Any sword that deals slashing damage, +3
This magic weapon ignores Resistance to slashing damage, as well as all damage thresholds.
When you attack an object with this magic sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target.
When you attack a creature with this weapon and score a critical hit, that target takes an extra 6d6 Slashing Damage, and instead of rolling on the normal Lingering Injuries table, it rolls 1d6 . On a 1, the creature loses a minor extremity such as a finger or an ear. On a 2-5, the creature loses a limb. On a 6, the creature loses a head and dies if it can't survive without the lost head.
Lost body parts can only be regrown through regeneration. 
A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to Slashing Damage, doesn't have appendages, is legendary, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its extremities to be cut off with this weapon.
In addition, you can speak the sword's command word to cause the blade to shed Bright light in a 10-foot radius and Dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the command word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light.
