Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A finely tailored hat of midnight-blue felt, trimmed with iridescent silk. The crown is subtly domed, and a narrow ribbon of color-seamed thread runs around the base. When worn, the hat glows softly, tinting the wearer's silhouette with a spectrum that shifts with their mood.

Moodcolor Shifting The hat's crown and brim shimmer with color, shifting to reflect the wearer's current emotion. The color changes automatically as mood shifts and is visible to anyone nearby.

Mood Surge The hat has 7 charges and recharges at dawn. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to invoke a mood surge that corresponds to the hat's color. The effect lasts 1 minute. Red: on a hit with a weapon attack during the aura, the target takes an extra 1d4 fire damage. Orange: allies within 10 feet have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Yellow: you have advantage on concentration checks to maintain spells. Green: you gain resistance to poison damage. Blue: you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks. Indigo: you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Violet: you gain a +1 bonus to AC and to saving throws against spells. If a new surge is activated while another is active, the old one ends early.

Lore

The Moodmender Prism Hat was woven by moodbinders of the Dawnweave Guild, who learned to translate emotion into color and magic. It is said to be capable of guiding crowds, calming tempers, and emboldening hearts depending on the wearer’s feelings.

History

The hat's first owner was a traveling bard who used it to calm a riot-torn city. Since then, it has passed through performers, diplomats, and wanderers, each leaving a tale of how the hat's color shifted the room's tempo and the fate of those within reach.
