The Ravenous Darkblade
Real Name:Soul Rebellion
Soul Rebellion's dark blade was created and forged from the lava-melted ashes of the dead royals and dragons of Claureis as well as as an incredibly dense and a resilient metal found only on that world. In the beginning, the blade resembled coal or obsidian in color, but has only grown darker with each blood-letting and soul assimilated. The wicked-looking eye in the middle was an artifact left over from the last Dragon-King of Claueris. When he died and was cremated in the flows of the lava lake, his hoard was added to the royal treasury. It was her that Cid found the item and added it to the blade to strike fear into his enemies. He did not know the full scope of its power, nor that he was being influenced and manipulated to make this addition by the Dragon-King's ghost as well as the ghost of Otherworld-Bandus. The white and gold threading on the handle of the weapon is actually Cid's own hair, preserved and enspelled to make the weapon immune to scrying and other detection methods. The silver guard and cross-guard was once Cid's own royal crown. Feeling unworthy to be King-General, he melted it down for raw materials, ensuring he could never again assume the throne of Claueris.

Description
Background
To this day, not much is known about this sword and what it can do. Not even the designer and forger of the sword, Cid, knows what the sword is capable of or how powerful it can become. Listed below are all the Abilities that have currently been discovered.Abilities
Defiance-Soul Rebellion grants intangibility/phasing abilities to the wielder as well as itself for up to 5 second intervals
Leash- This ability forms a near-inseparable "Bond of Servitude" upon the soul and flesh of a non-resisting victim upon touch. Anyone not currently possessed or actively defending against Bandus' touch is susceptible. The victim can still think, act, interact and experience things normally, but are compelled to utter follow Bandus' ever suggestion. New commands can supersede or strength previous commands
Assimilate Soul- With every strike upon flesh, Soul Rebellion consumes the blood/essence of it's victims, adding it to the substantiation of the blade and strengthening the density, attack power and strength of the weapon. Also, it steals a remnant of the soul from within the blood, adding it and it's host's powers to it's collective Legion of Souls. Due the the thousands of souls that have been assimilated over the years, Soul Rebellion is now classified as an Indestructible Artifact.
Untethered Soul- This ability allowed Bandus' spirit to leap/travel between Soul Rebellion and prepared host bodies at will, taking the vessel over utterly and completely. (Discontinued in this latest incarnation)
Accelerated Fast-Healing- Grants the wielder a highly accelerated healing factor while the sword is on their person or within 2 feet. Also it works the same as a Ring of Sustenance, allowing the wielder
to go indefinitely without eating or drinking.
Light of the World- Simple Globe of Light with a ten-foot radius centered upon the sword's eye, only, blended with Flare to blind his enemies. It also has strong Axiomatic properties to sear the flesh of non-lawful beings and destroy weaker undead outright. The eye upon the cross-guard opens up to release this power.
Consumption- Soul Rebellion has recently become cannibalistic. The eye upon its cross-guard can open up into gaping maw with diamond teeth that will attempt to suck in select magical items within its range and subsequntly consume them with the intent of gaining some of its magical properties
Strategic and Tactical Mastery- While Soul Rebellion is being held, It grants unfettered access to all the memories and technical expertise of the soul remnants residing within.
Channeling- Soul Rebellion may channel and harness the wielder's own innate energies to empower itself. For example, Bandus' ability to control fire may be drawn upon to imbue the SR with flames for an undetermined amount of time- effectively creating a flame sword that burns for the duration of the ability.
