Whip of Paralyzing Mercury
Weapon (whip), very rare (requires attunement)
This whip infuses and harnesses the power of mercury to poison and paralyze enemies. It has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charges at dawn.
Paralyzing Mercury. If a creature is hit by this whip, by expending 2 charges, the deadly mercury infused within this weapon sticks to the target and is absorbed by them. That creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d4 poison damage and is paralyzed until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t paralyzed. This ability does not affect constructs or undead.
Malleable Mercury. The malleability of the magical mercury allows its user to bend and shape it to cause various wounds. By expending a charge, the user can change the normal damage type of this weapon to Bludgeoning, Slashing or Piercing. The weapon will retain this damage type until another charge is expended in this same way.
While attuned to this weapon, the user can use this weapon’s handle to observe the immediate surrounding area’s exact temperature between 38°C and 338°C. If the temperature is below 38°C or above 338°C, this whip and its abilities are rendered unusable.

Unlike the homes of his Dwarvish ancestors, a once-vacant place where magnificent rock deposits were hewn into nigh-perfect gems, the mountain of Rothegar bid Daldren Broadstead and his company a most unwelcome visit.
The first month of exploration and excavation saw the discovery of a nest of Hook Horrors, and the subsequent loss of a half dozen members of his company. In the second month three more perished from the suffocating vapour pockets they found.
Morale was at an all time low, and an uprising of company men who sought to abandon their quest were becoming increasingly vocal. Daldren, as stubborn a leader as his father before him, promised riches beyond measure; he said “My brothers, the vision I saw was no mere dream, but a prophecy! When have my visions failed us before?”, he asked, to which the others offered no reply, recalling their leader’s previous visions.
Daldren had led them to a great abandoned fortress, now a beacon among the Dwarvish Kingdom, to a shipwreck where a crown jewel was recovered from a swashbuckling legend, and to a trapped company of Dwarves beneath crumbling castle ruins.
Ever deeper the company delved into the depths of Rothegar as supplies became scarce with hungry mouths to feed. But everything changed with one more picking of stone…
“Mercurite!” Daldren said in wonder as one of the miners called him over. The deep red stone started to glow and Daldren suddenly yelled, “Get back!” A huge explosion scattered rock and sent shuddering trembles up the mountain. Daldren caught the miner and swung back on the rope affixed to him just in time.
“Get Zirtara!” Daldren yelled.

Disney's Wish poster redesign
The composition was referenced from Stardust (2007) poster because that movie is about the star character who falls from the sky and meet the main human character just like Wish's early concept.
Original poster below

Jiralf* Infant Development
Very little is known of Jiralf culture and biology, and what we do know is only given to us by dissenters. Due to the war, information on anything jiralf related is very minimal, however, we do know some things.
Mostly that baby jiralves are able to walk before they are a year old. there are many theories as to why this is, but the main one is the fact that, while jiralves are the dominate species of their planet, they still are hunted by predatory animals.
And adult jiralf can only carry an infant for maybe the first five (5) months of the infants life, before they become too heavy for the jiralf's "arms". While a baby can be easily carried on the mother's or father's back, the ability to walk becomes an important part of an infants early development. Even if it's not as important as it use to be.

minor spoilers but one thing i really loved about the dnd movie is how there's never a metafictional/ framing device that shows the actual game being played but you can still follow along and tell when they made a good or bad roll

Mercurite Stone
Wondrous item, very rare
Only the most experienced of spellcasters are able to cast the intricate runic magic inscribed on this small deep red sulphide mineral. Often found alone in chests filled with soft cushions or hay, the magic traps the volatile toxic compounds held within.
As an action, you can strike or throw the stone at a target to cause the runic magic to unravel, and the deadly mercury inside to explode. Upon impact, all creatures within a 10-foot radius must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 Poison damage and 2d6 Force damage, and is paralyzed for 30 seconds. At the end of each of its turns, a paralyzed creature can make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, ending the effect on a success. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is not paralyzed. Constructs and undead cannot be paralyzed by this effect.
Once this item has been used, the stone’s properties become inert and may not be used in the same way again.

“Incredible!” Zirtara said as she inspected the Mercurite Stone, pulling her stool closer in towards her desk.
“The composition of this stone, the makeup, the power…”
Zirtara carefully made an incision into the stone. At its core, a silver liquid rested, much like the seeds of an apple. As she poured the silver liquid into an iron beaker, Zirtara observed the liquid as it moved around the beaker, studying its surroundings, climbing its walls. Quickly, Zirtara placed a lid on the beaker and sighed in relief.
“Oh there’s more to this stone than meets the eye. Perhaps this can be fashioned into something.” Zirtara pondered.

I got wildly sick of white European farm boy fantasy a while back. Thank goodnes I didn't have to look hard to find other things, and plenty of them (literally this is not my whole collection, I just couldn't ffit everything in the picture)!
Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko follows Tar as she finds her family in an African-inspired fantasy world. The haunting "made of me, and me is mine" still echoes in my head. That and Dayo literally being the adoptive uncle who gets his nibling an elephant.
These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong explores Chinese and Russian rival crime families in fantasy 1920s Shanghai. For my Shakespeareans in the audience, yes, it's also a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. For those of you with bug phobias, beware.
Tha Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri is often described as having morally gray lesbians, and that's true. But while Priya and Malini are compelling and fascinating to follow, I am HERE for the Hirana. Semi-sentient, possibly evil temple who is soft for its favorite trainee priestess in hiding? YES.
Jade City by Fonda Lee follows the Green Bones in fantasy Asia, as two warring gangs find their places in a rapidly modernizing world. Shae and Hilo's relationship in particular is fascinating.
Full Disclosure: I haven't finished Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, but the first couple of chapters are a WOW and I can't wait to finish this Korean-inspired fairy tale retelling.
The Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan was sheer joy from start to finish, and I have not yet stopped asking "What the Actual HELL, Wenzhi???" Inspired by the myth of Chang'e, this book is a must-read. (The sequel is out November 2022 and I am so excited!!!)
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao took me by the throat and literally did not let me go until the book ended--and even then, it less let me go and more threw me against the boards until round 2. The triangle is the strongest shape, and this has phenomenal poly and disability representation.
Another full disclosure: I haven't started Judy Lin's A Magic Steeped in Poison, but I am so excited for it. There is literal and figurative tea promised, and I am here for it.
The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah scratched a reading itch I didn't even know I had, and I love this book so much. It has cinnaprinces, a Loulie, jinn, forty thieves, and stories within stories.
Last full disclosure of the post: I also haven't read the doorstopper that is RR Virdi's The First Binding, but it is a heckin' chonk of a book that I am super excited to dive into.

I love how Neil Gaiman’s works intricately weaves fantastical elements into our familiar world. While I am absolutely fond of works that take place entirely within a fantasy world (e.g., LOTR), it’s easy for me to get lost in those worlds and feel a sense of emptiness when I’ve finished the stories. But Gaiman’s works feel like a gentle guide who makes sure I find the way back into my world and reassures me that the way’s not closed forever. They make us look at our world with a more magical, kinder eyes.
