Common Magic Items - Expanded

As per Xanathar's Guide to Everything:

"The Dungeon Master’s Guide includes many magic items of every rarity. The one exception are common items; that book includes few of them. This section introduces more of them to the game. These items seldom increase a character’s power, but they are likely to amuse players and provide fun roleplaying opportunities."

These common magic items are to be added in the same category as those mentioned above - easily accessible and commonplace, used more for everyday purposes or for storytelling or character depth.

The magic items are presented in alphabetical order.

This weapon has flowing runes of wind and clouds along its handle. While wielding the weapon, you may use an attack action and swing against the air to increase or decrease local windspeed by 1 mph for every point of damage it would have dealt.
