Item Entry: The Edge of Thorns
Wielded by Grelore Thistleborne in the Gordainean Age, this greataxe has a wooden pole carved from the severed branch of an ancient treant for a shaft, and a blade of the finest steel, tinted green and dark grey with dye made from dryad's hair and blueberries. Where the blade is fixed to the shaft, twisting vines shaped of the metal and carved from the wood are impossibly intertwined, and have five-inch thorns of both material sticking out all over them.
In the hands of most, the Edge of Thorns acts as a +4 Greataxe. A Ranger, Druid, or Cleric with the plant or animal domain, however, can unlock this ancient weapon's true potential. A wielder of this nature can cast the following spells as a lvl 20 Druid:
At Will: Detect Pits and Snares, Detect Plants and Animals
5/day: Entangle
4/day: Barkskin
2/day: Summon Nature's Ally V
Aditionally, all plants and animals recognize the wielder of the Edge of Thorns as a friend of nature and are considered Neutral, Helpful, or Friendly, depending on the circumstances.
