Thrull

After being fused with the greatsword of Thrull the Friend, Betty gains the additional following properties:   Multi-Purpose Weapon.
Betty is equipped with handles that allow her to be wielded as a melee weapon. When wielded in this manner, Betty is treated as a magical greatsword; and only when wield in this manner can the wielder utilise the Flame Burst and Breath of Ren abilities.   Flame Burst
You can use a bonus action to invoke Thrull's presence, causing flames to erupt from Betty's blades. These flames shed bright light in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. While Betty is ablaze, she deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop Betty or retract the blades.   Breath of Ren
You can use a bonus action to exhale steam at a target within 30 feet of you. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You have three uses of this ability, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.   Additional Languages
The wielder is able to understand and speak Draconic and Orc.
