Faeries and magical creatures have been a part of folklore and mythology for centuries. These enchanting beings are often believed to reside in mythical realms, invisible to the human eye. Faeries, also known as fairies, are commonly depicted as small, winged creatures with magical powers. They are often associated with nature and are believed to be guardians of the natural world. In folklore, faeries are known to possess both mischievous and benevolent qualities. They are said to use their magic to help or hinder humans, depending on their mood.

D&D: Five Magic Spears To Go With Your Magic Helmet
Everyone knows spears are the best fantasy weapon, and with these five magic spears, you’re sure to get your hands on that wascally wabbit.
If there’s one thing that we can all agree on it’s that Spears > Swords, and yet for some reason the pages of D&D Adventures are chock full of magic swords. Swords are the weapons of the bourgeoisie: they aren’t fit for hunting, require significant wealth to create, they’re a sign of “nobility”, and are only good for fighting. Spears, on the other hand, are as much tools as they are weapons. Anyone can have a spear. You can feed a family if you know how to wield a spear, you can fight side-by-side with your brother, and when your spear is broken and its blade bent, the haft will keep you warm at night, as your spear gives up its body to the flames.
In short, spears are as elegant as swords but better in every way, and here are five magic spears to reach for the next time you want to give your friends something that makes them think about socioeconomics in their fantasy adventuring.
Khrusor, Spear of Heliod
AdvertisementTaken from one of the sleeper hits of 5E, Mythic Odysseys of Theros, Khrusor is a spear blessed with the power of the sun. On its own it’s a +3 spear that can deal 2d8 extra radiant damage, that gives off bright light in a 30-foot radius, lets you use your reaction to make an attack against a creature that damages you, blinding it if you hit, and it can cast the various sun spells. But if you worship the god associated with it (like Heliod or, say, Pelor), then this spear gives you bonuses as you build up more piety. You can gain 15 temporary hit points at each dawn, and unlock minor and major beneficial properties. What more could you ask for from a spear?
Ruin’s Wake
How about a spear made from the ivory bone of an ancient gold dragon? This weapon is a powerful “Betrayer” weapon, meaning that it functions like one of the Vestiges of Divergence, introduced in Critical Role’s Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, and Ruin’s Wake is a doozy. In its dormant state, it’s a sentient spear that grants you a +1 bonus to attack and damage, as well as dealing an extra 1d8 damage. And, like it’s sun-blessed counterpart up there, Ruin’s Wake also lets you make a reaction attack, only it works whenever you’re hit by a melee attack.
If you awaken it, its bonuses increase, and you gain the ability to hurl your spear like a lightning bolt (per the spell), and eventually even regain hit points when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with an attack from the spear.
Blood Spear
In addition to being the 4th track of a Metal Band’s dark fantasy concept album, a Blood Spear is also an Uncommon magic spear that you can find in the Curse of Strahd, this one is worth knowing about even if you never venture into Barovia. It’s a fantastic weapon to give to brooding creepy types, Bladelocks, and Paladins who are getting a little too comfortable with how righteous they are.
AdvertisementWhen you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points with this weapon, it gives you back 2d6 hit points. See? Spears give back to the wielder. I’d like to see a sword do that.

Reviews for "The Dark Side of Faerie Magic: Beware of the Unseen Dangers"
1. John - 2 stars
I found "Faeries and magical creatures" to be quite disappointing. The storyline was dull and predictable, and the characters lacked depth. The descriptions of the magical creatures were also lacking, leaving me with no real connection or understanding of these supposed enchanting beings. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity to create a captivating and imaginative fantasy world.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I can honestly say that "Faeries and magical creatures" was a complete letdown. The writing was mediocre at best, with flat dialogue and an unengaging narrative. The author failed to paint a vivid picture of the faeries and magical creatures, making it hard to visualize and connect with the story. The plot was disjointed, lacking any suspense or excitement. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a truly immersive fantasy read.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Faeries and magical creatures," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The pacing was slow, making it difficult to stay invested in the story. The characters felt one-dimensional and lacked any real development. Additionally, the world-building left much to be desired, as it never fully explored the magical creatures mentioned in the title. Overall, this book lacked the enchantment and depth I was anticipating, and I was left feeling underwhelmed.
4. David - 3 stars
While "Faeries and magical creatures" had an intriguing concept, I felt that the execution was lacking. The story had potential, but it failed to fully immerse me in its world. The magical creatures were mentioned briefly, but there was never enough description or exploration to truly make them come alive. The pacing also felt uneven, with long periods of mundane events and little action. While this book had some enjoyable moments, it ultimately didn't live up to its promise.
