The cracked, charred wood of this battleaxe's handle is seemingly held together only by velvet cloth, and its black iron head stays sharp against all odds.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Whenever you land a critical hit with Worldthirst, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt.

Attunement Benefits. While attuned to the axe, you gain the following benefits:

• You understand any spoken words you hear, and can automatically tell what language is being spoken if you have heard of the language before.
• You have resistance to psychic damage.
• You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid or end the charmed or frightened conditions on yourself.

On-Person Benefits. While the axe is on your person, you gain the following benefits, in addition to those gained simply by being attuned to it:

• You can see through illusions out to a range of 60 feet.
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
• You gain a +2 bonus to all saving throws.

Manual Benefits. The axe has 8 charges, which can be used in the following ways:

• You can expend 1 charge to make one attack with Worldthirst as a bonus action.
• When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points using Worldthirst, you can expend 2 charges to cause the creature to die immediately.
• As an action, you can expend 3 charges to force every creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 17). On a failed save, a creature takes 4d10 psychic damage and is incapacitated until the start of your next turn.
• When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend 6 charges to deal an extra 10d12 slashing damage. When you do so, the attack bypasses resistance to slashing damage.

The axe regains 2d4 charges daily at dusk, and 1 charge daily at dawn.

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