Powerful Spell The item gains an innate spell, height-
ened to 10th level. Its owner or the creature bonded to it
can cast that spell from the item once per day.
Unique Ability The item gains a unique ability. This
ability should be thematic for the item, and gains all the
necessary traits. It should require at least one action (but
can require a longer activity), and should be no more
powerful than a grand gift of a relic, a spell heightened
to your mythic heightened level that requires a similar
number of actions, or a similar effect granted by an ar-
tifact. The item must be an artifact to select this ability.
Guidelines:
If the item requires a save, use a High DC from Table
5-20 to determine the DC of that save.

If you create a hazard that can’t consistently attack the
PCs (like the Core Rulebook’s blade pillar, which moves in
a random direction), you can make it deadlier than nor-

The hazard should have as many actions as you feel it
needs to perform its routine. If you split the routine out
into several actions, you can also remove some of the haz-
ard’s actions once partial progress is made in disabling or
destroying it; this can give the PCs a feeling of progress,
and it can encourage them to handle the hazard if it ap-
