A semi-regular column: new magic items! Let’s see how long I can sustain the enthusiasm for this lol!

Tinderbox of Emberwilde

Wondrous Item (rare), requires attunement

The Tinderbox of the Emberwilde is a small and beautifully crafted iron box, inlaid with multicolored gemstones that glow faintly when its power is activated. 

When an attuned user uses the Tinderbox to light a fire, they can do so as a BONUS action. The flames produced are magical, provide bright light in a 20 ft. radius and dim light for an additional 20 ft. These flames can only be extinguished via dispel magic, the attuned user using a BONUS action to deactivate them, or until they expire in 8 hours.

Once per long rest, when the attuned user lights a campfire using the Tinderbox, their party gains the benefits of a short rest, as long as it is lit for at least one minute.

Once per long rest, the Tinderbox can be activated with an ACTION  to create a protective circle of fire around the user. The circle lasts for 1 minute, provides half cover, and anyone attempting to move through it takes 7 (2d6) fire damage (DC 15 DEX save for half damage).
