Dragonbrand

Dragonbrands are brass katanas used during the Great Punitive War. They are golden in color, and are usually embellished with visuals of headless dragons, especially in their blades. Their hilt is encrusted with a single gem of enchanted quartz, right above the hexagonal guard. The pommel is decorated with the hair or plume of a beast, though on original models, it would instead be decorated with the wielder's own hair.
== History ==
The Dragonbrand series was forged by an unknown sect during the late Great Punitive War. These blades were designed to be used in assassination attempts against dragon elites. Carried by the forgotten sect's death-soldiers, the blade, once bared, would fall, as would its wielder. As such, no scabbards were ever designed for these blades, they were simply wrapped in linen until the time they were to be used. Once their wielder died, the blades would then self-destruct. Like most weapons forged during the war against the dragons, the Dragonbrands are forged from gwarven brass. 
There has only been one recorded use of this weapon series. Since then, the sect, henceforth referred to as Dragonbrand Sect, vowed to ward against the return of dragons - the greatest fear on the minds of those who had survived. As that fear gradually waned however, passing into the realm of myth, the sect grew decadent. Most Dragonbrands were lost due to neglect, or destroyed by the Dragon Cults.
== Abilities ==
=== Dragon Bane ===
Dragonbrand partially absorbs mystical damage, lessening its effect on the wielder and storing it for use in its attacks. When you are hit by a spell or an attack with mystical damage, you may spend a charge to gain Resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Additionally, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 2C damage of the triggering type. Alternatively, you may use the 'Ziùnagub' special action. Dragons take double damage from attacks and abilities performed with this weapon. Any Immunity that a dragon has to damage inflicted with this weapon is instead treated as a Resistance.Ziùnagub

A creature takes 4C damage of the triggering type on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one.
