Also known as the sword of neutrality, this silver long sword is a tool for the balancing powers of the universe. Its creator desired that it be used to equalize (or, more accurately, to terminate) the extremes of nature, shifting the universe closer to the true neutral alignment. Only a character of true neutral alignment can fully use this sword. In the hands of such a character, the weapon is treated as a +3 weapon when determining what can be hit by it, even though its attack and damage bonuses are only +1. In the hand of a true neutral character, the sword receives special combat modifiers according to the opponent's alignment:
| Opponent's Alignment | Attack Bonus |
Damage Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Lawful neutral, chaotic neutral | +1 | +2 |
| Neutral good, neutral evil | +2 | +4 |
| Lawful good, chaotic good | +3 | +6 |
| Lawful evil, chaotic evil | +3 | +6 |
Each time an opponent of an extreme alignment is struck, the creature must make a saving throw vs. spell or be disintegrated. Against true neutral opponents the sword receives only the bonuses of a long sword +1.
