Composition: Warrior centered, phoenix in the background with wings spread. Color Scheme: Dark armor with gold detailing, phoenix in blue, purple, and orange with a fiery effect. Lighting: Dramatic with high contrast, emphasizing the interplay of fire-like glow and shadows. The overall atmosphere is one of awe and impending action, as if the warrior and the phoenix are preparing for an epic battle. The background is a gradient of dusk, transitioning from a deep indigo at the top to a warm fiery orange at the bottom, symbolizing the convergence of ice and fire. The phoenix's feathers are a vibrant mixture of blue, purple, and orange hues, with subtle embers and flames emanating from its body. Behind her, a mythical phoenix spreads its grand wings, embodying an ethereal presence. Her hair is styled in waves, cascading down her shoulders, with a focused and intense gaze.

The warrior is adorned in dark, intricately designed armor with golden accents, resembling that of medieval fantasy.

The diamonds will glow if there are any Undead creatures within a 30-foot radius, rubies grant fire resistance and add fire damage to the Bard's main weapon.A hyper-realistic portrait of a female warrior standing confidently with the backdrop of a majestic phoenix. Aside from the spellcasting powers attached to the gems, the helm has several other handy uses. Other spells include Daylight for the opals, Fireball for the fire opals, and Wall of Fire for the rubies.Īny gem removed from the helm turns to dust, and if all the gems are removed from the crown, it loses its magical power. There are 10 charges of Prismatic Spray for every diamond in the helm. The catch is that the power of the gems is what grants the helm its spellcasting power, and every time the Bard uses one of these powers, one of the gems fades away. Its adornments include 10 diamonds, 20 rubies, 30 fire opals, and 40 opals. The Helm of Brilliance is one of the most useful items for casters and also one of the best magical items for Bards specifically. Modifiers: A wide and creative variety depending on how many jewels, and of what kind, adorn the crown.The most powerful of the instruments is the Legendary Ollamh harp, which can cast Confusion, Control Weather, and Fire Storm.

Some, like the cittern or the mandolin, come with the ability to cast Cure Wounds (among a couple of other spells each), while the lyre can create walls of wind and fire, and the lute can protect from energy and poison. On top of that, each instrument subtype has its own unique list of spells. All of these instruments give the Bard the ability to cast many useful abilities, though once the instrument has been used to cast a spell, it can't be used again until the next day. Seven Instruments of the Bard exist, some that are rarer than others. Instruments of the Bard are designed with bards alone in mind, and they'll amplify the already considerable arcane powers that come with their musical ability, so they're one of the best magical items that any bard can have. Modifiers: Use an Action to play the instrument and cast 1 of its spells once a day.Source: Dungeon Master's Guide and Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
