The White-Wytch - Minor Artifact
Picture Dragon 196, page 9
3 blades and a snake's head hilt. It is an ice quenched blade with a white
sheen, cold blue gems in it and platinum and silver detailing.
The blade was used at the last battle of Iersen bridge, when the concord was
signed, and the spear was used, one of the King's advisors stabbed him in the
back with it before being cut down by the Keol Knights,there it earned the name
'Troth-Breaker'.
To the elves, it is known as the 'Dreamspider'; one of the Celene princes owned
it for a while and as he could not speak Flan or Suel, it communicated using his
dreams, eventually driving him insane. The Wytch has the ability to learn new
languages, hence it knows Dark Common, it takes about six months in close
proximity to a person to learn their language.
The dagger is +3, but if used where it's magic does not apply, such as an Anti-
Magic Shell, it is -1 to hit and +1 on damage due to it's odd construction. It
is an impaler, ie. if used to backstab an opponent (or ex-friend), it will do
double damage on a roll of 16 or higher (triple damage to an ally).
It is rumoured that the wytch has many powers, and can cast its own spells, but
these rumours have not yet been proved true or otherwise. The darker rumours
also say that the blade requires fresh blood to fuel it's casting, otherwise it
will weaken until useless.
