Champion Blades: Xero & Suul
Xero
A longsword with the soul of Xero, a famous Champion of the Raven Queen, sealed inside by a force only explained by indomitable will. This blade is as sharp as a razor and as light as a feather. The voice of a noble warrior resides in the blade that can communicate telepathically with whomever is attuned to the blade. The shimmering silver on the blade and the darkened hilt are a sight to behold, however only those who serve the Raven Queen can lift the blade it is as if their will isn't strong enough otherwise.

• A magical slash called Xero Gravity can be released from your sword as an action, in place of your melee attack you can make a ranged spell attack of 10 ft. Use your charisma mod + prof bonus for the attack roll. This can only be used 1 per prof bonus per long rest.
