A '''''circlet of blasting''''' was a delicate<ref name="bg3">{{Cite game/Baldur's Gate III}}</ref> [[magic item|magical]] [[circlet]] that had the power to sear and burn a number of targets.<ref name="DMG5e-p158" /><ref name="DMG3e-p252" />

==Powers==
The wearer of a ''circlet of blasting'' could use its power to cast the ''[[scorching ray]]'' [[spell]], once per day. The circlet regained its power at the following dawn.<ref name="DMG5e-p158" /> Pre-[[Spellplague]] versions unleashed the ''[[searing light]]'' spell instead.<ref name="DMG3e-p252" />

==History==
A weaker variation of these items, ''minor circlets of blasting'', were recovered from agents of the [[Zhentarim]] sometime shortly before the {{YearlinkName|1374}}. These circlets were taken from the [[Bedine]] nomads of the [[Anauroch]], suggesting that the items' true origins were the ancient [[Netherese]] empire.<ref name="soz">{{Cite game/Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir}}</ref>

==Notable Owners==
* [[Blurg]]: A [[bugbear]] member of the [[Society of Brilliance]] who resided in a peaceful [[myconid]] colony in the [[Underdark]] ''circa'' [[1492 DR]].<ref name="bg3"/>
* [[Raggadragga]]: The [[wereboar]] warlord of the [[Goreguts Gang]] wore a ''circlet of blasting''.<ref name="BGDA5e-p87">{{Cite book/Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus|87}}</ref>
