Blade of Lathander (Magic Sword)

The Blade of Lathander is a magical broad sword of incredible power, forged by a renowned dwarf smith in the fires of the morning sun itself, in the Temple of Lathander at Saerloon. It was created for one purpose: to slay the spirit of Tyranthraxus, master of the Pool of Radiance.
The sword is a broad sword +3 with a blade of smoked ruby quartz, unbreakable in normal combat. On its golden pommel are the symbols of Lathander and Tyranthraxus, the latter crossed out. In normal combat, the sword functions as a broad sword +3. In combat with Tyranthraxus or those he has possessed, the sword will glow a bright pink. When it glows, it is +6 on attack rolls and inflicts 3d10 points of damage. Tyranthraxus must make a saving throw vs. spell (at -6 for the body he inhabits) or be forced to retreat to the Pool of Radiance.
Unlike the gauntlets of Moander and the helm of dragons, the sword has no other special powers. Since its forging, it has never been used against Tyranthraxus, though its existence is said to have kept him in the North during his peak of power. It was stolen from Saerloon and the Temple of Lathander 100 years ago, and has bounced from treasure vault to treasure vault for the past hundred years. Two years ago, it was stolen from the Zhentarim by a halfling. The Black Network recovered the sword and sank the ship the thief was escaping in. The Zhentarim have since put out the rumor that the sword was lost at sea, when in reality it is being kept by Fzoul Chembryl in his tower.
