Caliburn

Weapon (longsword), artifact (requires attunement by a creature that is well aligned and fated to rule and will automatically attune to whoever pulls the sword from the stone.) Caliburn is the lesser-known predecessor to the legendary blade Excalibur. Often confused with Excaliber, Caliburn was the legendary sword removed from the stone by King Arthur. Engraved in a golden inscription on its hilt are the words: Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is rightwise king of all England. However, once the blade is removed by its rightful owner, they are fated to no longer be human as they would be molded into a king who must shoulder the burden of becoming someone who kills everyone, to protect everyone. Though weak initially, the blade shall grow in power until the owner becomes a proper, perfected king. Only then will its power will become appropriate for a holy sword.

This can only be used once per long rest. Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Magic Weapons
