Radiate Crown
Wondrous item, rare
Component: Celestial (solar) soul
You’ve seen the world kneel before the might of the elements. You’ve seen the unholy potential of vile necromancy. You’ve seen the chaotic energy of raw magic. Yet all of those pale in comparison to this: the power of the sun… on the top of your head.
The orb of flame atop this crown sheds bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. While wearing the crown, you can use an action or bonus action to extinguish the flame or reignite it. The flame is extinguished if you remove the crown.
Deadly Laser. As a bonus action while wearing the crown with the flame ignited, you can cause a powerful beam of energy to emit from it at a point on the ground within 30 feet of you. You can then move that beam up to 20 feet along the ground in any combination of directions, after which it fades. Each creature on the ground whose space the beam moves through must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 radiant or fire damage (your choice when you use this property) on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once this property of the item has been used, roll a d6. On a 2 or lower, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
---------------------------------------
Uncommon variant: Reduce the DC to 13 and the damage to 3d6. The Deadly Laser property takes an action to use instead of a bonus action, and can’t be used again until the next dawn if you roll a 3 or lower on the d6.
Very rare variant: Increase the DC to 16, the damage to 5d6, and the distance the beam can move to 30 feet. The item has the Flash in the Pan property.
Flash in the Pan. While wearing the crown with the flame ignited, you can cast the daylight spell on it. When cast in this way, the spell lasts 10 minutes, and the light it produces is sunlight. Once this property of the item has been used, the crown’s flame is extinguished and can’t be ignited again until the next dawn.
