D&D 5E Let's update magical items to 5e!

This is more for fun then anything else.

We all have that one item we really liked so much we decided to update it.

Here's mine, let's see yours:

The Wand of the Squid from U3: The Final Enemy

Wand of the Squid

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Carved from deep-sea coral and adorned with tiny suction cups, this wand pulses with eerie energy. The Wand of the Squid has 7 charges and regains 1d6+1 charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into dust and is destroyed.

Tentacle Strike.

As an action, you can expend 1 charge to summon an inky-black tentacle from the wand. The tentacle lashes out at a creature within 30 feet. Make a melee spell attack using your spellcasting ability. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage and is grappled (escape DC 15). The grapple lasts for 1 minute or until the tentacle is dismissed as a bonus action. While grappled, the target is restrained, and you cannot use the wand to attack another creature.

Ink Cloud.

As an action, you can expend 2 charges to release a 20-foot-radius sphere of dark ink centered on yourself. The ink spreads around corners and heavily obscures the area for 1 minute or until a strong current disperses it. Creatures with blindsight or tremorsense can see through the ink normally.

Squid’s Embrace.

As an action, you can expend 3 charges to summon three spectral tentacles that lash out at creatures within a 10-foot radius of a point you choose within 30 feet. Each creature in the area must make a Strength saving throw (DC 15) or be grappled by a tentacle (escape DC 15). Grappled creatures take 2d6 bludgeoning damage at the start of their turn until they escape.

Elder Squid’s Wrath.

If you expend all the wand's charges at once, an illusory vision of a massive kraken briefly looms over you, and each creature of your choice within 30 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15) or be frightened for 1 minute.
