Mechanical effect

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic longsword. Once per day, you can use an action to cause the blade to emit a ghostly pale light that lasts for 1 minute.

Description

Forged in twilight hours by a secretive order, the Épée de la Lueur Silencieuse gleams faintly with a pale, ethereal light. Its blade is known to strike true with enhanced grace, and when summoned, its radiant glow can unnerve foes and illuminate the darkest places.

DM notes

This item fits the Uncommon rarity by granting a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls and a once-per-day radiant damage boost at a modest 1d6 level. The attunement limits sharing and stacking. The glow effect adds flavorful utility without overpowering combat potential. Its value and power are appropriate for mid-level adventurers seeking a simple but meaningful upgrade.
