Githyanki Silver Sword

A silver sword in motion is a liquid thing, as much a weapon of the mind as a piece of metal in the hand.
— Mordenkainen
  The first silver swords were created eons ago, when the gith were still a single race, by those who would become the first githyanki knights. A silver sword, which functions as a +3 greatsword, is a conduit through which its wielder can assail a foe both physically and psychically. The weapon is particularly effective on the Astral Plane against any travelers who are connected to their physical bodies by a silver cord—a strike against such an enemy has a chance of severing the silver cord, causing instant death.   Knights and their silver swords are inseparable, and a knight will fight to the death to prevent the loss of its weapon. If a silver sword falls into the possession of someone other than a githyanki, Vlaakith sends a squad of knights out from Tu’narath to destroy the malefactor and recover the weapon.  

Githyanki Silver Sword

Weapon Magical, Heavy, Two-Handed Legendary (this item requires attunement) [psionic ability]

This magic weapon grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While you hold the sword, you have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws, you are immune to being charmed, and you have resistance to psychic damage. In addition, if you score a critical hit with it against a creature’s astral body, you can cut the silvery cord that tethers the target to its material body, instead of dealing damage.
