Description
A huge red ruby is set into the pommel of this intricately filigreed golden longsword. The jewel shimmers and shines as the blade speaks in a voice that resonates with a deep and distant baritone. Without this illusion, a twisted demonic form is revealed: the blade is composed of a single sharpened tooth, what appears to be the hilt is instead a grotesque sucker-like mouth, and the ruby pommel is a figment covering a single great crimson eye that stares with fiendish intelligence.
You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic longsword. An intense burning heat radiates from the blade and it deals an extra 3d6 fire damage on a successful hit.
_**Attached Properties.**_ While attached to _Skrivena Moc,_ you gain resistance to fire, proficiency with longswords, and after taking the Attack action on your turn you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack using it. However, the weapon forms a permanent bond with its wielder and cannot be put down or removed once wielded.
_**Corruption.**_ At the end of each week that _Skrivena Moc_ is attached to you, your Charisma score is decreased by 1d4\. When you have lost 6 or more Charisma in this way, raised black veins radiate out from the point of _Skrivena Moc’s_ attachment. This Charisma loss cannot be healed until _Skrivena Moc_ is no longer attached to you, at which point you recover 1 Charisma at the end of each long rest.
_**Fiend Transformed.**_ This elegantly crafted longsword of filigreed gold whispers promises of greater treasures to come—yet those who wield it are doomed. In truth it is an imprisoned _balor_ reduced in power by potent enchantments, the elegant blade only an illusion. Any that dare grasp the infernal hilt know not their peril, unaware they are actually plunging their hand into a fiendish maw.
_**Sentience.** Skrivena Moc_ is a sentient construct with Intelligence 20, Wisdom 16, and Charisma 22\. It has hearing and truesight to a range of 120 feet. The longsword communicates with you telepathically and can speak and understand Abyssal, Common, and up to 3 other languages of the Narrator’s choice.
