Blade of the Great Old One v1.0 Weapon (any), legendary (requires attunement by a creature of chaotic alignment) This blade is a large clear bottle, with a cork attached by string and winged crossguards made of glass as well. Inside the bottle is a swirling, black and purple mass of mysterious substance not bound to any surface, in the center of the mass is a single, unblinking blue eye. Take Form. As a bonus action, you can uncork the bottle and speak the name of any weapon, the form inside will slowly leave the bottle and use it's essence to form the spoken weapon, however, the eye will always remain inside. The more mass needed to create a weapon, such as a greataxe or warhammer, there is less substance left inside the bottle, which in turn causes the blue colour of the eye inside to dull. Dark Origins. While you are attuned to this item, any attack roll with it has a +3 bonus. Additionally, all regular damage dice rolls have 2 additional dice, and the blade on inflicts necrotic damage. For example; in dagger form rather than roll 1d4 piercing damage upon a hit, you would roll 3d4 necrotic damage.
