==Sword of Sharpness==
===Description===
[[File:Sword of Sharpness +1.jpg|thumb|Sword of Sharpness +1]]This fine quality long sword has beautiful inlaying on the blade, hilt and guard.  Its enchantments aren't immediately obvious just from looking at it, apart from the fact that it looks brand new - the blade un-nicked with no signs of rust or tarnish anywhere.  The leather and inlaid wire on the hilt are pristine, showing none of the signs of wear that a well used sword might normally evidence.  Even when used, blood and other muck doesn't seem to stick to it.

Sadly the scabbard that it came in was less impressive - looking positively shoddy in comparison, albeit still serviceable.

===Details===
When you attack an ''object'' with this magic sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target.

When you attack a ''creature'' with this weapon and roll a ''natural'' '''20''' on the attack roll, that target takes an extra '''14 slashing damage'''. Then roll another d20. If you roll a 20, you lop off one of the target’s limbs, with the effect of such loss determined by the DM. If the creature has no limb to sever, you lop off a portion of its body instead.  You can roll the d20 again, and if you roll another 20, then you can lop off its head and kill it immediately.  (''Multi-headed creatures excluded'').

In addition, you can speak the sword’s command word (''"'''Glow'''" - in Pacedonian'') to cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the command word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light.

===History===
The party first encountered this sword in the hands of the wight Gothmog Plaguereaper when he attacked them in the cellars below <u>[[Fort Frostfell]]</u>, back in <u>[[Session004|Session 004]]</u>.  The origins of the sword before then are currently unknown, though when a full identification spell was cast upon it, the spell revealed the command word to make it light up was in ''Pacedonian'', so that hinted at the nationality of the person who made in no doubt.  

===Other notes===
Morthos was the first one to pick the sword up - and when she tried to hand it to Cormir, he was shocked by it, taking necrotic damage.  It seems that the sword is aligned in some way and Cormir's naturally good nature was abhorrent to it.

When the detect magic ritual was first used on it, it radiated strong abjuration, transformation and necromantic magical auras.
