Ilbratha

Weapon, Legendary

Ilbratha is an enchanted bronze sword stolen from the Obarskyr royal line of Cormyr for use in the Waterdeep Conspiracy

A +2 Short Sword, Ilbratha has a variety of magical abilities. When held by a fighter of any alignment, with flesh pressed to hilt, the sword could communicate these powers to its wielder. However, the sword was not itself sentient; this was actually a feature added in its creation. These powers could be activated with a mental command.

Ilbratha allows its wielder to use the spell Jump three times a day. Specifically, Ilbratha Jumped, and carried the wielder with it.

Following the Spellplague, its leaping ability allowed a wielder to briefly Fly short distances, once a battle, in order to attack.

Ilbratha could also create a Mirror Image of itself and its wielder, once a day, and also Blink itself and its wielder, once a day. Some stories told that this last ability made its wielder flash back and forth between the Feywild and the material plane.

When coming into contact with magic or magical effects, it would make a ringing sound like a struck chime or tubular bell. This only functioned on physical contact with enchanted objects and spell effects from devices, not against physical effects from spells already cast (such as a gust of wind or stinking cloud). This only served as a warning, and provided no defense against the magic.

Wielded by Halaster Blackcloak, found: 23rd Level
