Sword of Damocles

Cost: 20 SP

The Sword of Damocles is a formidable and versatile weapon that exists as a pool of energy within you, serving as both an offensive and defensive force. This mystical sword can take on any appearance of your choosing and possesses unique properties that set it apart from conventional weapons.

In its dormant state, the Sword of Damocles resides within you as a concentrated pool of energy, ready to be called upon when needed. When summoned into existence, the sword hovers above your target, guided by an unerring tracking ability. This allows it to pursue and engage your designated target with relentless precision. It bypasses all defenses and immunities, ensuring that no obstacle can shield your chosen adversary from its wrath.

As you continue to employ the Sword of Damocles, its capabilities expand and evolve. Each successful takedown of a target enhances the sword's overall power and grants you greater control over its destructive potential. By eliminating multiple targets of the same type—whether they be humans, goblins, elves, houses, or even cities—the Sword accumulates damage multipliers specific to those targets. This means that future strikes against the same type of target will unleash even more devastating damage.

Furthermore, the Sword of Damocles possesses the ability to split into multiple swords, granting you unprecedented flexibility and tactical advantage. You can distribute the strength of the sword in any combination you desire, tailoring your attack strategy to suit the situation at hand. Whether you choose to wield a single sword at maximum power or divide it into multiple blades with varying degrees of strength, the decision is yours to make. For example, you can split the sword into two blades, with one carrying 25% of the total strength and the other wielding 75%. Alternatively, you can opt for a multitude of smaller swords, each contributing a fraction of the total damage output.
