Curious Cabinets

Allegiance Pins

Wondrous Item, Common

The pins form a pair. Over 1 minute, two willing creatures each fasten one pin to their clothing and speak the other's name. A wearer can then use a Magic action to make the hands of its shadow mimic the other wearer's hand gestures for 1 minute. The effect works while both pins are worn and their wearers are within 1 mile on the same plane. The shadow stays attached to its owner's feet and retains its normal direction and length. In complete darkness, it has no visible effect. Removing either pin ends the pairing. A new pairing replaces the previous one.

Sweetheart's Spoon

Wondrous Item, Common

Over 1 minute, a willing creature can whisper one of the feeder's own names, up to three words, into the spoon while feeding another willing creature a spoonful of food. For 1 hour, whenever any creature within 30 feet of the eater tries to speak that exact name, it sneezes a little red heart in place of the name. The heart vanishes after 1 second. The speaker can continue its sentence, and can use other names, descriptions, or writing freely. The sneeze affects speech only. A spell requiring that exact spoken name cannot be cast within 30 feet of the eater. The feeder can end the effect as a Bonus Action while within 30 feet of the eater. The spoon can create one effect and regains this property at dawn.

Waxen Thumb

Wondrous Item, Common

As a Magic action, press the thumb against an object's moving part that you could move with one hand. The wax takes its impression. For 1 hour, while the object is within 30 feet of you, you can use a Magic action to move that part by pressing or bending the thumb. The part moves with the force of your hand and through its normal range of motion. A lock, bar, or other obstruction stops it normally. Taking another impression erases the first.

Shadow Pincers

Wondrous Item, Rare

As a Magic action, grasp the shadow cast by one nonmagical object onto a flat surface. The shadow must fit inside a 5-foot square. It becomes a rigid, opaque black sheet, 1/4 inch thick, with the shadow's outline. It forms in the shadow's position and orientation, held by the pincers against the surface. Once formed, the sheet can be released from the pincers, lifted, and placed elsewhere. The sheet weighs 5 pounds, has AC 12 and 10 Hit Points, and supports up to 200 pounds. Exceeding this load destroys it. Its source object casts a pale gray shadow while the sheet exists. After 1 hour, or when the sheet is destroyed, it dissolves and the source's usual shadow returns. The pincers can be used once per dawn.

Paired Door Clips

Wondrous Item, Uncommon

Spend 1 minute fastening one clip to the bottom of each of two unlocked, unbarred hinged doors within 60 feet of each other. Each door can be up to 10 feet high and 5 feet wide. Unlinked doors open and close normally. Set both doors to the same opening angle before linking them.

As a Magic action while touching either clip, link the doors for 10 minutes. If their opening angles differ, the link fails and the daily use remains available. Opening or closing either door opens or closes the other by the same angle in its own swing direction. A lock, bar, obstruction, or the end of either door's swing stops both doors. A creature holding a door stationary or standing in its swing counts as an obstruction. Each door takes damage normally.

Removing either clip as a Utilize action, or separating the doors by more than 60 feet, ends the link. If either door comes off its hinges, the link ends. Both doors remain at their current angles. Once linked, the pair regains this property at dawn.

Shearer's Scissors

Wondrous Item, Uncommon

Spend 1 minute cutting 1 pound of loose wool with the scissors. The wool twists into a 20-foot rope ladder with loops at both ends. The ladder weighs 1 pound, supports 500 pounds, and has AC 11 and 10 Hit Points. It becomes loose wool after 8 hours, when a rung or side rope is cut, or when it reaches 0 Hit Points. You can make one ladder at a time; making another returns the previous ladder to wool. The scissors can use the same recovered wool repeatedly.
