The magic of the Deep Ones is not the traditional arcane craft common to the free folk. Many of their devices operate in a way more appropriate to some twisted mockery of living creatures. The horror involved in their craft is unknown and likely better kept that way.
Staff of the Shoggoth
This device appears to be a heavy stalk of nearly straight coral topped by a spongy pentad of eyestalks ringing a pulsing mouth. The whole thing drips with an unpleasant smelling orange tinted water.
When invoked, the staff makes an angry buzzing sound. The noise briefly rips a hole through which manifests the chaos of the Far Realm. Roll 3d8 and add the wielder's WIS bonus, then SUBTRACT the number of times it has been used today and consult the following table.

Godentag Physalia
Initially this weapon can appear to be nothing more than a metal rod some four feet long. In dim light or darkness the head sheds faint blue luminescence showing a bulbous, transparent jellyfish-like mass and See Invisible or Ethereal sight shows swirling red-purple tendrils.
On a successful hit, the target is struck by 1d4 phantom tentacles, each doing 1d8 psychic damage and leaving excruciating red welts. Additionally the target is grappled until they can make a DC 15 WIS save. Any time they fail to save they take additional 2d12 psychic damage (no to-hit roll required). The tentacles will release if the attacker and defender are ever more than 10' apart.
