A giant witch hat is a larger-than-usual version of a traditional witch's hat. In popular culture, witches are often depicted wearing a pointed hat as part of their iconic look. The giant witch hat takes this concept to another level by exaggerating its size for dramatic effect. These oversized hats are commonly seen during Halloween festivities and other costume parties. They can be made from various materials such as fabric, felt, or even foam. The hat typically features a cone-shaped structure with a wide brim and a pointed top.

The Lensman was rocked to the heels, but did not show it. Instead, he took the captain’s pen – his own, as far as Willoughby was concerned, could have been filled with vanishing ink – and wrote George Olmstead’s name in George Olmstead’s bold, flowing script.
-E. E. Smith, First Lensman

In 1950, when Doc Smith wrote the sci-fi novel First Lensman, disappearing ink was still reasonably hi-tech: it had been a major espionage tool as recently as World War II. Now it seems a little quaint and dated, which means it’s time for it to make the transition from SF to fantasy.

Not only is disappearing ink a good trick for a RPG character’s reportoire, ink itself seems like a fruitful avenue for new magic items, untapped by the standard D&D magic-item list.

Here are some ink bottles that might be available at the local apothecary. Each ink bottle can be used to write a dozen pages.

Disappearing ink: Twelve hours after you write with it, the writing disappears. Great for messages that must not fall into the wrong hands, and signing contracts that you don’t want to keep. It’s entirely alchemical so it doesn’t radiate magic.

Burning ink: Twelve hours after you write with it, the ink catches fire, burning the paper it’s on, along with anything flammable nearby, unless it’s caught. Even better for signing contracts you don’t want to keep. It radiates faint magic: a suspicious notary/wizard using Detect Magic will have to make an Intelligence Check to notice it.

Exploding ink: As soon as the ink is dry, any writing turns into Explosive Runes. Great for wizards on the go. The ink and the runes radiate strong magic.

Courtier’s ink: As you write, the words re-form behind your pen into elegant phrases and flowery compliments. Your handwriting is also slightly improved. Grants your letter a +3 to Charisma checks to anyone who is impressed by well-expressed sentiments. This is widely used at courts, and too expensive for the starving poets who covet it so very, very much.

Sewer Ink: The reverse of Courtier’s Ink turns any writing into a collection of shocking profanity, ill-turned phrases and deadly insults. It applies a -6 to Charisma checks. Unlike Courtier’s Ink, the writing does not re-form for twelve hours, and your handwriting is not altered. This ink is most often used for practical jokes and venomous plots.

Poison Ink: This oldie but goodie causes pages to slightly cling together so that readers must moisten their fingers to turn the pages. It’s also a deadly poison: twelve hours after a careless reader ingests the ink, he or she must make a saving throw or take 3d6 damage and be helpless for the next twelve hours. This saving throw is repeated every 12 hours until a successful save is made.

Characters may make a hard Wisdom or Intelligence check, or an easy History, Pulp Literature, Rare Poisons, Dastardly Plans, or other appropriate skill check to realize that the pages are poisoned.

Poison ink can also be used as a normal poison, on weapons or in food.

Are the "fine inks" a wizard needs to copy a spell the same as the "rare inks" a warlock needs to copy a ritual?

The Book of Ancient Secrets Eldritch Invocation says that a Warlock can add ritual spells to his book of Shadows, and that this requires 50 gp worth of rare inks per spell level. A wizard can copy additional spells to her spellbook which costs 50 gp per spell level which represents "the material components you expended as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as fine inks you need to record it." Is there any indication as to whether these inks are the same? (If the Warlock runs out of ink, can the Wizard share some of hers, and would that work?)

\$\begingroup\$ Is there any evidence that the inks used for two different spells are the same inks even? Let alone, two different classes. \$\endgroup\$

The hat typically features a cone-shaped structure with a wide brim and a pointed top. A giant witch hat is not only a fun accessory but also a key element in creating a spooky or whimsical witch ensemble. It can complete a witch costume by adding an extra element of height and grandeur.

The published rules don't go into this level of detail. As far as I see it there are two basic ways to rule this.

Additionally, it helps to emphasize the mystical and fantastical nature traditionally associated with witches. Beyond its role as a costume accessory, a giant witch hat can also serve as a decorative item. It can be a great addition to Halloween decorations, haunted houses, or even as a centerpiece for themed parties. The hat's large size and distinctive shape make it eye-catching and instantly recognizable. In conclusion, a giant witch hat is a larger version of the classic witch's hat. Whether worn as part of a costume or used as a decorative item, it adds a touch of magic and enchantment to any occasion..

Reviews for "The Giant Witch Hat: A Bold Accessory for Every Occasion"

1. Samantha - 2 stars

I was really disappointed with the Giant Witch Hat. First of all, the quality of the material was very poor. It felt flimsy and cheap, and I could tell right away that it wouldn't hold up well. Additionally, the hat was much smaller than I expected, despite being called "giant." It barely fit on my head, and certainly didn't have the dramatic effect I was going for. Overall, I regret purchasing this product and wouldn't recommend it.

2. John - 1 star

The Giant Witch Hat was a complete waste of money. It arrived damaged, with several noticeable tears and frayed edges. The craftsmanship was clearly lacking, and I was upset that I had spent money on such a low-quality product. Furthermore, the hat didn't sit properly on my head and kept slipping off throughout the night. It was very frustrating and made it impossible to enjoy wearing it. I highly advise against buying this hat if you're looking for a well-made and comfortable accessory.

3. Emily - 3 stars

I have mixed feelings about the Giant Witch Hat. While it did have a unique and striking design, the overall structure of the hat was not great. It felt too heavy on my head and caused discomfort after wearing it for a short amount of time. The color was also slightly different from what was shown in the product photos, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, while the hat had potential, it didn't meet my expectations in terms of comfort and accuracy.
