Editing Edict's Edge

{{Infobox_item|affilliation=affiliation|name={{PAGENAME}}|powers=powers|type=Weapon (Rapier)}}

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a rapier from the Plane of [[Mechanus]] designed to be used by Modron investigators. It was stolen by the [[devil]] [[Belphagor]] and later gifted to the elven [[rogue]] [[Sylphine Nightfall]].

== Description ==
This rapier gleams with mirrored steel engraved in fractal, geometric patterns. Its hilt ticks faintly with the rhythm of an unseen clock, and golden filaments run along its edge, pulsing in steady intervals. Its hilt has two silver wings jutting out from it. Crafted in Mechanus, the rapier was intended to be used by modron authorities who were investigating primes across the cosmos. But that changed when the sword's previous wielder was slain by the devil Belphagor.

As a three stage magic item, when a new user initially attunes to the rapier, they can only access stage 1 abilities. But if they continue to use the rapier's abilities, they can unlock stages 2 and 3.

'''Edict's Edge'''
''Artifact, Weapon(Rapier), Requires Attunement by a Rogue''

When a creature first attunes to this artifact, they can access all Stage 1 abilities. At the DM's discretion after being attuned for a certain amount of time, the user can access Stage 2 and Stage 3 abilities. If a creature becomes unattuned to the item and later becomes reattuned, they could access all stage abilities they could before.

'''''Stage 1'''''

* You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
* ''Eye For Lies.'' You gain advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks and Wisdom (Insight) checks made to detect lies, inconsistencies, or hidden motives.
* ''Winged Hilt.'' When you dash, the rapier gives you a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end of your next turn.

'''''Stage 2'''''

* The bonus increases to +2.
* ''Interrogating Blade.'' When you hit with a Sneak Attack, you can force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier). On a failed save, the target is compelled to tell the truth as if under the Zone of Truth spell for one minute.
* ''Arcane Investigator.'' You can cast Detect Magic at will.
