Tideheart Pearl
Description
A perfectly spherical pearl the size of a fist, shimmering with deep blue and green hues that shift like ocean currents. When held underwater, it emits a soft bioluminescent glow. Sea water within 10 feet of the pearl is always calm and clear.
Properties
- Aquatic Adaptation: While attuned, you can breathe water and have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.
- Control Water (1/Day): Cast control water (DC 16).
- Tidal Ward (1/Day): As a reaction when you would take cold or lightning damage, you gain resistance to that damage until the start of your next turn.

Lore
Cult mages of the Hand of Ruin use Tideheart Pearls to command sahuagin, merrow, and other aquatic servants. Each pearl is grown inside a bound water elemental and harvested — a process that destroys the elemental. The trapped elemental's consciousness remains in the pearl, and attuned wielders sometimes hear it weeping.
