The Sword of the Clan ApBlanc (Artifact)

The Sword of the Clan ApBlanc is an artifact given power by the murder of Morholt ApBlanc by his father Tristen ApBlanc in 1833 of the Forfarian Calendar. The Sword is missing a piece of its metal, without which none of the Sword's powers will activate. Once whole, it acts as a claymore +2, with the following additional powers:

• cast cure serious wounds 1/day
• inspire allies as per a bard, during which time the music of bagpipes play
• once per month, speak with dead
• Inflicting damage upon ghosts of up to fourth magnitude

The Sword comes with significant hindrances:

• the wielder flying into a berserk rage if facing 10 or more enemies
• sword losing its powers for 1d10 days if used to slay a priest of any alignment
• the wielder falling into a state of despondency for 1d4 hours following any retreat from combat
