Skygrinder's Tonic (5e Equipment)

Potion, legendary (minor) Skygrinder's tonic is an immensely powerful brew, so named because those who drink it run so swiftly that they leave behind a trail of sparks wherever they go. It can barely contain its own energy, as minor electrical shocks constantly flash within its flask. When drunk, you experience the effects of the haste, longstrider, and expeditious retreat spells all at once for 10 minutes. When the duration ends, you suffer a level of exhaustion as the unnatural rush of energy suddenly washes out of your system. Due to the instability of the skygrinder's tonic, there is a 1 in 20 chance when drunk that the bottle simply explodes in your hand instead: Make a DC(20) Constitution saving throw, taking 4d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. There is also a 1 in 20 chance that the skygrinder's tonic could be a perfect batch. When this potion is drunk, you additionally experience the effects of a time stop spell, with the addition that the spell does not end if you move further than 1000 feet away from the point where you drunk the potion. You still suffer a level of exhaustion when the spell ends.
