Weapon (Longsword), Artifact (Major) (requires attunement by spellcaster with 17 Intelligence or more.) A fine craft blade, inscribed with magical runes and a gilded edge. This blade seems to be made of a magically enhanced onyx metal. This sword is not found, rather it is summoned from the very soul of a powerful spellcaster.

Additionally, this weapon deals an extra 3d6 damage on a hit. Mystical Perdition As an action, you can unleash a 120-foot cone of destructive energy from the weapon. Each creature in that area must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 20d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

You may also add your proficiency bonus to damage rolls made with this weapon. Knowledge of the Blade This weapon can cast the Haste spell on you once per day. The user decides when to cast the spell and the weapon maintains concentration on it so that you don't have to. Arcane Devouring Whenever you use it (or a spell focused through it) to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its arcane essence, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose essence has been devoured by Perdition can be restored to life only by a Wish spell. When it devours arcane essence, Perdition grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature's hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Perdition in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.

A creature takes 20d8 + 50 radiant damage on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one. The 30 foot radius around the bomb becomes a permanent Antimagic field All nonmagical plants within a 300 foot radius wither and die.
