Born from the spiritual essence of an Ancient Silver Dragon. This polymorphing scimitar/staff was brought into being as a final dying gift. The noble silver dragon, Faerandus sacrificed the last vestiges of his immortal soul to create two artifacts, a mighty polymorphic scimitar/staff and a self-renewing pendant. These artifacts were meant to help and guide his cherished ward, for he knew, that her life's journey would be a difficult and dangerous one.
After creating Faerandus’ Blessing (the powerful healing pendant), the ancient silver dragon also crafted this magnificent magical blade from an old scimitar. He imbued within the blade, not only a semblance of his young genasi ward's extremely rare transmutable gifts, but also is own visceral hatred against evil dragon kind.
