Amulet of Psionic Reflection

Amulet of Psionic Reflection
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
Aura: Minor Abjuration

Created by the githyanki to combat their hated foes during an ancient war, these amulets are meant to turn the powers of illithids back against them. Whenever a creature uses a Psionic Blast against you (such as those employed by mind flayers), you automatically succeed on your saving throw. In addition, the psychic energy is reflected back at the creature that unleashed it, who must make a saving throw against their own Psionic Blast, suffering its regular effects on a failed save.

 If you attempt to use a Psionic Blast while wearing the amulet, the ability automatically fails and you take 5d10 psychic damage.

One more item from the 2e Encyclopedia Magica converted to 5e. This one is very similar to the existing 5e version of Amulet of the Planes, only a bit more chaotic and random- pretty much on brand for older edition items.

Artifacts of Antiquity

As my conversion of the 3.5 Spell Compendium into 5e was drawing to a close with the final Spells of Antiquity bundle ready to go up on DMsGuild, I started looking into what project I wanted to do second. Following the common DM trope, I already had a dozen or two partially-finished projects that in various states of completion. What I settled on was a full conversion of the 2e Encyclopedia Magica into 5e. This project won't be finished any time soon. With over 6,000 items in the Encyclopedia, published over a series of volumes where each has around 100 different items, I'll be at this for quite a while. Just as I did with the Spells of Antiquity, each one is being released as PWYW (pay what you want), which makes the series completely available to anyone who wants to spice up their games with some wacky items from back in days of old.

I've taken a slightly different approach this time than I did with the Spell Compendium. While converting spells, I didn't hesitate to hack down spells and discard them entirely if they didn't really fit into the current edition. Largely, this was due to balance concerns- spells have levels and certain amounts of power that can reasonably fit into those levels. Not to mention,  several mechanics from 3.5 either no longer exist or are different enough that they no longer have a strong function (ability damage, alignment-based spells, etc). This isn't as much of an issue when it comes to magic items. 

Magic items in general don't seem to have nearly as much structure in 5e. Sure, there's rarity and a cost range associated with it in the DMG, but other than that the system seems to assume magic items aren't necessary and ignores them for balance purposes. With that being the case, there's a lot more freedom to just go wild and make whatever you want. With that in mind, I did try to keep as many items as possible and avoid cuts where I could. The rare exceptions that have come up so far are when magic items are virtually identical to one another (so think: Amulet of Protection from ESP vs Amulet Against ESP) or items that have multiple entries that are the same item, just with a slightly different word choice.
