How to Use this Guide

This guide offers a catalog of different pieces to put together into one magical weapon. This can be offered to players as a ways to make their own unique magic item, or used as a template to begin to craft a new magical item with a number of properties as opposed to just one singular theme or property.

Components

  Each weapon is split into different components, usually involving a blade/material, a handle, and occasionally a guard or chain depending on the weapon. Each of these different components have a number of magical options to choose from, whether it be runes, enchantments, or made with a specific magical alloy. Although there is a great deal of overlap when it comes to certain magical components, for example many weapons will have similar 'Handle' options, there is a variation between the different types of weapons, as Flails will have new magical components of magical chains, or Warhammers will not have certain magical components that can only be placed on blades. In addition to these magical components and upgrades, there are also Amplifiers that can be added to every weapon, which are usually embedded into the pommel of the weapon.

Categories

  Because of this, most all of the weapons listed in the player's handbook have been separated into categories due to their similar components. For example, Light Crossbows, Hand Crossbows, and Heavy Crossbows are in a different category then that of Quarterstaffs, Clubs, and Greatclubs as their components are vastly different and as such have different magical upgrades/runes.

Regarding Attunement

  Since these are magical items, some of them will require attunement when fully completed, however a more simplistic magical weapon will not require attunement. Thee more powerful the weapon, the harder it is for its magical properties to remain stable without a connection to the user and the weapon, and as such more powerful weapons will require attunement. The way attunement is determined is through a weapon's Runic Level. Each component of the weapon increases the weapon's Runic Level depending on its rarity, and if a weapon reaches or exceeds Runic Level 4, the weapon will require attunement to utilize all of its properties.

A Common component does not increase a weapon's Runic Level.
  An Uncommon component increases the weapon's Runic Level by 1.
  A Rare component increases the weapon's Runic Level by 2.
  A Very Rare component increases the weapon's Runic Level by 3.

This amplifier is a jet black diamond on the hilt of the blade that has an almost metallic sheen with unstable violet runes running through the diamond and the handle of the weapon. As an action, you can speak the amplifier’s command word and grasp the hilt of this weapon, where a shadowy duplicate will melt from the diamond and pour into your other hand, provided it does not have the two-handed or heavy properties. This shadowy duplicate is considered to be an exact replica of the weapon this amplifier is attached to and it does not require attunement. This shadowy duplicate lasts for 10 minutes, or until the duplicate leaves your grasp where it will melt into a black pool of shadow.
