Elemental Essence Shard
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a sorcerer)
- Weight: 1.0 lbs.
This crackling crystal contains the essence of an elemental plane. As an action, you can attach the shard to a Tiny object (such as a weapon or a piece of jewelry) or detach it. It falls off if your attunement to it ends. You can use the shard as a spellcasting focus while you hold or wear it.
Roll a d4 and consult the Elemental Essence Shards table to determine the shard’s essence and property. When you use a Metamagic option on a spell while you are holding or wearing the shard, you can use that property.
