Circlet of Fire

The Circlet of Fire is an uncommon Circlet that grants the wearer a bonus action whenever they deal ⁠Fire damage with a leveled spell.

Properties

•  Helmets
•  Rarity: Uncommon
•  Weight: 0.5 kg (1 lb)
•  Price: 220 gp

Special

The wearer of this item gains:

Fiery Return

When you deal ⁠Fire damage with a levelled spell, you  Burn yourself and gain an additional  Bonus Action this round.

Where to find

• This item is not present in the launch version of the game. Its effects have largely been replicated by the Pyroquickness Hat found in Act Three.
• In Early Access versions of the game the circlet could be found in a gilded chest in the final room of the Apothecary's Cellar beneath the Blighted Village X: -659 Y: -370. The cellar can be accessed through the building directly behind the village's Ancient Rune Circle.

Notes

Regarding Fiery Return:

• The conditions for activating Fiery Return are to deal fire damage with a non-cantrip spell or a melee spell attack roll.
  • Attacks with a  Flame Blade conjured by the druid spell count as melee spell attacks, so they trigger Fiery Return. However, this is not true of a Flame Blade summoned by a mephistopheles tiefling's racial feature or a permanent Flame Blade acquired through the exploit described here.
  • The  Daredevil Gloves can turn ranged spell attacks into melee spell attacks, so cantrips like  Fire Bolt can trigger Fiery Return when paired with the gloves.

Bugs

Regarding Fiery Return:

• If Fiery Return is triggered with a  Bonus Action (for example, with  Metamagic: Quickened Spell), the extra bonus action granted by this passive is wasted and consumed immediately.
•  Hellcrawler, a class action granted by the  Helldusk Boots, triggers Fiery Return, essentially negating the bonus action cost.
•  Searing Smite does not trigger Fiery Return.
