Dove's Hope

Dove's Hope

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

This item appears to be a simple branch from an olive tree. However, upon touching it you suddenly feel that it exudes a feeling of pure hope. This is, in fact, the olive branch that was brought back to Noah on the Ark at the conclusion of the great flood. In this simple branch the dove carried the hope of the human race. Although Noah discarded this branch as he rushed out of the ark onto dry land, the divine magic infused in this branch has preserved it. Even today, thousands of years later, it still appears green and healthy, as though freshly plucked from a tree.

If you are within 30 feet of it, you can use your bonus action to speak its command word and cause the beacon of hope spell to be cast from it. When cast in this way, the spell's range increases to 60 feet, and its duration increases to 1 hour. While the spell is in effect, the olive branch begins to hover 5 feet off the ground, leaving your hands free. It continues to hover within 20 feet of you. If you move more than 20 feet from the hovering branch, it follows you until it is within 20 feet of you, taking the shortest route to do so.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until the following day at dawn.

Bible5e custom item. Its specific properties supplement the standard magic item rules.
