Trident of the Tidal Shaper (5e Equipment)
| A trident glowing with astral light, adorned with flowing water-like patterns. |
Weapon (Trident), artifact (Requires attunement by a creature with a swimming speed or an Astral Tideborn.)
The Trident of the Tidal Shaper is an ancient artifact forged by Pelagor, the Tidal Shaper, one of the Galactic Titans. This legendary weapon channels the unrelenting power of the oceans and the guiding force of astral tides. Its polished, metallic surface glows faintly with the light of distant stars, and streams of shimmering water encircle the trident when it is wielded.
History: This artifact was said to be crafted during the Convergence, where Pelagor imbued it with the power to maintain the balance of water across the multiverse. It has since been lost to time, rumored to rest in the sunken ruins of an astral temple.

Call the Tides. As an action, you can summon a massive wave in a 60-foot cone. Creatures in the area must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw or take 6d10 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.
