This dagger is made of two different metals that contrast with each other. One side is made of a silvery metal, while the other side is made of black steel. You can see a wavy pattern on the blade, the same colour as blood. Its pommel is wrapped in red silk that feels slightly damp. Carved in the guard is the depiction of a warrior slashing the favoured or most disliked enemy of the perceiver

Abilities
- You gain a +2 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls made with this Magic Weapon. In addition, the weapon ignores Resistance to slashing damage and deals an extra 1d10 slashing damage to humanoids.
- The weapon can also cast the Locate Creature spell once per day, but can only be used by those who forged the blade or those who have been damaged by the blade and lived to tell the tale.
If bathed in blood (has killed a humanoid or blood offered willingly by the wielder), gain the ability to use the following effects for a minute once per short rest:
- Bloodied Edge. Spend half your hit die (rounded up) to deal an extra d6 of necrotic damage equal to half the number of hit dice spent (rounded down). The opponent will not be able to heal half of the damage dealt if they fail a Constitution saving throw DC(16)
- The Blood Of My Foes. Gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage you dealt (does not stack; also does not apply if you used the bloodied edge ability)
- Improved Critical.Crits on a 19-20
- Killed creatures cannot be revived except by a Wish spell or divine intervention if they fail a Constitution saving throw DC(16)
Cursed
- The only way to break the curse is if a 4th-level Remove Curse spell is cast on the blade and if the wielder makes a bodily sacrifice. EX: A finger from the wielder's dominant hand.
- The blade must be bathed in blood once every 3 days, or else the wielder will have disadvantage on all attack rolls and gain the following flaw: All my battles must be a bloodbath, and I will be the one to cause the bloodbath on both sides. These effects will end if bathed in the blood of an enemy, an ally, or a willing sacrifice of the wielder's own blood for a full minute.
- If the wielder dies, the sword will devour their soul and can only be freed if a wish spell is cast.
Personality
BackBiter is vicious and cruel; it will goad the wielder to slay all that dare oppose him/her in battle and will never be satisfied unless the opposer is dead. Its goal is to slay those who forged it for a reason known only to it, and it will demand that the wielder find the three who forged it and kill them. It hates weakness, and if the wielder shows any weakness, the blade will demand to be handed to another and will attempt to control the wielder if they do not comply (DC 16 Wisdom saving throw)
