Elite Workshop Day 2 — What item should we make that you'd want in the Shadowfell?

Hey heroes! Thanks for the votes and comments yesterday! Let's make another item together!

These are loose item ideas based on the suggestions from yesterday's direction poll. Some of these may have had their ideas adjusted or combined with other like-minded suggestions. The final product may or may not use the original wording, so these are the core of the items' functionality and flavor.

Ideas

Night's Menagerie — A black iron circlet adorned with representations of various night-dwelling creatures. Using charges, you can manifest ghostly apparitions form the circlet that grant benefits, such as a wolf's bite attack, a bat's sonic sight, and a rat's ability to sneak around unseen.

Shadoweaver's Guise — A threadbare gray cloak that gives you the undead creature type while in dim light or darkness, as well as preventing you from being surprised for the duration. If you cast an evocation spell, you can change the damage type to necrotic. It has a curse that prevents you from casting light.

Veiled Guilt — A tall tower shield in the shape of a coffin. You can use its charges to create cones of retributive magic that deal psychic damage and, on a failed save, cause enemy creatures to be frightened of you for a short time.

Helm of Despair — A magical helm that wards you from effects that would alter your emotions, but allows you to warp the negative ones of creatures nearby. While activated, creatures that come within 10 feet of you need to make a save against either Anger, Fear, or Sadness, each with their respective side effects that occur upon a failed save.

Orb of Clarity — An orb that follows you can gives off a soft, warm light. While in the bright light of this orb, you have a bonus to resist effects that would alter your emotions, cause fear, or instigate madness.

Thanks for the suggestions! Let's make something fun this week!
