This strange artifact appears at first to be the hilt of a blade. It is chipped and weathered, and the blade that was once there has been broken away. It appears to simply be a useless piece of junk. However, the hilt possesses magical properties.
Said to have been created by a mage who desired power above all else, when the hilt is dipped in an offering of blood, a small red blade will appear, replacing the blade that was broken off. It is made out of a strong, almost unbreakable metal. At first, the weapon is only the size of a dagger. If more blood sacrifices are made, by using the blade to harm someone, the blade will eventually become a longsword; the damaged hilt being fully repaired by the blood it has drawn.
If used by a mage, they will attain +1 power every time they significantly harm someone with the blade. However, they also gain +1 corruption. If the mage corrupts fully or dies otherwise, the hilt will revert to its original bladeless state, waiting for someone to start the cycle all over again.
