Greatsword

Created by Bobbyx

This imposing two-handed blade channels the raw power of tempests into physical form. The weapon's dark steel surface gleams with an otherworldly sheen, accented by intricate gold filigree that traces along the fuller like captured lightning frozen in metal. The broad, heavy blade is designed for devastating cleaving strikes, its weight and balance favoring overwhelming force over precision. When wielded by a warrior of considerable strength, the greatsword hums with barely contained electrical energy. The crossguard is elegantly simple yet robust, providing reliable protection while allowing for powerful two-handed grips. Ancient runes along the fuller glow faintly with azure light during thunderstorms or moments of great conflict. The weapon responds to the wielder's righteous fury, amplifying strikes with crackling arcs of electricity that leap from the blade to nearby foes. Those struck by this greatsword often bear the scorch marks of lightning in addition to the physical trauma of the blow. The hilt is wrapped in supple leather that never grows slick, even when wet from rain or battle. Legends speak of this blade being forged in the heart of a raging storm, binding its essence to the weapon eternally.
