Raijin's Retribution, commonly known as "Stormrend," is an ornately crafted katana with an ever-present electric hum that resonates when unsheathed. The blade emits a faint blue light, betraying the presence of a contained lightning spirit. The hilt is adorned with intricate engravings of thunderclouds and lightning bolts, reflecting the sword's divine origins.
Raijin's Retribution is valued at approximately 10,000 gold pieces due to its divine craftsmanship and the contained lightning spirit's power.
Forged and infused by a powerful blacksmith under the behest of the five gods, Raijin's Retribution is more than a weapon—it is a prison for a rogue lightning spirit. This katana has been wielded by both heroic and sinister figures, each bound by their ability to withstand the spirit's initial voltage discharge. Legends tell of the blade's storied history, filled with tales of valor and retribution, its true master being one who proves worthy and strong enough to harness its electrifying power.
Attunement:
To attune to Raijin's Retribution, a potential wielder must endure three Constitution saving throws (DC 14) to withstand the initial voltage discharge of the contained lightning spirit. Failure results in suffering 4d8 lightning damage, while success grants resistance, halving the damage. After successfully enduring three checks, the wielder gains resistance to lightning damage and becomes the sword's new master.
Special Abilities:
- Storm's Protection: The wielder gains resistance to lightning damage.
- Masterful Blade: You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
- Lightning Reflexes: While attuned to Raijin's Retribution, you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that deal lightning damage.
- Electric Aura: The blade emits bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. This light is faintly blue and crackles with electric energy.
- Thunder Strike: Once per long rest, when you hit a creature with this weapon, you can choose to deal an extra 2d8 lightning damage. This ability recharges at dawn.
- Voltage Surge: Once per short rest, as a bonus action, the wielder can channel the lightning spirit within the blade to create a 10-foot radius aura of crackling electricity. Creatures of your choice within this area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 lightning damage, half damage on a successful save. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it as a bonus action.
