1000-The Sword of Two-Fifty's Soul

This blade contains the soul and partly the thoughts of the entity known as 250. 250 was an adventurer who had an obsession for using itemes that had very long histories. 250 was a bard and travelled the realms seeking out long lost historical weapons. he would then write down as much of their history as he could and attach them to his sword belt. needless to say he ended up with many, many weapons. 250 was also a mediocre blacksmith who took up smithing due to his love for weapons. unfortunately while he was working on one such item, really a modification on an ancient blade of mild but curious enchantment, he became trapped within the sword. This accident was caused when the great archmage KenTeamBG secretly placed a soul trap enchantment on the blade. for you see, Ken was tired of hearing 250 ask him about blacksmithing techniqes and how to make various enchantments at inappropriate times and places. when asked about this the sword will tell you it was really much more complicated then this and will recount old tales that are completely irrelevant. however this does have an upside: the wielder of this weapon has his lore greatly increased and the sword has rather random special effects, some of which are very powerful. of course, after combat the sword will go on and on about the history of that ability and what weapon was capable of casting it to the point where your ready to cast silence around yourself just to shut the thing up, but it is useful nonetheless.
