Acidic Brand (5e Equipment)

Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)

Half of your face is scarred forever with this searing, corrupted symbol. Although your mind is more focused, your spells are corrupted. To attune to this item, you must scar your face with a specially prepared magical acid throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the scar turns into the brand. You take 2 points of acid damage per turn, during the process of attunement. You can't attune with this item if you were immune to acid damage.

Deformed Face. While it’s on your skin, you have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks, but disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks.

Acidic Corruption. When you are attuned to this item, you can change the damage type of any spell you cast to acid damage.

Corrosive Magic. When you deal acid damage to a creature with a spell, the creature takes additional 1d8 damage on the beginning of its next turn. If the spell deals damage to more than one creature, you must choose one to be affected by the additional damage.

Caustic Blast. As an action, you can create a wave of acidic, corrupted energy streaks toward a creature within 20 feet. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC of 17, or take 4d12 acid damage.
