Fey Flowers (Promptober 2025 #29)

Foxglove in the wild.

Foxglove's purple, bell-shaped flowers remind people of tiny hats worn by fey creatures. Some think they denote where fairies have rested, doffing their hats and flying off in the morning without them. Wizards have taken this folklore to heart and enchanted foxglove flowers to step between the worlds for a moment.

Fey Flower

Wondrous Item, uncommon

Commonly found in groups of 2-12 in a cloth pouch, these still-fresh purple flowers prove surprisingly resistant to jostling. When held between a finger and thumb and snapped as a bonus action, they briefly tear the fabric of reality into the Fey Realm, allowing the snapper to misty step to a location they can see within 30 feet. The flower explodes in a puff of purple mist when used.

Some rare fey flowers allow dimension door when used. These rare items have a golden color instead of purple. Even rarer platinum fey flowers act as either teleport or plane shift (to the Fey Realm only) spells.

In many cases, platinum fey flowers will transport the user directly to one of the fey courts in front of a powerful fey lord or princeling, to extract a service from the unlucky user in exchange for returning them to their home plane (eventually). The fey lord remotely subverts the regular enchantment process to add a pre-selected destination to the fey flower. The metallic coloration happens well after the enchantment process.

Part of the Promptober project for 2025.
I'll also use this as an item in Fellport, so it's listed in the Fellport Almanac as well.
