Ecstatic Whip

There are six of these demonic whips in existence throughout the Multiverse. Each one consists of the whip being made from a long tentacled body with a sharpened spiked end, almost like a tail. The handle has a guard covering the wrist and about two inches extending over the forearm. The whip feels as if it is covered in smooth skin, warm to the touch and lithely muscular under it. Its colour is a pinkish purple, and the guard is a latticework of blackened metal & leather dotted and interspersed with brass etchings. The guard also has what feels like miniscule growths of tissue in the inside. To grasp one by the handle, it feels as if there is a terrible sentience dwelling in the weapon. Also, when grasped, something deep within senses this, and the guard snaps down onto the wrist and forearm. The inside starts then to burrow through cloth & armour, and fix itself to the wielder. Given 6 hours this will have burrowed to bare skin, and bonded with it, becoming an extension of the user's body in place of their hand. The bearer feels waves of joy & ecstasy every time they wound a creature and draw blood.
No-one knows exactly where these whips have came from, though the majority have been found attached to worshippers of dark gods, and are further mutated by some outside influence. So far 5 have been accounted for over the millennia, and thought to be destroyed. Some speculate the god who created these is tied to acts of pleasure and pain in equal measure. Some have mentioned Leviathan or She Who Thirsts as possible creators, as both have had followers who have had such whips attached to them.

Attachment. Within 6 seconds the weapon's guard and handle starts to push itself into the clothing or armour of it's host. It takes a full 6 minutes for this to finalise. 6 hours later it is fully integrated into the wielder's hand, wrist and lower forearm. The clothing / armour remains undamaged somehow unless it is a glove, which is then destroyed. A DC 18 Strength test is needed in this time. If successful, the whip is removed. If failed, the weapon attaches itself permanently to the wielder. Nothing shore of a Remove Curse or Wish spell will remove if.
Ecstatic Kiss. The wielder has an increase to Dexterity of +3, and the first time it wounds a creature (excluding Constructs and Undead), in a combat round, adds 1d6 Temporary Hit Points to the wielder. Since it is a visible 'mutation' it causes a -3 to all Charisma rolls.
Ecstatic Visions & Pleasure From Pain. The wielder gets visions, either by waking dreams or while long rests, that show scenes of debauchery & pleasure beyond the norm for that creature. These can affect the creature by giving them a jaded outlook on life and they have Condition Immunity to being Paralysed or Frightened. Though by doing so it gives the wielder a -2 to DC saves against poisons & necrotic damage as they revel in the pain of these sensations.
