Sharpe’s Bizarre Blade Bazaar Item #2325: “Wolfwootz”
Price: 49 sols

A sheep farmer, amateur smith, and hedge mage in the old provinces was once bedeviled by wolves, who constantly attacked and took his sheep and decimated his flocks. So he took it upon himself to create a blade that would solve the problem, even going to far as to forge his own wootz steel in his backyard. In the end, the blade was finished only at the cost of the shepherd’s life, and it fell to others to finish the weapon by adding a hilt, guard, and pommel. The resulting weapon has a thirst for blood, and will hunt down foes mercilessly–glowing in their presence and inflicting extra damage upon them with every wound. For the bargain price of practically free, what ulterior motive could we possibly have in offering it thus?

Billao’s Note:
THE SWORD ONLY KILLS WOLVES. It only glows when wolves are nearby, only deals extra damage to wolves, and won’t even harm anything else unless it’s wearing a wolf skin. I guess you could go around with a pelt, throw it on your target, and go to town, but how convenient is that? Seriously, don’t kill wolves. They’re endangered enough as it is.
