Description

<i>A shortsword of simple design but stunning beauty. Its blade is pale white and unreflective, its hilt made from gleaming silver. A crossguard shaped like a crescent moon joins the blade and the hilt, and a single moonstone glows faintly in its pommel.</i>

You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Additionally, creatures attuned to this sword are automatically proficient with shortswords and unlock their Weapon Mastery (Vex).

You can cast the spell once per Long Rest without expending a spell slot.

Any set of non-magical chains or manacles are immediately shattered if struck by the sword.

You can use your bonus action to cause the sword to emit or absorb light. The chosen effect lasts until you dismiss it or use your bonus action to change it. The effect also ends if you are Incapacitated or the sword leaves your hand.

  • Glow: The sword glows with pale moonlight, casting Bright Light in a 10 foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 10 feet.
  • Absorb Light: The sword emits a faint darkness in a 20 foot radius, creating an area of Dim Light regardless of the brightness of your surroundings. Creatures of your choice can see clearly through this darkness.

Duskrazor is a sentient Chaotic Good weapon with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 20. It has hearing and Darkvision out to 120 feet. If Duskrazor does not think a creature is worthy to wield it, it can make itself unnaturally heavy. Unworthy creatures that wield Duskrazor make attack rolls with Disadvantage.

If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
