Defender Greataxe

Defender Greataxe is a rare, moderately enchanted (+2) special variant of the Greataxes family of weapons. It is a martial melee weapon that's wielded with both hands.

The power of this axe lies in a fluctuating arcane enhancement that flows between the beard and the edge of the axe, and the wielder themselves.
