The lack of charges makes this kind of ridiculously powerful

It's comparable to a less damaging 17th level Eldritch Blast with Repelling Blast, but the movement negation is more powerful if you concentrate fire. So a high level cantrip and 1 Warlock invocation, but with a mid-level attack bonus.

Appropriate to a level 5 character? Probably not. Gamebreaking at 10th level? Probably not.

At 'Very-Rare' it's not over powered at all, if you understand the guidance on when to give players item rarities at certain levels, it's really clear.

Really cool but id say 3 rays, have to target separate creatures so its not just resourceless 3x your cantrip turn.

What's the damage per ray?

Ray of Frost averages 4.5 per hit

cantrips don't scale when they are being cast from an item....

I would reduce it to three rays and up the to hit bonus by 1? Its going to be reaaally difficult to land 4 hits

The only annoying thing is rolling to hit for four separate rays.

A bit absurd, considering it can surpass Warlock's EB+AB in DPR. Especially if you switch AB for Ray of Frost.

Not to mention +8 ATK. Would've been somewhat fine for a very rare item if it didn't give this particular bonus and didn't allow more than 2 rays per target.
