Necromancers can bind the spirits of fearsome warriors within cursed blades. These soulbound swords have a sinister appearance, with morbid detailing such as skull-shaped pommels and guards made from carved bone. The black blades are slightly iridescent, and if an observer watches closely, they may be able to discern the shifting ghost trapped within. Bearers of these swords are said to benefit from some of the skill of the warrior spirit they carry, and the blades’ merest touch often proves fatal. The grim reputation and appearance of Soulbound Swords also serves to inspire dread in their bearers’ foes. When using a soulbound sword, a weak-willed warrior may become possessed by the ghost entrapped in their blade.
