Ruby Slippers of Teleportation are a legendary wondrous item, imbued with powerful magical properties and a curse that both aids and hinders their wearer. Here’s a detailed description:

Properties:

  • Teleportation: Once per day, as an action, the wearer can click their heels together to activate the slippers’ teleportation ability. They can teleport to any location they have visited before, or to a location they can see within 30 feet. The teleportation is instantaneous and does not require concentration.
  • Protection: While wearing the ruby slippers, the wearer gains advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects that would attempt to forcibly move or restrain them, as if they were under the effect of the Freedom of Movement spell.
  • Mystical Resilience: The wearer gains resistance to all damage while teleporting, and they cannot be targeted or affected by attacks or spells during the teleportation process.

Curse:

  • Compulsive Teleportation: The wearer becomes increasingly drawn to using the slippers’ teleportation ability, feeling compelled to escape from danger or explore new locations at every opportunity. They must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw each time they attempt to resist the urge to teleport. On a failed save, they must immediately use the slippers’ teleportation ability to transport themselves to a random location within 500 feet.
  • Envious Gaze: The ruby slippers draw the attention of those who covet their power. The wearer becomes the target of thieves, adventurers, and dark forces who seek to claim the slippers for themselves.

Attunement:

  • Attunement to the ruby slippers requires the wearer to spend 1 hour concentrating on their magical properties while wearing them. Once attuned, the wearer gains access to the slippers’ abilities and bonuses.

Description:

The ruby slippers are adorned with shimmering red gemstones that seem to glow with an inner fire. Delicate silver filigree traces intricate patterns across the surface of the slippers, enhancing their magical aura. Despite their elegant appearance, the slippers are surprisingly sturdy and comfortable to wear, molding themselves to the wearer’s feet like a second skin.

History:

Legend holds that the ruby slippers were crafted by an ancient wizard as a gift for a powerful sorceress, granting her the ability to traverse the realms at will. Over the centuries, the slippers passed from owner to owner, each one harnessing their magical energies for their own purposes. But beware, for those who seek to claim the slippers for themselves may find that their power comes at a terrible price.
