Its magical properties are protected by Nystul's undetectable aura, and Khelben the Blackstaff is said to scry on the bearer of the axe from time to time to make sure he or she is not acting contrary to the interests of the Lords of Waterdeep. It acts as a disruption weapon when defending the city of Waterdeep.

This illumination automatically brightens (to the equivalent of a torch) when the axe is within 60 feet of an outsider or an evil creature the wielder may also command the weapon to brighten in this manner. The edges of the axe blade shimmer with a faint blue glow (shedding light equal to a candle). This unique +5 throwing wounding battleaxe is forged of an alloy of silver and steel, with runes of power along the blade, a handle of solid steel wrapped in blue dragonskin, and a star sapphire in the pommel. The sword can negate darkness (as if using a daylight spell) once per day.

Minor Artifacts of Faerûn Arbane's Sword of AgilityĪrbane of Myth Drannor originally crafted this sword, and a least a dozen were been made by him or others before the process disappeared to the mists of time. In other cases, several examples of an item exist, scattered across the lands of Faerûn.

Some are unique, or are the last of their kind. The secrets of creating these items, if indeed they were ever known to mortal beings, are lost to the depths of time.
