Charges: 10 (regains at dawn)

This helm is crafted from dark steel, embossed with intricate swirling patterns that shimmer faintly with a violet hue. The inside is lined with soft padding, and an array of tiny gems embedded along the forehead glows with a soft bluish light. Etiquettes of long-forgotten languages are inscribed around its rim, hinting at its ancient origins.

Telepathic Communication While wearing this helm, you can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 120 feet of you. You don't need to share a language, but you must be able to understand at least one language to converse.

Psychic Blast As an action, you can spend 3 charges to unleash a wave of psychic energy. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet must make a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw, taking 6d10 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Mind Shield You gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, and creatures that attempt to read your thoughts must succeed on a DC 18 Intelligence check or be unable to do so for 1 minute.

Lore

Legends suggest that the Helm of the Mind's Eye was created by a cabal of powerful psychics who sought to enhance their mental prowess. It is said that the helm once belonged to a revered sage who could foresee events and influence the minds of kings, changing the course of history.

History

The helm was lost during a great cataclysm when the sage attempted to harness its powers for a forbidden ritual. It was buried within the ruins of a once-thriving city, waiting for a worthy adventurer to uncover its secrets and return its power to the world. Rumors of its existence have driven many to madness in search of its legendary abilities.
