The Darkest Depth - Dormant
Weapon (varies) - Legendary artifact - requires attunement
A long polearm found shaped initially as a gigantic glaive, with a haft of oily dark steel inlaid with a still-flowing spiral of quicksilver, a long wickedly curved blade at the end, pitch black and seeming to absorb the light, like a black shape masked out of the world. An inscription runs down the handle in Giant; “In the darkest depths, where light and life and space lose meaning, everything becomes possible” One of the legendary Destiny Arms, built for the alchemist Lyndara, the first apprentice of Adaxus, and an experimental alchemist who worked with biology and teleportation. Mutable Form – Over the course of a short rest, a creature attuned to the Depth can adjust its size and shape, forming into a spear, pike, glaive or lance, sized for a creature either Medium, Large or Huge in size. Regardless of its form, it functions as a +1 weapon. (A weapon sized for a Large creature deals double the damage dice; a Huge weapon deals triple the damage dice. Wielding a weapon one category too large for you causes all attacks to be made at disadvantage; a weapon two or more categories larger cannot be used) Defy Space – As a bonus action, the wielder may sweep the glaive around themselves in an flourish of quicksilver, stepping through it and teleporting up to 30ft to an unoccupied space they can see. After using this ability, it cannot be reused until the wielder completes a short or long rest. Defy Life – Any creature struck with the Depth suffers an additional 1d4 necrotic or radiant damage (the wielder’s choice). Awakening – The polearm was built for Lyndara, known for making breakthroughs others thought impossible, such as infusions of shadow, the alchemy that powers The Swift, and uncovering her master’s secrets. If the wielder takes a risk and accomplishes something others claim should be impossible, the Depth will remember, awakening to new powers.
