Spellblade
Spellblade is a broken broadsword formed when a magic missile shattered a mithral blade in the colosseum. It is a one-handed hilt made from adamatine wrapped in leather made from the skin of a blue dragon, with a sharp winged shaped guard with "Spellblade" written in draconic on it, and a fraction of an adamantine blade, now broken to be smaller than a dagger.
Spellblade can absorb any spells that touch where its blade used to be, or that are channeled through it. As a bonus action, the holder may expend a spell slot to channel a new blade into spellblade, granting it a see-through blade that finishes the length of a broadsword. Using higher level spell slots increases the strength of Spellblade. This blade remains until a short rest or until the holder dispels it with a bonus action. While Spellblade does not have a blade, the holder may use a reaction to reduce their AC by 5+Dex Mod (Minimum 0), and attempt to block one attack this turn with the blade. If this is used against a spell, Spellblade absorbs the spell, gaining a blade mimicking the spell it absorbed, dealing its damage type, using the same level it was cast at for its blade form, and the holder may expend the blade in order to cast that spell as an action.

Spellblade is greedy and secretive, wanting all magical knowledge to themselves like a starved lich and unwilling to share them like a caught assassin. While Spellblade enjoys being used, it doesn't allow those it doesn't see as "worthy" to pull it from its stone, instead deciding to shove them away using the spell repel. In order to be seen as worthy, Spellblade must simply like the holder, and interigates them when they touch its hilt in attempt to find out if it does or not.

Question #1: Do you believe you are worthy to wield me? Spellblade dislikes confidence, and will only continue if the answer is unsure or "no".
Question #2: What is the worth of a single life? Spellblade doesn't like unnecessary killing, but also dislikes unnecessary heroics. The correct answer is either showing a will to kill for something, or not caring if their opponents die.
Question #3: What do you plan to use me for? If the answer is unsure, Spellblade will repel the creature. Spellblade wants to be used consistently, and doesn't like the idea of being used as a "beat stick".
