Rivet's Workshop Prototypes
Experimental magical items seeking approval and refinement
Introduction
This workshop catalog documents magical items still in the conceptual or prototype stage. Each entry represents a potential innovation that Rivet is seeking feedback on, materials for, or approval to develop. These items exist primarily as sketches, theoretical models, or early prototypes not yet ready for practical application.
Fellow Zululu members and esteemed Dungeon Master: Your feedback is essential to refining these concepts! Comments, suggestions, and balance considerations are welcomed and encouraged.

Prototype Details
Rivet's Astral Wraps
Intended Rarity: Rare
Attunement: (requires attunement by a Monk)
Development Phase: Theoretical
Materials Needed:
- TBD
Concept Description
These hand and wrist wraps are crafted from pale-blue astral silk, banded with micro-filament threading and inlaid sigils that flicker with Rivet's signature arc light circuitry. They're laced at the seams with crimson trim, a nod to Gio's monastic roots with the Order of St. Denier, while the shimmering body pulses like a still lake under moonlight.
When worn, the wraps ripple faintly with every movement faint streaks of glowing blue trailing behind punches, blocks, and sidesteps like echoes of intent. They hum with barely contained energy, not loud but present, like breath before a strike. These are no common relics. They are tools of discipline, deception, and divine rebellion, engineered in silence and starlight.
Proposed Features
Astral Impact
Your unarmed strikes deal force damage instead of their normal type.
Ki Blink
When you use Step of the Wind or Flurry of Blows, you may move through a creature's space as though it were difficult terrain.
- You must end your movement in an unoccupied space.
- You do not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature during this movement.
Afterimage Drift
When you activate Patient Defense, you gain a +1 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn.
Additionally, you may immediately move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. This movement does not count against your movement for the turn.
Astral Convergence (1/day)
As a bonus action, you may cast Mirror Image on yourself.
- No components are required.
- This version does not require concentration.
- The illusory duplicates mimic your erratic monk style, trailing constellations as they shift and shimmer in astral sync with your movements.
"Unarmed doesn't mean unprepared." - Rivet
Development Process
Each prototype follows this development path:
- Conceptual Phase - Initial idea and sketch
- Material Gathering - Collection of necessary components
- DM Approval - Review of mechanics and balance
- Prototype Construction - Initial creation and testing
- Refinement - Adjustment based on testing results
- Final Development - Completion of the magical item
Items move from this prototyping catalog to the main Arcane Atelier catalog once fully developed and functional.
