Sword of Sacrilege

Weapon (greatsword or longsword), rare (requires attunement)

Component: Fiend heart

Holding this sword for the first time fills the wielder with a righteous anger towards the arrogance of the divines. Using it in combat makes one feel like they have the power to stand up to deific tyranny. And after killing their first creature with the fiery blade, any warrior will be certain that TOGETHEEEER, THEY CAN DEVOUR THE VERY GODS!

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Usurper’s Fire. As an action while holding this sword, you can strike the ground, causing searing lava to erupt in a 5-foot-wide, 30-foot-long line on the ground originating from you. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You regain 2d6 hit points for each creature that failed the saving throw (maximum of 6d6). Once this property of the sword has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Blasphemous Ground. As an action while holding this sword, you can plunge it into the ground, creating a magical aura of boiling lava on the ground around you to a distance of 5 feet for 1 minute. This aura moves with you. Each creature standing on the ground that starts its turn within the area or moves into it for the first time on a turn must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once this property of the sword has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
