4 Eggsucker Staff [Magic Item]
One of the more disturbing items lizardfolk shamans of Madder create is the eggsucker staff. Small squares of eggshell cover the gnarled staff like mosaic tiles, and whole eggs bulge out of the staff like tumorous growths. As the wielder uses up the abilities, the eggs soften and wither as if being sucked hollow, until their shells break and slough off. Despite it's strange appearance, the eggsucker staff is actually an item of genesis. It allows the following:
(1 Use) Full Resurrection (No Loss of Rezz)
(2 Uses) Resurrection
(2 Uses) Animate Plants
(1 Use) Regrow Body Part
(5 Uses) Heal up to 10hp

6. Fey Queen's Magpie [Magic Item]
(No good or evil)
Created by an ancient fey queen who could see the threads of fate, this intelligent, magical construct bird is made of bones fused by alchemy and magic. It takes the shape of a bird constructed of alchemically hardened and magically enhanced bone. A creature wishing to use this artifact must be neither good nor evil and must spend at least 24 hours with the magpie in its possession. Once it does so, the magpie serves its bearer until it is dismissed, its master commits such an evil or good act that their alignment changes to good or evil, or the magpie is destroyed.
The fey queen's magpie has the following abilities:
-Three times per day on command, and while in contact with the artifact, the bird's bearer can use it to cast a spell beyond the allowed number in combat. You may only use this once per combat, though three times per day.
-At will and on command, the bird's master can make it go forth and send messages, as if it were the subject of an animal messenger spell.
-Three times per day on command, the bird's master can have the magpie cast a healing spell that does 4d5 healing. If the target is over their hit points (dead), and the healing would bring them under their max hit points, then they are revived.
