Miriam's Cup

Miriam's Cup

Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)

This small stone vessel is hewn from granite with primitive tools. If you were not aware of its history, it would be easy to overlook this item as a useless relic of ancient times. However, this was once the most powerful item carried by the Israelite leader named Miriam.

Along with Moses and Aaron, Miriam was one of the great leaders of the Israelite people in their journeys through the Wilderness of Zin, and it was from her that the people received the gift of water. While attuned to the cup, you gain the following benefits:

  • The small stone vessel always appears empty, but by speaking the command word and tipping it sideways, fresh water pours out of it.
  • You gain innate control over water at all times, as though through the control water spell.
  • As a Magic action, you may throw the cup up to 30 feet away, where it immediately sinks into the ground. Water begins to well up from this point, until it has created a pool 20 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep. Retrieving the cup takes a Utilize action, and after the cup has been retrieved, the pool of water immediately disperses.

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