This weapon has a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls, and its damage counts as magical
"A gruesome fetish created from what remains of the spinal column of a long dead god. Crafted by one of Bhaal's oldest worshippers as a sign of true devotion. A chain runs through the spine, where marrow once was, each spinal segment separated and carved into teeth, fashioned to rip flesh apart. A release mechanism was inserted into the sword right on the handle, allowing the chain to flow freely, making this weapon into a whip-sword, never allowing the wielder's next victim to escape.
A piece of this god's heart lays embedded in the center of the cross-guard, preserved as some twisted decoration, the vitality of the once divine being is still able to be felt, yet slowly fading."
Chain of Fileting: as a bonus action, the user releases the chain from it's confinement, extending the whip, the weapon gains the "Reach" property while retaining the damage properties of a Longsword. The user may use a bonus action to retract the chain and turn the sword back into a regular Longsword if they wish.
Bhaal's Welcome: as a bonus action, the user extends the chain and whips it forward, blades singing eagerly as they rocket forward, excited to bite into new flesh. Make a melee weapon attack against any one target within 15 feet. On hit, the teeth of the whip-sword bite into the flesh of the target, causing 1d6 slashing damage. If the target is of a medium size or smaller, they must make an Athletics or Acrobatics check contested against your own, whatever is higher for the both of you. If you succeed, the target is pulled all the way towards you in a straight line, this forced movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity against the target. If the target succeeds, they stay in place, still suffering the 1d6 slashing damage as a result of being bitten into by the hungry segments. A target of large or higher cannot be pulled, and only suffers the 1d6 slashing damage with no additional effects. This ability may be used once per short rest, or while under the effect of "Bhaal's Bargain". If used while the sword is not extended from the usage of "Chain of Fileting", this weapon now counts as extended, and gains the "Reach" property while retaining the damage properties of a Longsword.
Bhaal's Bargain: Spending your action beating your heart with the hilt of the sword, Bhaal notices you, and wishes to play a game. Energy and hunger flow through the blade, for 1 minute you may use the sword's "Bhaal's Welcome" ability every turn while under the effect. If the user does not kill anything while under the effect of this ability, they take 2d6 necrotic damage as penance, this damage may not be prevented or reduced in any way.
Proficiency with a Longsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.

Notes: 1 hour ritual spent communing with the sword, allowing the piece of the god's heart to resonate with their own, slowly making it beat until their heartbeats sync up and begin to pulse in tandem., Versatile, Sap
