Weapon (greatsword), artifact

Life exists only to die. Those were the words of the great forgotten fighter, Lucian Grace. And even now, those words hold true, and this sword is very proof of it. Forged from obsidian and killer of millions, this sword holds deadly potential. Every swing of this sword invites death, and when you are close to it, you can feel the cold grasp of death.

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. You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made using this magic greatsword, which does not have the Heavy property.

Perfect Blade. The Obsidian Greatsword scores a critical hit on a 19 or 20. In addition, it deals 2d8 slashing damage on a hit instead of 2d6.

Sharp Cutlery. The edge of this blade has been sharpened to an almost infinitesimal point. The Obsidian Greatsword has the properties of a vorpal sword.

Soul-Ripper The Obsidian Greatsword rips the souls out of every creature it kills, imbuing its wielder with strength. When a creature is killed by the Obsidian Greatsword, it turns to ash and cannot be brought back to life by any means short of a wish spell or a true resurrection spell. In addition, when you kill a creature, you regain hit points equal to a quarter of their maximum hit points.
Destroying the Obsidian Greatsword. The blade can be destroyed by any artifact weapon.
