Tempest Sickle (3.5e Equipment)

Tempest Sickle: A fairly looking farming instrument with deep serrated edge. Depending on its wielder could determine how it forms. If it where to be developed on the good path it might have a silver blade with gold trimming on the spine of the blade and a Enriched Yellow Diamond somewhere on its handle or hilt. If it developed onto the evil side it might have a black blade with a tinge of crimson pearlescent if it where to reflect light and a eerie black or deep blue diamond or ruby somewhere. One might say the blade to be one with wind if traveled on the Air path and a simple but ornate bone like handle similar to that of a large birds spine. The description is up to the DM, Have fun~.

WARNING!!

You should note that this weapon is not designed for a player to ask.... but a DM to Offer and not let the player be known to any conditions or effects until said conditions are fulfilled. If the spell Identify is used on this weapon it gives conflicting results as it has SEVERAL spells that are active and yet inactive as if they are not presently in or on the weapon. If the DM or the spell Identify is kind enough they may give some weird or vague inkling to the next step in one of the three Paths. Once a Path has been chosen it is stuck on that path as long as it has a connection to the wielder. Once un-attuned.... the player may find it impossible to re-attune to same weapon. Each Path will have a Low, Moderate, and Strong Ability with the Abilities being unlocked or achieved in that order. If Conditions are fulfilled out of order it will not count until the lower of the ability is unlocked first. If no abilities have been unlocked by the conditions this weapons counts as a +3 Sickle with a strong attachment to the Chaotic Storms of the Air Domain. Stats of the regular Sickle here: SRD:Sickle
