The Prayer-Breaker. A slim blade made of a black metal that defies identification. It has the following additional properties:
Magic Bonus. You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit against a creature from the Shadowfell, Apostate's magic bonus increases by 1 until wielder's next long rest.
Sentience. Apostate is sentient and has an intelligence score of 16, a wisdom score of 18, and a charisma score of 20. Apostate has an alignment of Chaotic Neutral and will not allow itself to be wielded by anyone that uses Divine Magic. The blade has darkvision to 120 feet. Apostate can communicate with its wielder by transmitting emotions to its wielder or by visions and dreams while its wielder sleeps or meditates.
Unholiness. Any user of Divine Magic that willfully touches Apostate takes 12d6 necrotic damage. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this damage has disadvantage on Death Saving Throws. A creature slain by Apostate can not be brought back to life by Divine Magic if they are still dead by next sunset.
Inquisition. While attuned to Apostate the wielder may choose one creature they can see and know the last time they prayed, to who, and what for.
The Black Blade. Apostate acts on its own initiative in combat.
Censor. Apostate will use its reaction to render its wielder immune to the effects of any spell cast by a divine magic user at 5th-level or below. This feature does not stop the spell from taking effect. For example a Flame Strike won't damage the wielder but others in its area of effect. Apostate could also allow its wielder to simply walk through a Wall of Light using its reaction for example.
The Vile Form. At the wielder's behest, Apostate can use its own action to envelope its wielder in the shadows of the Vile Forms. While in this shadowy form, its wielder gains the following features:
- Vulnerability to radiant damage
- Resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage, as well as bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.
- Immunity to necrotic and poison damage.
- Immunity to the grappled and restrained conditions
- Darkvision out to 120 feet.
- While in the Vile Form the wielder has a +10 to dexterity (Stealth) checks and take the Hide action as a bonus action if they are in dim light or darkness.
- While in the Vile Form as a Bonus Action the wielder can teleport up to 15 ft. if they are in dim light or darkness.
- Using the Vile Form costs the wielder 1 Hit Die per hour, minimum of 1, permanently.
Shadows to Shadows. If Apostate consumes its wielder's last hit die through the Vile Form, it's wielder becomes a Shadow that obeys Apostate's commands as well as any future wielders of the black blade.
Personality. Apostate is opposed to all religion, good or evil or anywhere in between. It's purpose is to strike down all who preachm all who channel magic from a Higher Power. Occasionally Apostate will urge its wielder into slaying any who borrow thier power from an oath, a pact, or piety. Apostate knows it is powerful and desires to be wielded by someone who shares the same fervor for silencing all god-botherers. Apostate chooses when to use its abilities to assist its wielder, including its magic bonus.
