Wondrous item (Lute), uncommon (major) (requires attunement)

The Ragnarok and AUX is found in a general store, the shopkeeper not knowing how it came to his possession. The guitar is a modified axe with a large head, and a thicker handle than others with six strings and the bottom having a jagged spikes. When you attune to this item, the wielder must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are taken over by Blak Sab'batõn, the spirit that lurks inside the guitar, until they are no longer touching it, upon which you become unattuned to it. Upon succeeding, you enslave the demon to enact your metal wills. When strummed, it sounds only like a guitar with some scratch to it.

However, Ragnarok comes with a small homunculus servant called AUX with the words "Rock On" inscribed in elvish runes on it and follows whoever wields Ragnarok. It can amplify the sound up to 300 feet, can make new sounds of your choice (e.g. a drum line, bass solo, or both at once), or amplify your voice when singing. AUX can be strapped to a mount for easy portability. If AUX is killed, a perfect clone of it sprouts from Ragnarok at the end of your next short rest.

Ragnarok and AUX has 4 charges, representing the amount of Blak Sab'batõn's current power that can be channeled through AUX into Ragnarok. It regains 1d4 charges daily at midnight.

Power Chord. Whenever you strum, you may use your bonus action to expend two charges and imbue Ragnarok itself with Blak Sab'batõn's power, making a powerful, almost demanding sound. One creature that you can see must make a DC 12 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, they have disadvantage on attacking targets other than you until the start of your next turn.

Metal Callout. As an action, you may spend 1 charge to let Blak Sab'batõn take control temporarily. He insults and curses out one creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you in an almost demonic voice. The creature must succeed a DC 14 Charisma saving throw or take 1d4 psychic damage and 1d4 lightning damage.

Guitar Slash. In addition to being a musical instrument, Ragnarok may be used as a battleaxe. Attacks with this weapon count as magical, and you are proficient with it while attuned to it, even if you would not be normally.
