Frostreaver (Magic Axe)

A frostreaver is a heavy battle axe made of ice gathered from a secret location on Icewall Glacier. The ice at the glacier is unusually dense, the result of tremendous pressure exerted for centuries. The knowledge needed to create a frostreaver is known only to the Revered Priests of the Ice Folk, the barbarian tribes that struggle for control of Icewall Glacier. The blades are formed by using the oil from slain thanoi and other ingredients in a mystical process that hones and flattens the sheet of ice. The priest must work for an entire month to create the weapon, and even then, there is only a 33% chance that the weapon is satisfactory.
A frostreaver functions as a battle axe +4. Because of the weight and size of the weapon, the wielder must have a Strength of 13 or greater to wield it. The weakness of the weapon is its material. Temperatures above freezing cause the ice to melt-one full day of above freezing causes a frostreaver to become useless as a weapon. In a warm (50°+) environment, the axe becomes worthless in 1d6 hours.
