Bonfire Blade
Added 2024-09-05 16:20:41 +0000 UTCWeapon (any sword), common
The tip of this blade is smothered in dirt and soot. Its curved guard resembles a licking flame. You can use an action to jab the blade into the ground at your feet. When you do, it magically sinks into the ground, up to the hilt, and creates a small campfire around it. The campfire gives off heat and light like a normal fire, but it doesn't require fuel or oxygen or produce smoke.
You can use an action to remove the sword from the fire, harmlessly. The ground shows no sign of the sword or fire having ever been there.
The crew watched in awe as their captain leapt from the listing ship, slamming his sword down into the serpent's skull. Still, it was too late for him: the beast's poison finished its deadly work, and the two fell silently into the murky depths.
Years later, the crew sought to repay that bravery and offer the man a hero's burial. And, one last time, their captain led the way: on the ocean floor, still lodged in the skull, the sword roared with an everburning fire from around his unyielding grip.
