Lore:

Darius's Dice of Destiny was created by Darius the Deft, a bard with a penchant for gambling and games of chance. Darius enjoyed the thrill of the gamble but was often frustrated by the whims of fate. Seeking a way to tilt the odds in his favor, he developed this spell to control the outcome of dice rolls.

While Darius used the spell primarily for harmless entertainment and minor wagers, he was careful to limit its power to prevent it from being used for significant or harmful manipulation. He believed that while fortune could be gently nudged, it should never be forcefully controlled.

The spell became popular in certain circles, especially among those who frequented taverns and gaming houses. Darius's Dice of Destiny is remembered as a testament to Darius's playful nature and his belief in the fine balance between luck, skill, and magic.
