Violent Glass. This greatsword is made entirely of obsidian, yet always seems to be perfectly weighted for the hand that wields it, changing size and shape to the perfect ideal of what any given wielder would prefer most with their greatsword. This greatsword has a +5 bonus to attack and damage rolls, and transforms when first picked up by a wielder into the perfect greatsword for them. The wielder has no control over this transformation, but it remains consistent with their opinion of the absolute highest quality weapons.

Perfect Blade. The Obsidian Greatsword deals 2d20 damage per hit instead of of the usual 2d6, and bypasses all resistances and immunities. Additionally, while using the Obsidian Greatsword, your critical range increases by 2 (20 to 18-20, 19 to 17-20), and when a critical hit is made, the damage is tripled, not doubled.

Sharp Cutlery. The edge of this blade has been sharpened to an almost infinitesimal point. The Obsidian Greatsword has the properties of a sword of sharpness and a vorpal sword. Additionally, whenever a creature is hit by the Obsidian Greatsword, they suffer the effects of the Power Word Kill spell.
Destroying the Obsidian Greatsword. The blade can be destroyed by any artifact weapon.
