Shortsword, rare (requires attunement)
In ancient times, this sword was given to the king of Tikhalomonus, an ancient drow kingdom that fell during the Dark Sun’s war.
This magic sword is made with gold and a dark metal that can only be found in the Shadowfell or in the depths of the Underdark. Despite its short blade, its handle is big enough to be wielded with two hands. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit an enemy with this magic sword, it causes necrotic damage instead of regular slashing damage. This sword has 3 charges and regains all expended uses every day at dawn.
One with the shadow. As a bonus action, you can expend a charge of this magic sword and speak its command word to make the metal blade dissolve and transform into shapeless shadowy energy. As part of the same bonus action, you can choose one of the Shadow Forms below.
The sword takes the chosen form and gains its abilities. It remains transformed for 1 minute or until you dismiss its effect. You can use a bonus action to change the Shadow Form. No charge is required. You are proficient with this sword, no matter the form you choose, and you use your spellcasting bonus instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
Shadow Form - Strong Shadow Blade. The sword takes the shape of a longsword. You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit an enemy with this magic sword, the creature takes an extra 1d8 necrotic damage.
Shadow Form - Long Shadow Blade. The sword takes the shape of an extremely long sword. Use the stats of a longsword but add the reach property. When you hit an enemy with this magic sword, the creature takes an extra 1d8 necrotic damage.
