Astral Bracelet of Energy

Wondrous item, very rare (Requires attunement by a sorcerer or wizard)

An astral bracelet is a powerful magical bangle that allows its wearer to see, commune, or otherwise manifest things using powers beyond the Material Plane. The metal and glyphs of each bracelet are related to the kind of power that it holds. You can pull the bracelet off and hold it in the palm of your hand as an action. When you do, the bracelet unfurls to reveal the four inner rings collapsed within it, transforming the bracelet into an astronomical sphere. While the bracelet is transformed into the astronomical sphere, its inner rings slowly spin on their own.

The bracelet has 10 charges and regains 2d4 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the sphere's last charge, its spinning rings magically fold up again into the wearable bracelet. you can fold the rings back into place early using an action.

Spells. Each kind of astral bracelet has a different list of spells that can be cast from it. If a spell cast in this way normally requires a component worth at least 100 gp, that component is still required when casting the spell. While holding the sphere, you can expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the following spells from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier and spell save DC:

Astral Bracelet of Energy Spells. Dispel Magic (3 charges), Tenser's Floating Disk (1 charge), Globe of Invulnerability (6 charges), Hallucinatory Terrain (4 charges), Hypnotic Pattern (3 charges), Protection From Energy (3 charges), or Otiluke's Resilient Sphere (4 charges).

The rings spun wildly as the incantation finished. Blues and reds and bursts of golden arcane energy flung from the astrolabe. Stars sputtered in and out of existence around them as the ground beneath Galan and his companions bent and curled between their feet. Suddenly, as if just waking up, the world around them was different. Flames billowed around them and the heat was almost unbearable.

Galan looked down at the sphere in his hand. One of the rings sputtered to a halt, while the others continued to move lazily about on their own accord.

He folded the rings back into place, forming a bracelet of the astrolabe, before replacing it on his left wrist. He winced a little as hot metal bands touched his skin.

"Can't that thing do anything pleasant, Galan?" asked the armored warrior to his right. She was in for the worst of it, given this heat.

"Only as pleasant as the world around us can be. It warps the fabric of planes: not the nature of them."

The party continued forward, making their way toward the dark, looming tower before them.
