Wrath of the Storm
Wrath of the Storm is a relic from long-forgotten times.1
Three forms
The weapon can take any one of three forms: a metal staff eight feet long; a dire threshing flail, its four-foot centre bar joined by chains to two-foot bars at either end; or a pair of flails joined by chains. The change is only one of appearance, and the weapon remains the same in every form.1
Storm power
Wrath of the Storm builds up an electric charge as it is used. Its wielder can release that charge as a burst of lightning, channel lightning through an opponent's metal weapon, or let it loose in a great blast. It also drinks in the energy of lightning that strikes its bearer. At dawn it loses whatever charge it holds.1
Legend
Legends say that this very weapon was used to end a war against the storm giants, and that it therefore carries the wrath and sorrow of all the giants who fell.1
