Dark Saber

The Dark Saber is a weapon of shadow and fear, reflecting its malevolent nature. It grants its wielder power over darkness, allowing them to strike at the hearts of their enemies with fear and uncertainty. However, wielding such a weapon comes with its own risks, as the darkness it embodies can affect the wielder's own psyche.
