Weapons5

Well-balanced steel longsword with a matte-black finish and subtle filigree. Standard military-grade blade.

A longsword rimed with veins of glowing neon glass. Blade hums softly; the glow shifts with the wielder's pulse.

Atk Blade emits a colorful glow; once per short rest while the sword is wielded at night, it deals an extra radiant damage on a hit (the color of the glow determines the radiant hue).

A rare, heavy-bladed longsword whose fuller blooms with a cold neon white. Gothic filigree depicts winged sentinels.

Atk When attuned while exposed to natural moonlight for an uninterrupted hour, the blade grants its wielder +1 to saving throws and causes an additional radiant damage to undead on hit.

A compact repeating crossbow fitted with a coil and neon capacitor; bolts feed from a magazine with glowing tally marks.

Atk Holds 3 charges. Each charge spent adds lightning damage to a successful hit. Regains charges at dawn, or can be recharged with an Arcane Battery.

Three slender daggers with neon-inlaid runes. They sing faintly when spun.

Atk One dagger per short rest can be thrown and instantly return to the thrower's hand.
Armor5

A heavy iron shield reinforced with rivets. Painted with a black-and-neon sigil.

Tempered steel breastplate finished in matte black; cut to allow nimble movement.

Half-plate overlaid with filigreed arc-circuits and gothic spines. The plates are etched with tiny neon runes.

AC +2Circuits dissipate small shocks: once per long rest, you can reroll one failed saving throw (take the second result).

A tall kite shield rimed with protective sigils that pulse in neon when danger approaches.

AC +1Once per long rest, the bearer can cast Shield (as a 1st-level cast) in reaction to being hit, without using a spell slot.

A flowing, hooded cloak whose inner lining is a shifting band of neon. It seems to drink light in dimened alleys.

AC +1Grants +1 to AC and saving throws while worn. While in dim light or darkness, the wearer has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
Miscellaneous9

Black leather boots with neon seams that glow like footfall streaks. Made for those who hunt or flee after sundown.

Wearer gains +10 ft movement speed. While in darkness or dim light, the wearer has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. Once per long rest the wearer can Take the Dash action as a bonus action.

A set of brass-rimmed goggles with lenses that tint to neon hues. They hum softly when worn in total darkness.

Grants darkvision out to 120 feet (if you already have darkvision, it extends its range by 60 feet). Additionally, once per short rest the wearer can peer through 10 ft of magical darkness.

A metal canister with a neon cap. When thrown, it blossoms a thick, vividly colored smoke.

Creates a heavily obscured 10-foot radius cloud for 1 minute. The smoke's bright color grants creatures inside disadvantage on Perception checks to see outside the cloud and can interfere with scrying and divination (DM discretion). If ignited within the cloud, there's a chance of dealing fire to those in it.

A portable capacitor in a smoked-glass cylinder. It ticks faintly with captured arc energy.

Holds up to 3 charges. A charge can be expended to restore 1 charge to a compatible magic item (DM determines compatibility) or to empower a weapon to deal +1 lightning damage for one hit.

A small, sticky square of shimmering membrane. Slips into an armor seam and glows sickly blue.

When applied to a single piece of armor, grants the wearer resistance to necrotic damage for 1 hour (single use).

A compact toolkit filled with tiny neon-tipped instruments, solder, and balancing weights.

Grants a bonus to checks made to repair or modify small magical items or mundane weapons/armor while the kit is used.

A glowing adhesive strip that fuses armor plates with a shimmer of ghostlight.

Temporarily repairs up to 5 HP of armor or grants +1 temporary AC to the patched armor for 24 hours (single use).

Nyx offers bespoke cosmetic and functional modifications to weapons and armor — neon etching, minor rune inlays, balance tuning, and lumen-tints.

Customizations can add cosmetic glow, reduce weight (minor), or prepare slots for later enchantment. Functional enhancements require materials and time (DM discretion).

Secure vaulting, nightly attunement checks, and cold storage for delicate magical arms.

Nyx will maintain and keep items charged (small fee) and may offer to rent an Arcane Battery for an extra 10 gp/day.
Potions2

A vial of viscous, neon-red liquid that glows faintly even in darkness.

Heal 14 HP

A vial of inky liquid that seems to swallow light. Sip and the world blurs at your edges.

Grants invisibility for up to 1 minute. Ends early if the drinker attacks or casts a spell.

Shop Atmosphere

“The Neon Crucible operates only after dusk; the sign flickers to life at the first star. Inside, every lamp and filament glows a saturated neon — cyan, magenta, and sickly amber — and the shop hums with the soft static of arc-machinery. Nyx insists on bargaining with coins first but will listen to trade offers of rare components, leyline shards, or favors owed. Customers are expected to remove any daylight-only trinkets before entry; Nyx dislikes sunlight on the neon glass. A credit: Nyx plays low synthwave while working and will offer free hot tea (black with neon sugar) to those patient enough to let repairs finish overnight.”
