The Blade That Divides Heaven and Hell

The Yamato is a weapon of exquisite beauty and terrifying precision—a katana of demonic heritage, forged to embody absolute power through perfect control. Once wielded by the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, and later passed to his son Vergil, the Yamato stands as the polar opposite of Dante’s Rebellion and the Devil Sword Sparda. Where those blades channel overwhelming force, the Yamato is pure elegance and precision—power refined into a single, flawless edge.

Its blade is long, slender, and impossibly sharp, forged from a dark metal that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. When drawn, the faint hum of otherworldly energy vibrates through the air, and a ghostly blue aura dances along its edge like living moonlight. The hilt, wrapped in black ray skin and corded in midnight silk, speaks of discipline and purpose—an aesthetic of cold perfection.

The Yamato is no ordinary sword; it is a key—a conduit capable of cutting through reality itself. With it, Vergil can sever the bonds between dimensions, open gateways to the demon world, or even divide a soul into its pure and demonic halves. Every swing carries mathematical precision, its cuts invisible to the eye but devastating in their effect. It doesn’t simply slice flesh—it severs existence, parting matter, space, and spirit alike.

In Vergil’s hands, the Yamato becomes an extension of his will: silent, swift, and merciless. It reflects his nature—order, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of power without emotion. Yet, beneath its stoic surface lies a haunting truth: the sword’s sharpness mirrors the divide between Vergil and his humanity, the rift between brotherhood and obsession.

More than a weapon, the Yamato is a manifestation of purpose—a blade that defines boundaries, commands the void, and reminds all who face it that even the finest line can separate a man from a devil.

This item has six charges that reset after a rest, to expend on the following agilities:

Splitting Body and Soul. By expending two charges of this weapon, you slam the weapon into the target's chest, dealing 5D6 slashing damage. Yanking it out causes a blast of energy, granting the target disadvantage on saves until a greater restoration spell has been cast on them.

Judgement Cut. By expending two charges, you make three lightning-fast attacks at advantage, each gaining an additional 1D8 slashing damage.

Summon Swords. You expend a number of charges of your choice, summoning spectral swords to form in the air around you. Each sword deals 4D8 piercing damage.

Cleave. By expending three charges of this weapon, you make a called shot, attacking a target at their joints. The target must make a Constitution saving throw equal to your dexterity total, or take 10D10 slashing damage, cutting the targeted limb from the body, taking half as much damage on a successful save.

Proficiency with a Longsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
