A slender crystal vial, about the size of a finger, is capped with copper filigree. The glass is pale blue and etched along its body with a continuous band of Elder Futhark runes, each rune linked by a thread of gold. The liquid inside shifts from emerald to sapphire as it swirls, and a soft inner glow pulses with each heartbeat. The stopper bears a sigil of life—a stylized heart entwined with a celestial vine—that seems to breathe with the potion's vitality.

Vita Surge When you drink this potion, you regain 60 hit points immediately. If you are poisoned, you are cured of the poisoned condition.

Runic Aegis For 1 hour after drinking, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level (minimum 1). Additionally, you have advantage on Death Saving Throws during that hour.

Lore

The Runic Vitae Elixir was forged by the Moonveil Conclave, a circle of healers who bound a fragment of celestial life into a single vial. Its runes are carved with star-forged copper, and when the liquid breathes, it whispers of renewal and mercy. The elixir is said to bloom in the hands of a true healer, answering the call of desperate lives with a radiant, curative warmth.

History

Only three vials were ever made. The first saved a besieged city by reviving its fallen general at the moment the breach widened; the second vanished into the depths of a dragon-ruled ruin; the third disappeared after a daring heist by a cunning lich who sought immortality through healing rather than destruction. The remaining vial is believed to wander under the protection of a secretive order of clerics who pledge to guard life’s flame wherever it may flee.
