Jishin, Earth Render

Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement)

Component: elemental core of earth

The battle for Black Rock Fort was long and wearisome. The jishin-wielding fire mages, unable to kill the demons with their fire magic, blocked doorway after doorway, forcing the demonic hordes to dig through every inch. Hallways became hazardous obstacle courses; gardens were reduced to nothing more than flaming ashes. After weeks of struggle, the Demon Hunter clan arrived and the battle began in earnest.

This weapon has 4 charges and regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.

Heat Holder. As an action while holding the sword, you can expend 1 charge to cast the heat metal spell (save DC 15). When heat metal is cast on this weapon, the heat doesn’t propagate past the guard and its wielder isn’t subjected to the normal effects of the spell. Instead, the weapon deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to each target it hits while affected by the spell.

Lavaburst. As an action while holding the sword, you can expend 1 charge to cause a 10-foot-diameter circle of earth centred on a point you can see within 60 feet of you to fracture and warp, spurting forth sprays of lava. For 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell), the area is difficult terrain, and each creature that starts its turn in the area or enters the area for the first time on its turn must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 3d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Tectonic Shift. As an action while holding the sword and standing on earth, you can expend up to 3 charges to cause a nonmagical slab of rock to burst up from the ground at a point you can see within 30 feet of you. The slab is a rectangle 10 feet high, 2 inches thick, and has a length in feet equal to five times the number of charges expended, facing a direction of your choice. The slab is an object made of stone that has AC 15, 60 hit points, and vulnerability to thunder damage. When it is reduced to 0 hit points, it is destroyed.

---------------------------------------

Uncommon variant: Reduce the DCs to 13 and the damage of the Lavaburst property to 3d6. Increase the charges needed to use the Heat Holder and Lavaburst properties to 2. Remove the Tectonic Shift property.

Very rare variant: Increase the charges to 6, the recharge to 1d4 + 2, the DCs to 16, and the extra fire damage that the sword deals while under the effects of heat metal to 2d6.

Legendary variant: While holding this sword, you can speak, read, and understand Ignan and Terran. Increase the charges to 8, the recharge to 1d4 + 4, the DCs to 17, the extra fire damage that the sword deals while under the effects of heat metal to 2d8, the damage of the Lavaburst property to 3d10, and the length of the slab created by the Tectonic Shift property to up to ten feet per charge expended. You can expend any number of charges when using the Tectonic Shift property.
