d10 illustrated magic items

I wrote these two years ago based on some "make a magic item out of this image" prompts. The images in question are included for reference's sake and I have attempted to identify their authors to the best of my ability. If I'm infringing on your copyright, let me know - the offending pic will be taken down ASAP.

1. Opalescent egg

This egg can be ground into fine powder. Blowing on the powder creates a perfectly realistic-looking rainbow in the sky. (Optional: The egg comes with a set of special lenses. If you whisper a message when blowing on the powder, anyone wearing the lense can see the message written on the rainbow.)

2. Medaillon of Youth
Bathing this medaillon in blood under the moonlight every week slows down the wearer's aging, and causes their nails to lengthen and sharpen to a deadly degree.

3. Mask of the Doomed
Wearing this mask allows you to hear the voices of the soon-to-be dead in a quarter-mile radius. It's fairly difficult to make sense of what they say, especially when you consider all the screaming.
Optional: If you manage to meditate for long enough while wearing the mask (it's quite a feat, you need a significant amount of willpower) you become increasingly able to isolate the voices in your mind and understand them.

4. Ring of the Depths
When wearing this ring inside a cavern, you can always locate an exit to the surface.
Optional: Wear it long enough, and you'll gain the ability to perceive your position in the dark through echolocation... but your vision might suffer.

5. The Flaming Oracle
This oven-sized stone grants useful visions of the future. The fire is hungry and seems to have a mind of its own. To benefit from these visions, you must write down some of your memories on a piece of parchment and feed it to the flame oracle -- you immediately forget the memories in question.


The more important and positive the memories, the longer and more precise the visions will get. If you throw in the diary you've kept since you were 10, you'll know nearly everything that'll happen to you in the next decades, at the cost of forgetting who you are.

6. Selena's Smile
If you look at the night sky while wearing this necklace, you may speak to the moon herself. She is ancient and knowledgeable, but tired and slow to answer. Optional: You're not actually talking to the moon, but to the ghost/soul/simulated personality of a long-dead sorcerer's loved one. The sorcerer lost her in a tragic accident and perhaps wanted to save her soul from a terrible afterlife. Said loved one may or may not believe herself to be the moon, after all this time stuck in a necklace.

7. Heels of Radiant Truth
These heels were given to a priestess of truth and law by her divinity. It was meant as both a gift and a test of faith. They surround you in radiant light if you so desire, let you walk through great heat or fire unscathed, and let you discern truths and lies.

When you knowingly speak a harmful or self-interested lie of your own, you suffer painful burns. This happens even if you've taken the heels off. The heels no longer have any effects on you, until you either confess the truth or spend a day in repentant pilgrimage and prayer

8. Gentleman's geode
A gift to a dwarven noble. It talks in a smooth voice and helpfully reminds you about today's agenda.

9. Mask of the Simurgh
A ceremonial mask worn by high-ranked cultists of the Simurgh, the great ancient bird, and bearing its blessing. The mask can be submerged into water or buried into the earth to purify it. The wearer may divine the past of an object it touches, specifically how it was created and by whom.

10. Warrior's memento
This ball of roughly carved jade can be set down on the corpse of a recently dead warrior. It will help guide the warrior's soul to the afterlife. If the warrior so wishes, he may impart a particular skill he had in life onto the piece of carved jade, such as a signature technique of theirs. A companion of the warrior who holds this item close to their heart can imitate this technique perfectly, guided by the warrior's spirit.
