Four-Ways Dogslicer
1d6S·Martial·Sword·One-handed
Runes +2, striking
This +2 striking dogslicer is obviously the work of a brilliant but scrappy artisan who valued versatility over safety. Four toothy gems line the blade's cutting edge, three of which glow-one with fiery red light, one with a chill blue, and one that gives off sparks-while the last is a glistening black. Each of these gems embodies a weapon property rune, but only one rune can be active at a time.
Activate-Gem Twist 1 (manipulate)
Effect You twist the gem along the blade corresponding with the desired weapon rune: red for flaming , blue for frost , or yellow for shock . You take 1d6 untyped damage of the type the chosen rune deals. You can instead twist the black gem to disable the active property rune, taking no damage.
