Magic item idea

[Tyler Dunn]

I have an interesting idea for a magic item. It is basically a crystal that when used as a spell casting focus, allows spells of a certain energy type to ignore resistances to that energy type and deal more damage. Does that sound like a balanced idea for a magic item, and if so, what rarity do you think it should be?

That is similar to the Elemental Adept feat. Generally speaking, an item that grants the benefits of a feat is usually balanced as a rare item. If the damage is more than 1 per die, I'd make it very rare.

I'd suggest that this item require attunement.
