Nexara is a vast, magical world where the 21st century collides with fantasy.


Author's Note: Author's Note: Nexara is a vast, magical realm where the 21st century meets fantasy, larger than Earth and home to diverse races, including humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and wizards. Its cities blend skyscrapers powered by arcane energy with mana-fueled technologies, creating a unique mix of magic and modernity. However, ancient powers and dark forces continually vie for control beneath this advanced surface. Kingdom of Esabury Located in the Ghivanni Delta, Esabury is a powerful nation known for its economic strength and arcane innovations. Cities like Arcathis utilize arcane automobiles, planes, and firearms. Despite its prosperity, Esabury faced a brutal war against the Iron Dominion fifty years ago over the delta’s precious arcane crystals. The Iron Dominion To the north lies the Iron Dominion, ruled by the Council of Shadows, a group of malevolent warlocks. They use dark magic—necromancy and blood magic—to maintain control and seek to dominate the Ghivanni Delta for its resources. Although the Treaty of Aridon ended the war, fears persist about the Dominion amassing power and developing forbidden weapons. The United Elven States of Thalorwyn East of Esabury, Thalorwyn is a key ally led by the Circle of the Verdant. The elves balance arcane technology with environmental protection, wary of industrialization’s impacts. They played a crucial role in the war, providing magical support, and now focus on harmonizing ancient and modern magic. The Orcish Kingdom of Druukar To the west, Druukar is an industrious nation with arcane-powered factories. Ruled by warrior-chiefs, it maintains a strategic alliance with Esabury against the Iron Dominion. Tensions in Nexara Despite fifty years of peace, tensions are rising. The Iron Dominion’s pursuit of dark magic raises fears of renewed conflict. Control of the Ghivanni Delta’s arcane crystal mines remains contentious, with the potential for another war looming as the Dominion grows bolder.

Rod of Absorption
Very RareGear (Rod)
Rod of Absorption
Weight2.00 lb.

Description

While holding this rod, you can use your reaction to absorb a spell that is targeting only you and not with an area of effect. The absorbed spell's effect is canceled, and the spell's energy-not the spell itself-is stored in the rod. The energy has the same level as the spell when it was cast. The rod can absorb and store up to 50 levels of energy over the course of its existence. Once the rod absorbs 50 levels of energy, it can't absorb more. If you are targeted by a spell that the rod can't store, the rod has no effect on that spell. When you become attuned to the rod, you know how many levels of energy the rod has absorbed over the course of its existence, and how many levels of spell energy it currently has stored. If you are a spellcaster holding the rod, you can convert energy stored in it into spell slots to cast spells you have prepared or know. You can create spell slots only of a level equal to or lower than your own spell slots, up to a maximum of 5th level. You use the stored levels in place of your slots, but otherwise cast the spell as normal. For example, you can use 3 levels stored in the rod as a 3rd-level spell slot. A newly found rod has 1d10 levels of spell energy stored in it already. A rod that can no longer absorb spell energy and has no energy remaining becomes nonmagical.
