The Grey Blade (Patreon)

Weapon (shortsword), rare

The elegant stone blade of this weapon hums with an unknowable magic. You have a +1 bonus to attacks made with this magic weapon. While holding this weapon you have blindsight out to 30 feet. 

Null Void. This item has 3 charges and regains 1 charge every dusk and dawn. As an action while holding this weapon you can spend a charge to have it produce a 30-foot-radius sphere of antilight centered on this blade for 1 hour. For the duration, no light or darkness can be created within or pass through the radius. Any spell or magical effect that would produce bright light or darkness is treated as though subjected to an antimagic field when created within the radius or passing through it (ex. Darkness, Sun Blade, Veil of Dusk, etc.). Additionally, the area within the sphere appears entirely in shades of gray, as both bright light and darkness alike are converted to dim light. 

Before the bright, before the dark, there was balance. An equal measure of day and night, of light and shadow. But this delicate symmetry did not last long, shattered with the first dawn that drove back the night, and in turn was chased back. The eternal push-and-pull is but a tragic result of the pettiness of mortals and gods seeking to establish themselves as the superior. Only the grey and ancient recall the true state of existence, an equilibrium which supersedes all others and must be maintained.
