Miscellaneous2

A slender ash-and-bronze broom with a spiraled shaft and brass vane-work. Built for agility and short bursts of speed. Faintly hums when close to wind currents.

AC +1+2 to flying speed checks; grants a +2 to Dexterity (vehicle) checks while piloting. Holds one rider. Once per short rest can expend a charge to gain advantage on one Dexterity (Acrobatics or vehicle) check involving aerial maneuvers.

A streamlined composite of ebony, clockwork rings, and a core of bound elemental air. Often seen at high-stakes races. Its trailing wake glitters with static.

AC +2+3 to flying speed checks; grants +1 to AC while flying (rider only). Once per long rest, the rider may activate Overdrive: for 1 minute speed doubles and the broom sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius but takes force damage at the end of the minute as the core cools down.
Miscellaneous1

A near-mythic racing broom fused with a pocket of elemental fire and stabilized with gearwork plating. Radiant filaments run along its shaft. Not for the faint of heart.

AC +3+4 to flying speed checks; grants resistance to fire for the rider. Twice per long rest you can activate Flamewake: for up to 10 minutes, the broom leaves a streak of heat that deals fire damage to creatures who end their turn within 5 feet of its wake (Dex save for half). If ridden recklessly, the broom risks catastrophic core failure (10% chance per long rest of exploding, dealing fire to rider and destroying broom).
Miscellaneous2

Brass-rimmed goggles with crystal lenses etched in concentric spirals. Helps pilots read currents and microturbulence.

While worn, grants a bonus to checks to detect or interpret wind currents, gusts, and aerial hazards. Grants advantage on Perception checks based on visual wind patterns. Once per short rest can cast gust of wind (as the spell) to aid maneuvering.

A leather-and-cog harness that secures rider to broom safely while allowing full range of motion; has quick-release system for emergency drops.

AC +1While strapped in, rider has advantage on saves to avoid being dismounted. Quick release can be triggered to forcibly dismount without damage but loses harness integrity (requires 1 hour to repair).
Miscellaneous1

A sealed brass cylinder that stores kinetic air pressure in a regulated pocket. Used to give brooms a temporary power boost or to refill certain engines.

When applied to a racing broom, grants +30 ft movement for 1 minute (consumes 1 charge). Can power experimental broom attachments. If used improperly there is a 1 in 10 chance of a burst ( force damage to rider).
Miscellaneous1

A compact set of gears, sealant, tiny blowtorch, and precision instruments tuned for racing broom maintenance and minor enchantment adjustments.

Provides advantage on checks to repair or modify racing brooms and their mechanical attachments. Grants a bonus to crafting rolls for broom upgrades when used by someone proficient with Tinkerer's tools.
Miscellaneous1

A basic racing broom: lighter than a house broom and reinforced with metal bands. Cheap, reliable for novice racers.

Standard speed; no magical bonuses. Good for training and early races. Prone to wear — has a 25% chance of minor malfunction in bad weather.
Miscellaneous1

A small brass whistle with a miniature wind vane that emits a clear, far-carrying tone when blown or triggered by a mechanical pull.

Sound carries clearly up to 600 feet and cannot be muffled by nonmagical means. Once per day it can emit a piercing note that imposes disadvantage on concentration checks for creatures racing in a 30-foot cone (save ).
Miscellaneous1

A proprietary sequence of adjustments and calibrations developed by Malvek to tune a broom to a rider's weight and preferred handling.

Service: Malvek (or a trained assistant) adjusts a broom, granting a +1 temporary handling bonus to all aerial checks for 1 week. Scroll: a recorded protocol that can be applied by an artificer or tinkerer to reproduce the tuning; grants +1 handling bonus and reduces chance of malfunction by 10% for 1 month.
Miscellaneous1

A compact rig that deploys a reinforced silk canopy when the wearer falls more than 30 feet.

If the wearer falls and would take falling damage, the rig deploys and reduces falling damage by half (automatic). Single-use; repacked and inspected by Malvek for 50 gp.
Miscellaneous1

A viscous solution used to polish and protect the glass and crystal components of instruments and wind-gauges.

Applying a bottle to instruments prevents malfunction from rain or salt spray for 7 days. May be used to give a +2 temporary advantage on checks to read instruments in bad weather.
Miscellaneous1

A set of carefully drawn plans enabling the construction of auxiliary micro-sails and aerodynamic vanes for improved maneuvering.

If followed by a qualified craftsman over 72 hours with 150 gp worth of materials, yields attachments that grant +1 handling and reduce wind-based disadvantage once per day.

Shop Atmosphere

“Malvek insists customers leave a cog as a deposit for test flights and whistfully speaks to brooms as if they were stubborn horses. He charges more on cloudy days, offers free tea and a showman's sales pitch describing each broom's 'temperament', and refuses to sell the Molten Comet to anyone who cannot provide a letter of good standing from two recognized racing guilds.”
