The sword loses 1 charge if the creature is also slain. When the sword has no charges remaining, it loses this property. The hilt of this weapon is covered with carved, ancient Rellanic runes that seem to comprise nonsensical words or, possibly, a list of proper names. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
