, you can create a shield of elemental energy that reduces the damage you take from that attack by an amount equal to your character level. The type of energy used for this shield matches the type of damage you are taking.
-
Elemental Shift: As a bonus action, you can choose to shift the gauntlet’s resonance to one of the four elements. For the next minute, your spells and abilities that deal damage of the chosen element ignore resistance, but not immunity. You can use this ability once per long rest.
Each of these abilities allows you to adapt your strategies to various combat situations, encouraging creative use of the gauntlet's powers. Additionally, the gauntlet's vibrant colors can change based on the elemental energy you are currently channeling, serving as a visual representation of your connection to the elemental forces around you. When you aren’t wearing it, the gauntlet seems to hum softly, as if yearning to unleash its elemental might once more.
