Axe of Seeking

A perfectly weighted battleaxe, with a handle formed of a beautiful oak and a head made of adamantine. Inscribed with runes that run along the handle and the sides of the axe head, the weapon grants a feeling of security and brings an air of peace to those who bask in its glow.

This weapon has +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the weapon.

The axe has the thrown property (30/60), and while attuned to the wielder, the axe immediately returns to the wielder after, regardless of if the attack connected. On the wielder's turn, they can use a bonus action to empower the axe with a mystical force. While empowered, the axe deals an additional roll of the weapon's damage die as force damage, and any creature that is hit by the axe must make a Strength saving throw (DC 17) or be knocked prone. Additionally, the weapon deals an additional 2d8 force damage on a critical hit.

When you are within 60 feet of a celestial, fiend, or an undead that isn't behind total cover, the runes along the head and handle of the axe will begin to glow a bright blue, alerting you to their presence. The axe does not reveal their exact location, only their existence. Furthermore, you gain the ability to cast the Protection from Evil and Good spell through the axe. When cast in the manner, the spell still consumes a spell slot as normal, but the spell does not require concentration and automatically lasts for the full duration of the spell.

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