The Crown of Brilliance is a fabled artifact, once manufactured by the most powerful mage of their era. Simply wearing it allows feats of incredible intellect, but tapping into its limitless power allows a mage to accomplish unimaginable magical deeds. No-one knows where the Crown can be located- the mage who crafted it exiled herself to a fortress on the Astral Plane before disappearing from history.
Crown of Brilliance Wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement) This artifact is made of purified platinum, and when worn, the user's brain becomes visible through the top of their head, sparkling with scintillating magical energy. Your Intelligence score is 30 while you wear this crown. It has no effect on you if your Intelligence is 30 or higher without it. In addition, any spells cast as a Wizard are increased by three additional spell levels (casting using a third-level spell slot counts as using a sixth-level spell slot, for example) at no cost. How you can use the Crown of Brilliance in your games: - The legend of this artifact tells that someone wearing it can understand the entirety of existence. It is an item sought by archmages, dragons, and gods alike. Even finding a clue to this item's location may draw down trouble the likes of which your PCs could never expect. - An evil archmage has discovered the location of the creator's intricate astral fortress, and the race has begun. Powerful forces have gathered, and agents from all walks of life are sought to interfere. The creator of the Crown has long since passed into unlife, her body desiccated into dust. However, her spirit somehow lingers, and might aid some of the seekers in finding her Crown, hidden behind deathtraps and magical protections. - If the Crown is recovered to the Material Plane, someone may have claimed it and be ruling a magical kingdom, their will backed up by tremendous power. This can affect your entire campaign world, leading to a campaign to overthrow the Mage-king, and discover how to destroy the Crown forever. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 27 June 2020.
