Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ascendice balanced?
Yes. We created a new resin pouring technique along with a 4 part mould which allows us to suspend a spherical Neodymium Core in the dead centre of each Ascendice to ensure perfect balance.
Why is Ascendice so expensive?!
At The Shop of Many Things, we are dedicated to crafting truly exceptional and unique products for your gaming table. Ascendice is no exception—it’s designed to bring a touch of magic to your games, and achieving that level of innovation comes with a cost.
Ascendice is built around advanced magnetic levitation technology. At its core, it uses a powerful N52 Neodymium magnet, one of the strongest commercially available, which is crucial for maintaining stable levitation. This core is encased in a durable plastic shell, backfilled with resin to complete the icosahedron shape, ensuring the die not only floats but remains perfectly stable during display or gameplay.
The base, which allows Ascendice to float, is where the true magic happens. It contains a large ceramic ring magnet that enhances stability, along with four magnetic field sensors that constantly monitor and adjust the power of four electromagnets. These sensors and electromagnets communicate and modulate their power hundreds of times per second to ensure your D20 floats seamlessly. This precision requires over 100 individual electronic components working in perfect harmony.
The intricate engineering and high-end materials that go into Ascendice, from the specialized magnets to the sensitive electronics, are what make it an expensive piece. It’s not just a die—it’s a marvel of technology designed to elevate your gaming experience in more ways than one.
How does Ascendice work?
Witchcraft!
...and a complex array of both permanent and electromagnets programmed by some technological wizards, suspend the die at a precise position, levitating the d20 effortlessly above the base.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, worldwide shipping is available!
Why would anyone want floating dice?
I'm sorry, I don't understand the question...
Balanced To Be Rolled
Every Ascendice™ contains a powerful Neodymium Core which we set in the dead centre of the D20 using our unique resin system.
This means your Ascendice™️ is guaranteed to be perfectly balanced.

Oversized D20
Ascendice™️ is 5x the size and 8x the weight of a normal D20.
We want every roll made with Ascendice™️ to be ultimately impactful and a small D20 would not cut it.

The Kickstarter
In October 2022, we launched a Kickstarter campaign for AscendiceTM which recieved an overwhelming response.
During the campaign we raised nearly $130,000 from over 500 D&D fans.
We're proud to have them put their trust in us and thrilled they love their Ascendice™️.
Latest
UPDATED: 19TH APRIL '23
We're currently in the production phase. We're finalising moulds, creating production tests and smoothing out any issues which arise.
We're working towards fulfilment in Autumn 2023.

January 2023 Update
Hi guys, we have some exciting updates!
Firstly, the surveys have been sent.
Check your junk, make sure you find it and fill it in. If you can't find it, get in touch and we'll get that sorted. If there is something you don't understand or the survey is missing something you expected, just let us know and we'll get that sorted too.
Dragon Eye Ascendice Prototypes
We have some new prototypes for the Dragon Eye Ascendice!
These are a little behind in the process compared to the Voidheart and Bloodlust Ascendice but we're thrilled at how these look so far.
We'll be proceeding onto PPS (pre-production samples) for these immediately. continue reading...
November 2022 Update
The Ascendice campaign is locked in! We wanted to share some interesting numbers on our little project.
Ascendice has had 526 beautiful backers who have pledged £109,000 / $128,000 of our £15,000 goal, that's 727% funded!
That's about 600 Ascendice Bases and nearly 1200 Ascendice D20s!
If we put all of those D20s end to end they'd measure 43m long or 140ft, but that's a stupid idea so we'll send them to you instead.
We’re super proud of our campaign and our community for having our back 😄
October 2022 Update

August 2022 Update
After months of work and fiddling around with components we have managed to get the bases slightly smaller, we plan to keep at it but we're really happy with the progress at the moment.
We also received more d20 samples in more colours! So in addition to the three mentioned last time, we now have a crimson red, deep purple, and white and gold. All the dice so far look amazing floating above the matte black base.
We've been trying different ink colours as well and decided the 20 and 1 faces look best in gold across all the dice colours.
July 2022 Update
We got our first look at the wood and marble bases! They look pretty cool, but they're waaaay too chunky. We'll need to work on shaving some of the size off them because at the moment it looks like the dice barely floats. But it's a start and we think it will be workable in future.
The first lot of floating dice samples arrived and they're so cool! We currently have threes colours, an emerald green that makes the d20 look like a gemstone, a gold-flecked blue which is mesmerising to watch, and a jet black die inked with gold which we think is a classic look. We have more colours in the works and we're looking forward to revealing them!
May 2022 Update
It’s been a while since our last Ascendice update and we have some juicy new things to share!
With help from our amazing Discord community we decided on a logo design. We had a few different ideas for how the 20 face could look but in the end it was decided we should have a logo on the 20 face and also some highlights around the dreaded 1. We submitted a few options in the server and a winner was chosen, so now when you see anything to do with Ascendice you'll see the logo too.
We’ve got a solid technique for suspending the magnet freely inside resin now, the discard rate is still pretty high, but it's a massive step forward for us. Having the magnet free inside the die means that you can have whichever face on top you want.
March 2022 Update
There’s so much going on with Ascendice at the moment that it’s hard to know where to start, but we wanted to keep you updated anyway.
So we’re currently working on finalising the Ascendice logo and getting sample moulds made for the floating dice. Once we have that we can start testing out materials and properly suspending the magnet in the centre. We really want the dice to be balanced and usable as well as cool looking so the material and the process are important. I’m not sure how much more we can say on that right now, but we’re looking at trying out resin, acrylic, and possibly metal dice as well.
Another thing we’re testing is getting the base a small as possible. We’re working with a few different manufacturers on testing some different configurations for the base electronics in the hopes of making it more compact. We hope this will mean the levitating d20 is made even more of a focal point.
The final thing in the works right now is different base materials. We want Ascendice to look epic, so we’re exploring the possibilities of wood and stone bases.
