Gem of the Genasi (5e Equipment)

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a genasi) While attuned to this gem, its effects can affect you within 300 feet of the gem itself. This gem only affects Genasi. While attuned and within range, you can transform yourself into a form made purely of your element. You can only stay in your transformed state for 1 minute.

While transformed, you have the following traits: Air Genasi: When in pure air form, you gain a flying speed of 60 feet, you are seemingly invisible, and can slip through almost any small space. You cannot attack in this form, but you can attempt to knock a creature prone by making them make a Strength saving throw of DC equal to your Constitution score.
