Moonblades also are self aware and have some degree of being able to think for themselves. Moonblades are quite literally forged moonbeams, turned into weapons of incredible power. They use the same sort of magic to capture moonbeams for Moonblades as they do when capturing moonbeams to make the special moonwine (Fermented moonbeams) that Elves drink at special religious festivals. No two Moonblades are the same, and being passed down through families is a falsehood. Moonblades select their owner. An Elf (Or any humanoid for that matter) might pick up a Moonblade, only to think it a regular sword. It will function as a totally non magical sword, usually cast aside for poor balance and a dull blade. However, if somebody the sword deems worthy picks it up, it comes to life. There have been stories of humans being worthy of a Moonblades attention, although this would be incredibly rare. The best function of any Moonblade is it's ability to hit ethereal creatures, like Astral travelers or special types of undead that are nearly impossible to be hit by any weapon unless it is ethereally enchanted.
