Swordtember 4: Phantom Edge

The ghost of a sentient weapon, bound to no master’s hand in “death“.

Day 4 of Swordtember! The prompt today was “Ghostly“ and I thought it would be very fun to play with the expectation to make another magic item and instead create a creature statblock. I’ve always wondered where sentient weapons fit into the cosmological cycle of life and death and this was a great way to explore that.
