SHAKTI

When invoked this statuette causes an amazing metamorphosis in the user, temporarily transforming them into a savage blue armored gladiator wielding a shortsword in each hand.
Whether this wondrous figurine allows the user to channel the spirit of a legendary warrior, or whether it simply unleashes the instinctual primal fury found deep within the possessor’s own psyche is unclear.

CLUB OF DETONATION
Amnish fable tells the tale of Nysrogh, a powerful denizen of the lower planes unleashed upon Amn by a careless sorceress named Unileth.
Completely immune to any and all weapons used against him, Nysrogh rampaged throughout Amn, and Unileth took it upon herself to end the threat she had unleashed. Using her knowledge of the demon’s weaknesses, she constructed a great club to defeat Nysrogh, and gave it to a brave but anonymous knight to be her champion.
Unileth’s champion issued a challenge to Nysrogh, which the demon readily accepted, confident it could not be harmed by any weaponry known to the Realms. On the field of battle they met and beneath the fierce gaze of Nysrogh, Unileth’s champion promptly dropped his weapon and fled in terror.
Nysrogh reached out to claim the champion’s discarded club as a symbol of his victory. But as the demon’s clawed hand touched the surface of the club he unleashed a spell of imprisonment, for which he was completely unprepared. Unileth’s trap had worked, and the demon that could not be harmed by any weapon was forever trapped inside the magic club.
The crude wooden club still burns with the raging spirit of the demon forever trapped within by the powerful enchantments placed on the weapon. Occasionally, however, the demon's wrath manages to escape in a fiery blast.

STORM STAR
This magical weapon is of ancient design, which scholars have linked to Netheril itself. Though such electrum plated maces as Storm Star are usually found in the North, there are whispered rumors of this particularly powerful specimen being lost in the Southern reaches of the Realms.
Storm Star’s already formidable abilities have been further enhanced by the addition of the otherworldly Starfall Ore. This strange material comes from the core of a meteorite, which fell from the heavens. The malleable ore is surprisingly strong, and radiates an inner heat. Any item forged from the alien matter would undoubtedly possess mysterious and unearthly properties.
Despite its massive size, Storm Star is surprisingly light, making it particularly easy to wield in combat. It crackles with spectacular, though harmless, arcs of lightning when wielded – a visible manifestation of the powerful electrical enchantments infused within the weapon’s head.

IXIL’S SPIKE
Shortly after the Time of Troubles began the nomadic bandit tribes of the Calimshan desert were united under a single leader; a cruel and brutal giant of a man, the warlord Ixil Xaxsha. From their outposts in the forbidding desert waste, the nomads raided merchant caravans and terrorized travelers who dared journey over the road from Calimport to Myratma.
Rumors and legends quickly spread about the invincible Ixil, who rode at the head of every raiding party brandishing his infamous magical spear. Some believe he was not truly a man, but a demon in human form, drawn to Faerun by the chaos and confusion of the Time of Troubles.
Ixil’s own sadism and savagery did little to quell these allegations. During battle the head of Ixil’s Spike, his mighty spear, would detach to pin opponents to the ground even as a new head magically reformed on the end of the spear. Often in the thick of combat, Ixil would pause to savor the helpless struggles of an enemy impaled by the point of his spear… seeming to delight in the writhing agony of his enemy.
The warlord was finally defeated when he was lured into attacking a contingent of powerful priests and knights from the Order of the Radiant Heart, posing as simple pilgrims. Witnesses to the battle claim Ixil was not slain, but was in fact banished to some hellish outer plane by the holy magic of the Order.
Though Ixil’s body was never found, Ixil’s Spike – his fearsome spear and the symbol of his power – was recovered. In an effort to utterly destroy the artifact, it was shattered into several pieces, which were scattered about the Southlands.
