You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this quasi-intelligent magic rapier. It acts as an arcane focus for any bard spells as if it were itself a musical instrument. Other than 'rapier' no additional proficiency is required.
The Bardblade uses the music it learned from your successful Perform checks to improvise similar musical themes and play them whenever you will it (no action needed to start it or stop). The blade's music is clearly heard in a 30'r and faintly heard out to 60'. You can teach it additional music as desired to increase its range including allowing it to 'hear' music played by others within 30'. It will approximate choral music but does not sing or speak actual words.
No further attempts at attunement are allowed after a failed audition. Used without attunement, it is merely a rapier.
Proficiency with a Rapier allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
Notes: Bonus: Magic, series of three successful Perform checks using a musical instrument before three unsuccessful ones are made - the Audition process., Damage, Combat, Instrument, Sentient, Focus, Bard, Finesse, Vex
