The Sword of Mixed Blessings

Description: The Sword of Mixed Blessings is a +2 longsword with a blade that glitters with multiple colors. It is a beautiful weapon. Its handle is made from steel with only a touch of gold and silver ornamentation. Unlike many magical weapons, it doesn’t have any runes or arcane writing on it. However, small multi-colored gemstones are embedded in the blade. The weapon hums slightly when swung as if it is literally cutting through the air. Its blade is sharp and well crafted. It takes no damage from arcane spells or spell-like abilities.

Origin: The Sword of Mixed Blessings is the result of a failed arcane experiment. It is thought that an unknown wizard attempted to graft spell gems into the weapon but added too many and the results were self destructive. Although dangerous, the sword is highly prized and sought after by collectors and thrill seekers.

Destructive Curse: In place of critical damage, the Sword of Mixed Blessings casts a spell that damages the wielder, objects, allies, and all enemies in range. The spell has no effect on the Sword of Mixed Blessings. On a critical attack roll, the wielder rolls a 1d8 to randomly to determine what spell activates. All spells are cast as if by a 15^th level sorcerer, have a 20-foot radius centered on the wielder, and a saving throw of DC 18.
