Fan art week: The Owl House is wonderful.

Eda the Owl Lady’s perfect magical staff.

Owlbert, the Owl Staff: On the Boiling Isles, witches staves and familiars are combined into magically a magically animate staff the reflects their truer natures. Eda the Owl Lady’s staff is carved from the bough of an ancient tree and worked into the shape of a perching owl. This owl can detach and become a sassy owl familiar named Owlbert.

This system, while being silly, is also perfect for any rpg. I love mages with staves and familiars and players love unique loot. Let them start their character with a magical focus that doubles as a familiar and ensures that you never have to deal with the question of what happens to the animal companions when the players are doing crazy things like underwater diving or swashbuckling spelljammers in space. Plus it makes them want to protect their magical focus and invest time in improving it instead of just replacing it. And if they just replace it, the forgotten familiar can become a wronged ex out for revenge.

Expect 5 more days of fan art. The rest of this set is all staves from the Owl House, so be aware I’m going to be pushing everyone to go watch it all week.

COVID hasn’t gone away, and we need to work together to limit the spread.
Wear a mask, be excellent to everyone.
