Dwueth'var, the Star Razor

Written by starzomskiwrites

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement)
Dormant State

• While Star Razor is in a dormant state, you can hold this magic longsword and use a bonus action to speak the command word "Galas-var," causing the sword to emit a pale blue glow that sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. This glow lasts until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again, or until you drop or sheathe the sword.
• While this longsword is glowing, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the weapon, and you have resistance to radiant damage.
• You can cast the Faerie Fire spell from the weapon as an action, requiring no components (save DC 13). Once a spell has been cast using Star Razor, that spell can’t be cast from the sword until the next dawn.

Awakened State

• The weapon’s bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +2.
• When a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to create a burst of radiance from the sword, dealing 1d8 radiant damage to the attacker.
• You can cast the See Invisibility spell from the sword as an action, and the save DC for spells cast using the sword increases to 15.

Exalted State

• The weapon’s bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +3.
• The burst of radiance you can create as a reaction when hit with a melee attack deals 1d12 radiant damage, and you can immediately teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you as part of the same reaction.
• You can cast the Fly spell from the sword as an action, and the save DC for spells cast using the sword increases to 17.
