Magical Totems

These are both mob drops and craftable items. The way they would work is when you defeat a boss mob, they always drop a totem. The totems would have different abilities, like health steal, lighting nearby hostiles on fire, shooting streams of water, etc. You could also craft these using one netherite ingot surrounded by eight diamonds. To imbue crafted totems with power you could craft the item with a specific block or item like soul sand for health steal or netherack for fire. The ones dropped by bossess would have powers similiar to the bosses powers.

  Maybe instead of them being able to be crafted, you could find them as loot in structures.
  Being dropped by bosses for specific totems is a good idea. Though instead of crafting it you find a plain totem in structures. Then using this plain totem you put it on an anvil and combine it with an item to specify what type of totem it is.
  Also in order for a totem to be used it should require some experience points.

  Instead of finding ones with abilities already active you could kill an evoker to get a "Totem Base" then combine it with gemstones to get special abilities that go active whenever you complete an action like Leveling up, spreading skulk, dying, or getting a negative potion effect.

  Leveling up effects can give you items or positive potion effects upon use.

  Spreading Skulk can make it so you can't set of shiekers for a set amount of time.

  Dying will just be the totem of undying.

  Receiving a negative potion effect can give you the opposing effect or just cure it.
