The Baneful

The The Baneful is a rare +1 shortsword that only functions if it's Bound to an Eldritch Knight or is a Warlock's Pact weapon. It also applies the Bane condition on hit.

The wizard Otiluke wrote about bound weapons and their propensity to coalesce with their wielder as the pair come together. He also wrote about their dangers, which are manifold, and their benefits, which make the danger worth it.
