Necklace of Elemental Augmentation

Necklace of Elemental Augmentation is an uncommon Amulet. When the wearer inflicts elemental damage with a cantrip, it adds their Spellcasting Modifier to the damage.

The tourmaline in this necklace is almost uncomfortably hot, warmed by a heat all its own.

Notes

Regarding Elemental Augmentation:

• Elemental Augmentation functions by checking the cantrip itself for specific DamageType flags (such as ⁠Fire or ⁠Lightning) rather than monitoring the actual damage type produced when the cantrip's casting hits a target. While this might suggest a way to 'trick' the  Necklace of Elemental Augmentation into working with other spells, the game engine does not consider 'added' damage – such as the bonus from  Lightning Charges – to be an inherent part of the cantrip itself. Because these external bonuses lack the necessary flags, they do not trigger the necklace's effect. Consequently, the Necklace only works with cantrips which are natively elemental (with the exception ⁠Poison, which – as stated in the description – is not augmented), regardless of how many external buffs are applied.
• Elemental Augmentation stacks with the  Elemental Affinity: Damage feature for most Draconic Bloodline Sorcerers (though not those with green dragon ancestry, which use Poison damage). In this case, the Charisma modifier will be added to the damage of the relevant cantrips twice.

• When multiclassing, Elemental Augmentation uses the spellcasting ability modifier of the last class added, not necessarily the spellcasting ability of the class which granted the cantrip.
  • The minimum additional damage is 1, even if the character's spellcasting ability modifier is 0 or negative.
•  Hellflame Cleave deals two instances of damage which both receive the bonus damage from Elemental Augmentation.
