Sword of the Orc-sworn Stormfather

This greatsword is instilled with energy that gives off a faint glow that crackles with magic. The blade is wondrously shaped in the fashion of Orcish Steel but appears to be made of indestructible glass.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The Orcish blade stirs in the presence of the elements. The blade has a mysterious ability to absorb the power of the elementals to change its properties and enhance its dormant power.

• While the blade is exposed to elementals or a concentration of magic ,the wielder can use an action to change the elemental power stored in the blade changing its elemental attunement.
• Whenever you roll a 20 on your attack roll with this weapon, each creature of your choice within 5 feet of the target takes 5 damage of the type of the weapon's elemental attunement.

Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d6 damage of the weapon's current elemental attunement on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Once this action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

History

It is believed that this was once wielded by a warrior who forged a unique alliance with the Tempest to sunder those who would enact tyranny. Legend says that the power of the Tempest’s blessing turned a once common sword into a work of beauty. The power that exists now within the blade is a small fragment of what once existed. However, in recent years the blade has stirred during each thunderstorm as if being called to prepare.
