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.

Description

This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While you hold it, you gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls. The staff has 50 charges for the following properties. It regains 4d6 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 20, the staff regains 1d12 + 1 charges. ***Spell Absorption.*** While holding the staff, you have advantage on saving throws against spells. In addition, you can use your reaction when another creature casts a spell that targets only you. If you do, the staff absorbs the magic of the spell, canceling its effect and gaining a number of charges equal to the absorbed spell's level. However, if doing so brings the staff's total number of charges above 50, the staff explodes as if you activated its retributive strike (see below). ***Spells.*** While holding the staff, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spellcasting ability: conjure elemental (7 charges), dispel magic (3 charges), fireball (7th-level version, 7 charges), flaming sphere (2 charges), ice storm (4 charges), invisibility (2 charges), knock (2 charges), lightning bolt (7th-level version, 7 charges), passwall (5 charges), plane shift (7 charges), telekinesis (5 charges), wall of fire (4 charges), or web (2 charges). You can also use an action to cast one of the following spells from the staff without using any charges: arcane lock, detect magic, enlarge/reduce, light, mage hand, or protection from evil and good. ***Retributive Strike.*** You can use an action to break the staff over your knee or against a solid surface, performing a retributive strike. The staff is destroyed and releases its remaining magic in an explosion that expands to fill a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on it. You have a 50 percent chance to instantly travel to a random plane of existence, avoiding the explosion. If you fail to avoid the effect, you take force damage equal to 16 × the number of charges in the staff. Every other creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes an amount of damage based on how far away it is from the point of origin, as shown in the following table. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage. | Distance from Origin | Damage | |---|---| | 10 ft. away or closer | 8 × the number of charges in the staff | | 11 to 20 ft. away | 6 × the number of charges in the staff | | 21 to 30 ft. away | 4 × the number of charges in the staff |
