This item appears to be a shortsword hilt. While grasping the hilt, you can feel the tingling sensation of hidden magic. You can use a bonus action to expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to activate the sword, causing the blade of pure energy to spring into existence. Depending on the spell slot level used to activate it, the weapon has a different damage die:
- 1st or 2nd lvl spell slot - 1d6 damage die
- 3rd or 4th lvl spell slot - 1d8 damage die
- 5th or higher lvl spell slot - 1d10 damage die
Once you activate the sword, you can use it as a spellcasting focus and you are proficient with this weapon for the duration. You can use your spellcasting ability for your attack and damage rolls while using this weapon. It deals force damage instead of piercing damage.
The sword remains activated for 8h or until it gets deactivated. You can use an action to deactivate it earlier by calming down the energy within the weapon. It will also get deactivated by itself while dropped on the ground or whenever you fall unconscious. When being deactivated without the will of the bearer, each creature (except the bearer) within the radius of 10ft. must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save the creature must take full damage and on the successful one only half of the damge, depending on the spell slot level used to activate it:
- 1st or 2nd lvl spell slot - 3d6 force damage
- 3rd or 4th lvl spell slot - 4d8 force damage
- 5th or higher lvl spell slot - 5d10 force damage
