Bloodwell Vial

The Bloodwell Vial is the Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything sorcerer-attuned wondrous item that, while attuned, lets the sorcerer regain a sorcery point on cast and offers other sorcerer-specific features (focus for sorcerer spells, +1 spell attack and save DC at higher rarity tiers). Caelumn received it at the s10/s11 level-up bestowal. He has used it in two confirmed instances: the s9-retrospective draconic-ancestor reroll on a Wisdom save vs the Succubus’s Dominate Person, and the s15 short rest where he restored sorcery points fully. CONFLICT FLAG: the s16 callback list ^[4] lumps “Caelumn’s potions” into his lost s15 backpack without explicitly naming the vial; the Magic Items Index and the campaign bible both treat the vial as still on Caelumn at end of s16. This article follows the bible’s reading; Chris to confirm.

Overview

Standard Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Bloodwell Vial, sorcerer-only attunement: while attuned and held, it serves as a spellcasting focus for sorcerer spells, regenerates a sorcery point on cast under specified conditions, and at higher rarity tiers (uncommon/rare/very rare/legendary) increases spell attack bonus and save DC. The campaign instance has been treated as the rare tier across transcript references.

Confirmed use

• s9 retroactive — Dominate Person save: Caelumn used the vial’s draconic-ancestor reroll mechanic to succeed his Wisdom save against the Succubus’s Dominate Person (saving him from sharing Hugo and Terry’s charmed status that fight).
• s15 short rest: spent the day’s recharge to fully restore sorcery points before the kobold-rescue clearing.

Conflict flag

The Bloodwell Vial’s location at end of s16 is the campaign’s most active inventory ambiguity:

• The campaign bible’s party-at-end-of-s16 ledger lists the vial as still on Caelumn.
• The ^[4] callback list of items lost in the s15 backpack lumps “Caelumn’s potions” together without naming the vial; the bible’s reading is that the vial was on Caelumn’s belt (kept) rather than in the backpack (lost).
• The Magic Items Index notes the conflict explicitly and recommends Chris confirm.

This article follows the bible’s reading: carried, attuned.
