Eternal Scythe
Magical Weapons And Armor
By:

This scythe is a very destructive weapon with an enchantment of +4. The heft is seven feet in length and is a solid black so dark it seems as if the light around is being sucked in. The blade at the top is five feet in length and is a dark cobalt blue. The blade of the weapon is very cold (-250 degrees) and has a frost layer constantly. Once a week the scythe can create an "ICE STORM" as per the spell. Three times per day the spell "FROST FINGERS" can be used. Any non-magical fire the blade comes in contact with will be extinguished. Any Magical fire spells directed toward the wielder is likely to be less effective. +3 bonus to save against such spells with success indicating the fire never got to the wielder. On a failed save the wielder is still protected suffering -2 points less damage per die of damage minimum of 1 point of damage. Many Sages believe that the Eternal Scythe was stolen from a minor death on a bad draw from the Deck of Many Things, who knows for sure.
