I got really bored at work today while simultaneously suffering a bad case of the hiccups. While I languished in my annoyance, I came up with this item. What do you guys think?
Spasmodic Wand of Magical Might. Wonderous Item, Very Rare, Attunement (must be able to cast at least one spell)
This smoothly polished ebony rod is covered in glowing magical sigils, and a long scar mars one side. It thrums with arcane energy, promising great power to those who would wield it…If there weren’t a few hiccups in the design. Literally. The wand was created by a mighty wizard who suffered from chronic hiccups, and his condition was passed on to the wand.
While attuned, the wand gives a +2 bonus to spell attack and damage rolls, you ignore 3/4 cover when you make a spell attack, and increases the DC of your spells by 1. However, you also suffer a continual case of the hiccups, causing you to roll Concentration checks with disadvantage. These hiccups grow particularly fierce when magic is channeled through the wand; whenever you attempt to cast a spell, you must succeed on a DC 13 Concentration check. On a failure, the spell fizzles, but the spell slot isn’t wasted, as a sudden hiccup distracts you before you can use your magic.
Nothing, not even a wish spell, can cure these hiccups. They can, however, be suppressed by a minute long ritual where the wielder stands on their head and drinks a mixture of hot water, horseradish, and raw egg, the preferred cure of the wand’s creator. Once the ritual is over, the wielder’s hiccups vanish…for 15 minutes.
