Tuesday Magic Item – Faerie Candies

Gollaon watched the candy seller carefully.

Voddick watched his friend as he ate an apple.  “Problem?”

“I do not think so,” said Gollaon slowly, “but I think there are going to be some very surprised parents.”

Faerie Candies

These items are manufactured by fae confectioners for ‘export’ to the mortal realm.  They are designed to sow confusion and chaos but can sometimes be useful.

They are candies in the form of insects and some of them contain sparks of fae magic and when eaten, give access to that magic.

Some of the common ones are:

• Caterpillar Candies, spider climb for 1d4+4 rounds.
• Dragonfly Drops, fly for 1d3+1 rounds (and feather fall if they are in the air when it wears off).
• Firefly Fruits, the person glows (and cannot hide) for 2d4+2 rounds and once during that dime that can cast dancing light or faerie fire.
• Grasshopper Gumdrops, the consumer can jump for the next 1d4+4 rounds.
• Ladybird Lozenges, beyond soothing the throat, the consumer gains 1d4+ their Constitution bonus in temporary hit points and a +1 Natural armor while any of those temporary hit points remain (they fade after five minutes if not used up before that).
• Licorice Roach, gives a +2 alchemical bonus to saves against poison and the consumer automatically stabilizes at negative hit points for 1d4+1 minutes after eating it.

And there are probably others.

Notes: Just some wacky fae magic to cause strange things to happen.
