[Magical Academy] The Uplifter (Patreon)

Wondrous item, rare

Devised by a pair of mischievous magical students, this firework has been banned from nearly all major learning institutions. Although its intricate magic produces a dazzling array of shapes and colours, its raw explosive power is such that many have taken to using it for more offensive purposes, and its name has taken on a much more literal meaning.

Liftoff! While holding this firework, you can use an action to point it at a creature within 30 feet of you and speak its command word, causing a firework to shoot at the target. Make a ranged spell attack against the target (+7 to hit). On a hit, the target is lifted 30 feet up in a straight line by the firework. The firework then explodes in a shower of colourful sparks, and each creature within 15 feet of the target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 fire damage and 4d6 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The creature lifted up by the firework automatically fails on this saving throw, then falls to the ground unless it can somehow hold itself aloft. The firework explodes prematurely if the target hits another creature or an obstacle during its ascent.

---------------------------------------

Uncommon variant: Reduce the spell attack modifier to +5, the save DC to 13 and the fire and thunder damage to 3d6 each.

Very rare variant: Increase the spell attack modifier to +8 and the save DC to 16. You have a higher degree of control over the firework; when it hits a creature, the firework drags it up to 30 feet in a path of your choice (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) before detonating.
