If you do not already have it, you gain the Shadowsteel Adept feat.

During a Long Rest, you focus upon a Melee weapon within your reach, imbuing it with a fragment of your Shadowsteel corruption. This Shadowsteel weapon deals your choice of Force damage or their normal damage type.

When you reduce a creature to 0 Hit Points with a melee attack made with your Shadowsteel weapon, you gain 1d8 Temporary Hit Points for 1 hour.

You can repeat the process described above to imbue a different weapon with Shadowsteel. This removes the effect from your existing Shadowsteel weapon.
