• The wielder can, as an action, use the weapon to magically incite a small localized Sandstorm at a target location that the wielder can see within 60 feet, the sandstorm  lasts for one minute and causes each creature in a 30-foot-radius to take 2d6 fire damage every time they end or start their turn inside the sand storm, they also suffer disadvantage on all dexterity and perception saving throws or checks due to the harsh nature of the storm. You can choose any number of friendly creatures that you can see and give them immunity to these effects. This property recharges every day at dawn.

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