Kaminari Blade

Greatsword (Requires attunement)

The Kaminari Blade, also known as the "Thunder Blade," is an odachi forged by the master blacksmith Kawasaki Yurumani. During its creation, Yurumani imbued the sword with the spirit of a dying thunder drake, granting it the power of lightning and thunder. The blade is exceptionally long and slightly curved, with a razor-sharp edge that glints with a faint electric blue hue. The hilt is wrapped in storm-grey silk, and the guard is adorned with lightning bolt motifs, adding to its awe-inspiring appearance. Due to the complexity and skill required to create such a weapon, the Kaminari Blade is a rare sight, even among the most prestigious collections.

Due to its unique creation process and the infusion of a thunder drake's spirit, the Kaminari Blade is valued at approximately 20,000 gold pieces. Its rarity and powerful enchantments make it highly sought after by collectors and warriors.

The Kaminari Blade is the masterpiece of Kawasaki Yurumani, a legendary blacksmith known for his ability to imbue weapons with elemental spirits. The thunder drake, whose spirit resides within the blade, was said to be a powerful creature of the storm, granting the sword its electrifying power. Few blacksmiths have managed to replicate Yurumani's technique, making the Kaminari Blade an exceptionally rare and coveted weapon.
