Weapon (any sword or club), very rare (requires attunement for non keyblade user based classes) (Note, this pageis mostly catered to the Keyblade Master class. I will add attunement options for multiclassers or for those who wish to randomly add them to their campaign.) A typical keyblade. (Source) A keyblade is a magical weapon that resembles a large key. Some keyblades possess a sharp edge like a sword, while others are instead used to bludgeon creatures like a club or mace. It is said that a keyblade can be used to open any door and unlock any lock. While attuned to a keyblade, you can cast the spells arcane lock and knock three times per day each, without requiring material components. You regain spent uses of these spells at dawn. If you are a spellcaster, you may use the keyblade as an arcane focus for your spells. While attuned to the keyblade, the keyblade is bonded to you. If you are disarmed, you can summon the keyblade to your hand using a bonus action so long as you are on the same plane of existence. Variant Keyblades Keyblades come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and some of these variations have additional powers that a standard keyblade does not. This section presents several examples of variant keyblades. Oathkeeper A radiant keyblade.
