The Accursed Rakuyo (5e Equipment)

Weapon (Longsword), Legendary (Requires attunement) "Hunter weapon wielded by Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower. A trick sword originated in the same country as the Cainhurst Chikage, only this sword feeds not off blood, but instead demands great dexterity. Lady Maria was fond of this aspect of the Rakuyo, as she frowned upon blood blades, despite being a distant relative of the queen. One day, she abandoned her beloved Rakuyo, casting it into a dark well, when she could stomach it no longer." You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In its innate form, it deals 2d6 slashing damage and it has the following additional properties. Trick Weapon. This double-ended sword splits into two smaller swords. They each have the Light property and deal 1d6 slashing damage each. First Blood. Once you lose 40% of your total Hit Points, as an action, you can expend two hit die and impale yourself upon the two blades of Rakuyo in an explosion of blood, coating the blades in tainted blood. Your attacks gain the Reach property and you deal 1d10 slashing and an additional 1d10 necrotic damage. Bloody Comet. Pick one square within 60 feet of your position. You may rise straight into the air and crash-land there with an explosion of blood. Every creature within 10 feet of your landing space takes 2d10 necrotic damage. This consumes your movement action and can only be done a number of times equal to your Proficiency modifier while First Blood is active. Expunge the Blood. As an Action, you may expunge the corrupted blood in a visceral explosion. Every creature within a 20 foot sphere centered on yourself must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier, taking 2d10 necrotic damage on a failed save and half as much on a success. Burning Blood. Once you lose 75% of your total Hit Points, as an action you can give more to the accursed blades, levitating above the ground momentarily as Rakuyo siphons blood from the surrounding area. The blades of Rakuyo are coated in boiling blood and radiating heat. Your attacks gain the Long-Reach property(20ft) and deal an additional 1d10 fire damage. All abilities usable in First Blood are available in this mode, with 5 feet longer reach and additional fire damage.
