[Theros] Gelio, Glaive of Xenagos (Patreon)
Content
Weapon (glaive), artifact (requires attunement)
Xenagos wields Gelio, a glaive always with a pair of orangish lights floating within. In his hand it was used to start the greatest of parties or play the best of pranks. He was well known for his ability to whip revelers into a frenzy. Xenagos is said to be dead, but for a creature based in belief who is to say what is permanent. If he were to grant this weapon to a follower it would be for them to finish the Grand Revel, a party of such proportions it threatens to ruin the world.
Glaive of Revels. This magic glaive grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. Creatures you hit with this weapon must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on the first attack roll made against you until the end of their next turn.
Blessing of Revelry. If you are a worshiper of Xenagos, you gain all the following benefits for which you have the required piety:
Piety 10+. The glaive has 1 randomly determined minor beneficial property.
Piety 25+. The glaive has 1 randomly determined major beneficial property.
If you aren’t a worshiper of Xenagos, the glaive has 2 randomly determined major detrimental property.
See “Artifacts” in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide for details on randomly determined properties.
Duplicity. Whenever you fall below half your hit point maximum or receive a critical hit the spell mirror image is cast on you, lasting the duration, no concentration required.

While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells (save DC 18) from it: friends (0 charges), charm person (1 charge), Tasha's Hideous Laughter(1 charge), charm monster (3 charges), enemies abound (3 charges), dominate beast (4 charges), dominate person (5 charges), otto's irresistible dance (6 charges), dominate monster (8 charges). The spear regains 1d12+3 expended charges daily at dawn.
Destroying the Glaive. To destroy the glaive, it must remain untouched in a location without any form of entertainment for one month, then it must cast from Mount Hiastos in Nyx into the depths of the Underworld where it will shatter.
