NEW MAGIC ITEM: LOFNAR'S SWORD

This shortsword is rumored to have belonged to the fabled hero Lofnar. It is fashioned from a strange bluish purple metal. The grip is black leather and the pommel features the face of a lion. Written in black letters on the blade is the word “Lofnar”. It has the following characteristics:

• Intelligence of 12 and ego of 7, neutral good

• +1 sword, but in the hands of a neutral good person it is always +3 to hit as well

• It can communicate through a strange form of telepathy (if it chooses) and sounds like a young child, though it can only “talk” when being held by the grip

• The user may also detect magic in a 1” radius for one turn, twice a day

• Anyone holding the sword is also capable of talking with Lofnar's dragon

• Unlike many other magic swords, it does not shed light
