On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't stunned.

You and all creatures and unattended objects within 60ft of you are transported inside this glorious pocket dimension depicting a beautiful golden theater for the next minute. While inside it, all hostile creatures will be considered to have vulnerability to the first melee attack you make against them with Aestus Estus and take an additional 1d8 fire damage as the attack creates an eruption of flames. For every attack you land on a creature with Aestus Estus, they will suffer a -1 penalty to their AC up to a cumulative -5 penalty. You may end this effect at any time during your turn to transport all creatures back to their previous plane, and all affected creatures return to the previous plane in the place where they left at the end of the minute or until you are knocked unconscious.

The weapon understands Common and one other language, and it can communicate telepathically with it's attune wielder. Personality. The blade is possessed by the soul of its first wielder, an empress of a long-gone kingdom. She initially has a very haughty and loud personality, but she does not act like this to her wielder and calls them Praetor. She believes that anything that her wielder does needs to be perfect, and she will often give remarks on your actions. She does not allow gender to sway her preferences and believes the true orientation of her soul to be half and half. She feels she is an artist before an empress, truly believing she is the pinnacle of the arts, and she believes that her wielder should follow suit. If you don't create something (writing songs, painting, sculpting, writing, fashion design, architecture, acting, or metalwork) within a week, a conflict will happen in the morning.
