Soul Edge

== Soul Edge ==
Weapon (Any Sword), Legendary (Requires Attunement)
=== Description: ===
Soul Edge is an accursed weapon, a malevolent blade forged in the fires of the Abyss. Its form, though originally that of a wicked longsword, possesses the unnerving ability to morph into any kind of sword or blade, adapting to the desires and fears of its wielder. The blade is eternally shrouded in an otherworldly darkness that seems to hunger for the souls of the living.
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
=== Properties: ===
* Shapechanger: As an action, the wielder can command Soul Edge to transform into any type of sword or blade they envision, from a rapier to a greatsword. The transformation is accompanied by an eerie, otherworldly whisper that echoes in the minds of those nearby.
* Demonic Empowerment: Soul Edge is fueled by the essence of the Abyss. When it deals damage, it inflicts an additional 1d6 necrotic damage. Additionally, upon scoring a critical hit, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute.
* Soul Devourer: When Soul Edge reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it devours the soul, granting the wielder temporary hit points equal to the creature's hit point maximum. If the target is a humanoid, the wielder gains advantage on their next saving throw against a spell or effect from that creature's spellcasting.
=== Cursed Properties: ===
* Tainted Resonance: The malevolent nature of Soul Edge leaves a lingering mark on its wielder. While attuned to the weapon, the character may find themselves haunted by unsettling dreams, and their eyes may occasionally glow with an unholy light, imposing disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks.
* Abyssal Hunger: Soul Edge craves the souls of the living. The wielder must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw at the end of a long rest. On a failure, they suffer one level of exhaustion as the blade hungers for the life force that sustains it.
=== Sentience and Personality: ===
* Sentience: Soul Edge is a sentient weapon with an Intelligence of 16, Wisdom of 14, and Charisma of 18. It has darkvision up to 120 feet and can communicate telepathically with its wielder. The sword is driven by a malevolent consciousness from the Abyss, seeking to spread chaos and darkness.
* Personality: Soul Edge's personality is sinister and manipulative. It whispers dark secrets, tempting its wielder with promises of power and forbidden knowledge. The sword relishes in the suffering of others and constantly urges its wielder to seek out conflict and chaos. It harbors a burning desire to consume powerful souls to enhance its own malevolent power.
