--- ## Name: Vastlight **Type:** Legendary Weapon (Glaive) **Wielded By:** High King [[King Aeradan]], Ruler of the Cloud Giants **Rarity:** Artifact **Origin:** Forged from wind-crystal essence atop the Skyforge of Thalos, said to be blessed by a forgotten sky deity --- ## Description Vastlight is a radiant glaive forged of purest wind-crystal and stormsteel, refracting sunlight and starlight in sweeping arcs as though it bends the sky itself. The blade hums with constant pressure, a silent tension as if the air around it resists being still. The pole shaft is inscribed with runes of cloud-born sovereignty and divine inheritance. When [[King Aeradan]] wields it, the glaive leaves a **trail of vapor-light** that ripples across space like parted stormclouds. Its edge is both ethereal and impossibly sharp, able to cut not just flesh but illusions, lies, and the threads of fate itself. --- ## Properties & Abilities - **Skybound Edge:** Vastlight can bypass all magical resistance and force barriers. On a critical hit, the target must succeed a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be flung 60 feet into the air. - **Divine Severance:** Once per long rest, Vastlight can sever the effect of a divine spell or magical bond, including blessings, geas, or divine-linked spells (as if casting _dispel magic_ at 9th level). - **Stormlight Pulse:** As a bonus action, the wielder can unleash a radiant pulse (30 ft radius) dealing 6d10 radiant and thunder damage (Dex save DC 18 for half). On failed saves, targets are also blinded for 1 round. - **Anti-God Channeling:** Vastlight grants advantage on attacks against creatures with divine traits, avatars, or god-blessed champions. - **Flight Bane:** While wielded, flying enemies within 60 feet must make a Strength saving throw at the start of their turn or be pulled 20 feet downward. --- ## Lore Vastlight is rumored to be a weapon forged not to slay mortals, but to **challenge the heavens**. It was meant for a prophesied war between mortals and gods—a blade of truth meant to illuminate divine corruption. [[King Aeradan]] claims it as a **symbol of his right to ascend**, using it as both executioner and herald of his New Order. Many fear that if Vastlight is brought to the roots of [[Sylrathis]], it could sever her divine connection entirely. --- Let me know if you'd like to stat it for player use, forge a corrupted version of Vastlight, or introduce a legendary counter-weapon to oppose it.
